Store listing

Full description
Ribbon is a lightweight EPUB and PDF reader that keeps your place in a book on every device you read on. Start a chapter on your phone at lunch, open your tablet in the evening, and the book is already on the right page. READING Ribbon opens EPUB and PDF files that are already on your device. It reads them where they are, so nothing is copied into the app and nothing is uploaded. Opening Ribbon takes you straight back to the page you stopped on. You can set the typeface, text size, line height and margins, and choose between five reading surfaces: Paper, Sepia, Grey, Ink and Black. Six typefaces are included, among them Atkinson Hyperlegible, which was drawn by the Braille Institute to be legible to people with low vision. A greyscale mode drains the colour from the page while leaving the rest of the app alone. KEEPING YOUR PLACE ACROSS DEVICES Pair a phone and a tablet with a short code. From then on, your position in each book, your library, your highlights and your collections stay the same on both. If you have read further ahead somewhere else, Ribbon offers to take you there rather than moving you without asking. There is no account to create, no email address to give and no password to remember. Pairing happens directly between your own devices, and costs nothing. SENDING A BOOK TO YOUR OTHER DEVICE Once two devices are paired you can send a book from one to the other across your own Wi-Fi network. The file travels directly between the two devices and never passes through a server. HIGHLIGHTS AND NOTES Press and hold a passage to keep it, and add a note to it if you want one. Anything you keep appears on your other device, and tapping it takes you back to the exact spot in the book it came from. YOUR LIBRARY Search by title, author or tag. Group books into collections of your own, and mark them as favourites, currently reading, want to read, or finished. You can bring in a whole Calibre library at once, or browse and download from an OPDS catalogue. PRIVACY There is no advertising in Ribbon, no advertising ID, no analytics and no third-party trackers. Your book files never leave your device. Nothing is synced at all until you choose to pair a second device. Crash reports are optional and can be switched off in Settings. Nothing is sold or shared with anyone. Privacy policy: https://ribbon-reader-sync.web.app/privacy Ribbon is not a bookstore and does not sell books. It opens the files you already have — bought elsewhere, borrowed from a library, downloaded from Project Gutenberg, or exported from Calibre.

What's new

Open an EPUB or PDF from anywhere — a file manager, a download, a mail attachment — and Ribbon now offers to open it, instead of leaving you to import it by hand. Text is hyphenated, so justified lines stop stretching their spaces to fit. The time left in a chapter is measured from how fast you actually read, rather than from an average of everybody.
