You don’t just read. You disappear into books.
RookReader opens the books you already own — EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3, FB2, DOCX, RTF, TXT, HTML and CBZ comics — and puts them on one shelf with your audiobooks and the web serials you follow. Beautiful typography, eight reading themes, and nothing standing between you and the story.
A Reader, Not a Bookstore
RookReader sells you nothing but itself. Your books stay on your device, they are never uploaded, and they are never used to train an AI model. There are no ads in the free tier, and there is no subscription in the paid one.
Every Book, One Shelf
Ten formats, imported from your device or pulled from OPDS, Calibre-Web, WebDAV, Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive
Rook AI, Spoiler-Safe
It has read every page you have and not one page more. Catch up, ask who a character is, or bring your own API key
A Page You Can Tune
Eight themes, your own typefaces, saved reading profiles, bionic reading, auto-scroll and speed reading
Web Serials, First Class
Follow ongoing serials through their own RSS or Atom feeds and read them with the same typography as everything else
Listen Instead
Your own audiobooks, 20,000+ free public-domain recordings, or any book read aloud — with Whispersync between the two
Keep Every Line
Highlights, notes and tags in one searchable Notebook, exportable as Markdown or to Readwise
One Account, Every Device
Your shelf follows you everywhere for free — and so does your place in one book, so you can watch sync actually work before you decide to pay for it. Pro syncs your exact page, every highlight and every note across your whole library.

Every major reader fails somewhere. Sync is broken or paywalled behind a monthly fee. The free tier shows an ad every time you switch books. The app with the best features looks like it was built for a device nobody owns any more. RookReader was built to fix all four at once.
Pro is $8.99, once. Not a subscription, not a trial, not per device. Everything else is free, and free has no ads in it — it never will.
• Support — formats, restoring Pro, sync, account deletion
• Privacy Policy — what leaves your device, and what never does
