How it begins

3 May. Bistritz.—Left Munich at 8:35 p.m., on 1st May, arriving at Vienna early next morning; should have arrived at 6:46, but train was an hour…

Read it by a campfire

A crackling fire suits it: it is told in diaries and letters, and its first nights pass in a castle in the Carpathians while wolves howl outside.

The button above opens the book with a crackling campfire, its weather over the page. The sound starts with your first tap or key in the reader, and the sound panel changes the scene or turns it off. More about it: Campfire sounds for reading.

The same sounds in the Android app

Silent Book for Android has the same six sounds and both pianos, over your own EPUB, FB2 and PDF books on your phone. It is free, with no daily limit, no ads while you read and no sign-in needed. The sounds come with the app, so they play with no connection.

Get it on Google Play

Silent Book opens on Google Play country by country, so it may not be in yours yet.
