Silent Book is a calm EPUB, FB2 and PDF reader for Android that makes room on a big screen: two pages side by side, as in an open book, a side rail in place of the bottom bar, and pages that turn from the keyboard or the mouse wheel.
On a wide window, a tablet or an opened foldable, a side rail replaces the bottom bar, and sheets stay a comfortable width in the middle of the screen instead of stretching across it.
Landscape keeps its own reading settings, so a book can be set one way while you hold the tablet upright and another way when you turn it.
In the paged style, Silent Book shows two pages side by side when the window is at least 720 dp wide, as in an open book. A foldable held like a book shows two pages too.
Silent Book installs on a Chromebook from Google Play, and its window resizes freely: make it wide enough, and the paged style shows two pages. It is listed as supported on most Android tablets and every Chromebook in Play's device catalogue.
Silent Book opens EPUB, FB2 (zipped too), TXT, PDF, DOCX and HTML books, CBZ comics, manga and manhwa, and audiobooks in MP3, M4A, M4B, AAC, OGG, WAV and FLAC. It does not open MOBI, AZW3 or DjVu.
Reading works offline and needs no sign-up, and nothing is shown while you read: the only ad is an optional video you can choose to watch for questions to Assist, the app's helper. The device's own voice can read EPUB, FB2 and text books aloud, and the app speaks 27 languages.
A reading ambience can play while you read: rain, the sea, a campfire, forest wind, snow or a summer night, with an optional piano; every sound is free, with no daily limit and no sign-in. For free books to read, see our guide to free e-books.
Install Silent Book from Google Play on your tablet, foldable or Chromebook, then add your books: pick files, or scan a whole folder at once.
