Features

What eBook Pro can do today

Each feature is labelled with its real status. Anything not released is marked Planned and also appears on the roadmap.

Reading

A reader built around your own books, with its own typography and page-turning.

  • PDF readingFixed-layout rendering of PDF pages, with pinch-to-zoom, optional two-page spreads on wide screens, and optional automatic margin cropping.Available
  • EPUB and EPUB3 readingEPUB 2 and EPUB 3 files open as reflowable text, shown in eBook Pro’s own typography. See limitations on the formats page.Available
  • Plain text (TXT)Text files are split into paragraphs and read like any other book.Available
  • Page turningChoose a page-curl animation or a simple slide, in settings.Available
  • ZoomPinch-to-zoom and pan on PDF pages.Available
  • Search inside a bookSearch PDFs using the document’s text layer; scanned pages are read with on-device OCR on Android (English and Hindi/Devanagari).Available
  • OCR for scanned pagesScanned PDFs and book illustrations are recognised on your device with Google ML Kit, in Latin and Devanagari scripts, so you can select, copy, search and translate the text. Android only; not available in the web app.Available
  • BookmarksBookmark any page of a PDF or EPUB from the reader’s top bar. EPUB bookmarks follow the text, so they stay right when you change the font size. Bookmarks are listed in the book’s notes.Available
  • Links and footnotes in EPUBLinks inside EPUB books are tappable: a footnote opens in a pop-up, a link to another chapter jumps there with a way back, and a web link opens in your browser after asking.Available
  • Bilingual reading PremiumRead a chapter (or a PDF page) paragraph by paragraph with its translation: side by side on tablets, one under the other on phones. Each paragraph is translated once and kept, so it opens instantly next time. Android and iOS (on-device translation).Available
  • Table of contentsChapter navigation from EPUB navigation documents (EPUB 3 nav and EPUB 2 NCX) and PDF outlines, when the file includes them.Available
  • Text selectionSelect a word, a line or a passage in PDF and EPUB (in EPUB: long-press and drag). A toolbar offers Highlight, Add note, Save passage, Translate, Define/explain and Copy.Available
  • Themes and typographyThree colour themes and adjustable reading typography in settings.Available

Learning

Tools that help you understand and remember what you read.

  • AI explanations PremiumExplain a selected passage in context, powered by Google’s Gemini and run through eBook Pro’s own server. Premium only, up to 20 requests per day.Available
  • AI summaries PremiumSummaries of the current page, chapter or whole book. A book is never sent whole: the summary uses the contents with your saved chapter summaries or each chapter’s opening, and says so. Summaries are saved with their source, so they open again offline. A whole-book summary counts as 3 of the 20 daily AI uses.Available
  • TranslationTranslate selected text between English, Hindi and about 28 other languages. The source language is detected automatically. On Android it runs on your device (Google ML Kit; language packs download once, then work offline); in the web app the text is sent to an online translation service.Available
  • Hindi and Unicode supportHindi (Devanagari) text is shown, selected, searched, translated, saved in notes and exported correctly, using bundled Noto fonts so it looks the same on every device.Available
  • Listen (read aloud)Text-to-speech using the voices built into your device.Available
  • Dictionary pop-upsLong-press a word for a definition. The bundled offline dictionary is currently a small sample; Wikipedia summaries cover more.Partial
  • AI: explain, simplify, summarize, examplesPremium readers can ask for an explanation, a simpler rewrite, a short summary or examples of a selected passage. AI answers are labelled as generated and can be saved as a note or flashcard.Available
  • Wikipedia lookupFetch a short Wikipedia summary, thumbnail and link for a selected word or phrase, in English or Hindi (hi.wikipedia.org). Requires internet.Available
  • Highlights and pen annotationsDraw with a pen or highlighter directly on the page. A smart highlighter can snap to the line of text.Available
  • FlashcardsTurn a highlight into a flashcard and review with spaced repetition (SM-2). Cards are currently generated by blanking the highlighted text in its sentence (cloze); AI-written cards are planned.Available
  • Community highlightsOptionally see which passages other readers highlighted in store books. Only anonymous counts of highlighted ranges are shared.Available
