A little space. A whole other world.
Your books, beautifully at home. A private EPUB and PDF reader for the stories you get lost in—and the thoughts you keep.
A shelf that feels like yours.
All your stories, in good company. Make collections, find a favorite, and keep your next read close.
Your pace. Your perfect page.
Warm paper or a darker room. A little more space between the lines. Make yourself comfortable, then keep reading.
Keep the words. Find your thoughts.
Mark a passage. Follow a thought. Return to the sentence that stayed with you. Your reading tools are right beside the page.
Your books. Your business.
A quieter corner of the internet. Your files and reading life stay in this browser, with a backup whenever you need one.
Which books can I open?
ReadVeranda reads DRM-free EPUB 2 and EPUB 3 files, including illustrated and fixed-layout books. PDF documents are supported with page navigation, zoom, text search, bookmarks, and passage notes. Scanned PDFs remain readable without OCR. MOBI and other formats are not supported. Original book files are preserved.
Do my books ever leave my device?
Your EPUBs and PDFs are processed in your browser. There are no book uploads, accounts, or analytics. Books, reading positions, and annotations stay in this browser; they do not sync between devices.
Will ReadVeranda remember where I stopped?
Yes. Your library, reading position, bookmarks, highlights, and notes are saved in this browser. Appearance preferences are saved locally too. Browser storage can be cleared or evicted, so keep your original files and download a library backup.
Can I take my notes and library with me?
Export notes and highlights as Markdown or plain text from the reader. Backup & restore in My library exports original EPUBs and PDFs, covers, metadata, collections, progress, annotations, and preferences in a ReadVeranda ZIP backup.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The reader adapts to phones and tablets, with chapter and settings drawers. Use the same browser to return to your local library. Visit while connected and wait until App & offline says Ready for offline reading. The cached app can then reopen locally saved EPUBs and PDFs without a connection. Installation is optional; browser storage still needs backups.
