CalibReader connects to Calibre the way Calibre users actually want: no accounts, no uploads, no subscriptions.
Just your library on your device.
Put your entire library onto your tablet or mobile device with a few simple taps. Always available, stored locally, browseable and readable whether or not you're running Calibre. This is how book collections are meant to be read.
You've spent years curating your library: tagging, rating, organising series, building the perfect collection. Every other mobile reader treats that work as invisible. CalibReader reads your Calibre library as you built it: series in order, ratings intact, custom columns respected, metadata all there.
The built-in reader means you never need to leave the app. Browse, find, read in one place, on your device, no internet required.
CalibReader is also just a genuinely great ereader, no strings attached. Load your EPUB and PDF files directly from Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, or a local folder. No account. No ecosystem. No store trying to sell you books.
A beautiful library browser, a clean reading experience, powerful filtering and series support. Everything the big-name apps have, none of what you resent about them.
Your library lives on your device. Not in a cloud you don't control. Not behind an account that could be deleted. Read on a plane, underground, anywhere: your entire collection, always there.
Reads your Calibre library directly: series, metadata, custom columns, tags, ratings, all of it. Not an approximation. Your library as you built it, on your device.
$9.99. Once. No annual fee. No "pro tier." No features held hostage. The app you buy today is the app you keep using indefinitely.
Not a stripped-down reader bolted onto a sync engine. Built from the ground up for Calibre libraries and serious readers.
A full-featured ereader is built right in. No bouncing between apps: EPUBs and PDFs both open in the same reader. Tap a book in your library and start reading immediately, with clean typography and adjustable settings.
Delta sync means even libraries of thousands of books stay current in seconds, not minutes. Add a book in Calibre on your desktop, pick it up on your device moments later.
Mark a book finished on your tablet, and it's marked in Calibre too. Your read status follows you, not the other way around.
Two-wayPick up exactly where you left off, every time. Reading position syncs across sessions automatically for all in-progress books.
See series, series index, tags, rating, publisher, and more, all customizable. Show what matters to you, hide what doesn't.
Filter by read status, author, genre, series, tag, language, and format, all at once, then sort by author, title, date, rating, or series order. Find any book in seconds.
Dedicated series view shows all series in your library. Tap any series to see every book in order: no searching, no manual sorting, no confusion about what comes next.
Series index, book count, and cover art. Exactly what you'd expect, done right.
Filter by read status, author, genre, series, tag, language, and format, all at once. Stack them to answer a real question in seconds: which highly rated space operas haven't I read yet? Unread, plus Sci-Fi, plus the Space Opera tag, sorted by rating.
Custom column filtering is on the roadmap, coming in a future update.
No proprietary cloud required. CalibReader syncs via the same services you already use: Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive.
