Folio — Read & Translate

Quiet covers. Real chapters. A reader that knows where you are. No streaks. No "engagement" pressure. No ads inside the page. Just the book, and you. — — — Folio respects your library. Your uploads stay on your device unless you choose to share them. No analytics inside chapters, ever.
