1. Add a book
- Open the Library and tap +.
- Choose a file in the Files app or from an installed file provider.
- Book Reader copies the document, creates its library entry and prepares its cover.
Supported formats are DRM-free PDF, ZIP, CBZ and CBR. Encrypted or multi-volume CBR archives are not supported.
2. Explore your library
The colorful tabs open all books, reading statuses, genres, authors, publishers, tags and favorites. Search accepts a title, author, genre, publisher or ISBN. Touch and hold a cover to open quick actions.
3. Edit book information
Open a book’s information page to correct its title, author, genre, publisher, publication date, ISBN and tags. Manual edits become the priority source.
Title{publisher}{genre}{author}[YYYYMMDD]. A missing value can stay empty, for example Title{publisher}{}{author}.The optional positional format also accepts three parts separated by an uppercase I or a vertical bar. You can assign a role to each part in Settings.
4. Choose a cover
From the book information page, use another page as the cover or crop the image to a 4:5 ratio. The optimized cover is stored separately so the library remains responsive.
5. Read and navigate
Quickly tap a page to show or hide the controls. The reading menu lets you choose horizontal or vertical navigation, scrolling behavior, reading direction, one or two pages and the background color. Use the bottom slider to jump to another page.
Pinch with two fingers to zoom, then move around the enlarged image with two fingers. Bookmarks and the page menu remain available from the top bar.
6. iCloud and device storage
Book Reader keeps originals in its private iCloud folder when iCloud Drive is available. A book downloads when it needs to be opened; its local copy can later be released without deleting the iCloud original.
Settings lets you verify book files, synchronize missing covers, or release finished and unread books from the device.
