Love of The Written Word

Short sections with large text so you don’t get distracted or overwhelmed by the number of words on a page, plus progress stats to keep track of what you’re doing

The ability to highlight sections you’re having particular trouble focusing on or understanding so you can separate it from the rest of the text

You can also make notes when your thoughts are too busy to keep in your head

Plus, when you highlight words or phrases, wikipedia, a translator, and a dictionary pop up in case you’re like me and obsessively stop to look up new words, particularly when other languages pop up

Miss a plot point somewhere? You can search words in the book to find specific mentions of it.

And if you need to, you can change the font, line spacing, color, text size, and margins.
