What it's for

PocketBook reader is an ebook app for formats including EPUB and PDF, with support for protected books, comics, manga, and audiobooks. On a new phone, it gives you a place to read local files, browse the built-in book store, and use adjustable reading controls.

Get the app

After it installs: three settings

1. 01Shape your reading view

   Adjust fonts, colors, backgrounds, night mode, spacing, and margins to make pages easier to read in different lighting and for longer sessions.

   Open a book > Reading settings
2. 02Manage books and progress

   Use library tools, collections, bookmarks, and notes to keep titles organized and make it easier to return to a passage or continue reading.

   Look in the app's Library for collections, bookmarks, and notes
3. 03Set up cloud synchronization

   Synchronization can help you continue reading on another device and preserve progress in cloud storage; an internet connection is needed when syncing.

   Look in the app's Settings for synchronization

Path as given in the developer's help pages; menu names can differ slightly between versions and phones.

Common problem

Can't open a book? Check that the file is stored locally and that its format is among those supported by the app. For a protected title, confirm that you have the file and any access details needed to read it, then close and reopen the app. If the problem continues, consult the app's Google Play support information.
