Read EPUB, FB2 and PDF online, free, in your browser

EPUB, FB2 (also zipped as .fb2.zip or .fbz), PDF, TXT, CBZ comics and HTML files. Books with DRM copy protection do not open.

Press Open your own book and pick the file, or drop it onto the page. There is nothing to install: the reader works right in the browser.

The classics on this page are free to read here. For more, our guide to free e-books shows three volunteer libraries, Standard Ebooks, Project Gutenberg and Wikisource: how to download an EPUB from each and open it here.

No. The book opens inside your browser and never leaves your device: nothing is uploaded, and no account is needed to read. The page's security policy lets it load only its own reading tools and pictures from this site and blocks every other connection but one: signed in on the account page, your place in each book is kept with your Silent Book account, under a code made from the file. To check it yourself, open the browser's developer tools → Network and open a book: only this site's own files appear, and blob: and data: addresses, which are your book's own pages and pictures in your browser's memory; signed in, the place's requests to our server appear too.

Yes, in this browser. Open the same file again and it returns to your place. Books you keep on this device, and the classics you have started, wait under Continue reading, and Forget everything on this device clears it all. After a jump within the book, to a note, a chapter or a search result, Back returns to your place. Bookmarks, highlights and notes stay in this browser too, and Save a backup file takes them, with your places, to another browser. A private window keeps nothing after it closes.

Yes, after a visit with a connection. This browser then keeps the site's pages and the reader, the classics you have opened and, once you have opened a file of your own here, the tools that read the rest, so they all open with no connection. Your books are never sent anywhere; Forget everything on this device removes these files too. On a computer or an Android phone you can install the site from the browser's menu, and in Safari add it to the Home Screen (Share, then Add to Home Screen). Silent Book for Android keeps your whole library on the phone.

Yes: Silent Book for Android is on Google Play. It opens country by country, so it may not be in yours yet. There is no app for other systems yet; this page lets you read with Silent Book in the browser.

Yes. The sound button in the reader opens six scenes: spring rain, a summer night, autumn wind, a winter hush, a campfire and sea waves. Each plays a quiet sound and moves its weather over the page, and the sound and the weather can each be switched off. They are free, with no time limit.

Only what costs money to run, in the Android app. S Coin from packs on Google Play pays per use for chapter-by-chapter AI translation, book talk and Assist questions, and the app shows the cost before anything is charged. Premium, a Google Play subscription, adds whole books translated in the background, daily book talk, smart genres and Assist with no videos. Every mood, theme, background and ambience, here and in the app, is free for everyone, with no ads while you read and no time limit.

Yes. Reading here is free, with no ads and no account needed to read, and every mood, sound and weather is open with no time limit. The Android app is free too, with no ads while you read: its moods, ambiences, reading aloud and classics are open to everyone. Assist works with a short video or Premium, and only the AI features that cost money to run are paid.

Yes: the left and right arrow keys, Page Up and Page Down, or the space bar. Home and End go to the start and the end of the chapter, + and - change the type size (in a PDF or a comic, the page size), / opens search, C the contents and F full screen. Esc closes the menus, then the book.

Silent Book is built for quiet reading on Android: a distraction-free full-screen reader for EPUB, FB2, TXT, PDF, DOCX and HTML books, CBZ comics and audiobooks, with night warmth and gentle themes.

EPUB, FB2 (zipped too), TXT, PDF, DOCX and HTML books, CBZ comics and audiobooks in MP3, M4B and other common audio formats. Pick single files or scan a whole folder; opening a book from another app also works.

Install Silent Book, open the Library tab, tap Add to library and pick your EPUB, FB2, PDF or other files, or scan a whole folder at once. A book sent to you in a messenger opens too: tap the file and choose Silent Book. FB2 inside a zip opens without unpacking.

Yes, the Android app does. On an ONYX BOOX, a Bigme, a Hisense A5 and the other e-ink readers it knows, it switches to an e-ink look by itself: nothing moves, the page is black on white, and the device's buttons turn pages. On a tablet, an opened foldable or a wide Chromebook window, the paged style shows two pages side by side, and the keyboard turns pages. More: Silent Book on e-ink readers, and on tablets and Chromebooks.

Yes. CBZ comics, manga and manhwa open in their own reader: one vertical column by default, or pages left-to-right or right-to-left.

Yes. In the Android app the phone's own voice reads a book aloud for free, and audiobooks you import play with chapters, speed and a sleep timer. On this site, Read aloud behind the reader's sound button uses only the voices your browser reports as being on your device and hands the words to that speech engine, not to us; the browser's online voices are never used. On Android that engine is the phone's own text-to-speech (for example Google's), as in the app. Many devices have no Uzbek voice, so an Uzbek book may not be read aloud here. PDFs and comics are not read aloud.

Not while you read. This site shows no ads at all, and the Android app shows none while you read: no banners and no pop-ups. Its one ad is a short rewarded video in Assist, the app's helper, which you start yourself with a tap when you want more questions; it adds 3 questions, up to 5 videos a day. Premium readers never see it.

It can be, if you want a calm reader for EPUB, FB2, PDF, comics and audiobooks. It does not open MOBI, AZW3 or DjVu files. Our comparison page lists the differences honestly.
