What is Kevra
An app to read your own books on your phone, tablet or ereader, spoiler-free and in good company.
Kevra is a reading app for iPhone, iPad and Android (including Android-based ereaders such as Boox). You read your own books —EPUBs, PDFs, comics, magazines and audiobooks— and Kevra remembers where you are, on all your devices.
What you can do
- Read your books in a comfortable reader: font and text size, themes, night mode, highlights and notes, dictionary and read-aloud. See reader basics.
- Keep your library where it already lives: on your phone, in your Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive, on your home server or on Telegram, without downloading everything. See your libraries.
- Pick up on another device right where you left off: start on your phone and carry on on your tablet or ereader. See your position on all your devices.
- Ask the book, spoiler-free: the reading companion reminds you who a character is or what has happened so far, using only what you've already read.
- Read in company: follow your friends, join book clubs and comment without anyone spoiling what you haven't read yet.
- Organize what you want to read: your Want to read list, series, lists and where to get a book in public libraries and bookshops.
- Read for free: thousands of classics and rights-free books that download instantly.
Your files are yours
When you bring in a book from your phone, the file stays on your device: Kevra only uses its details (title, author, cover) to recognize it. Books in your clouds are read from there. More in your data and privacy.
Note: Kevra can't open DRM-protected books (those bought in the Kindle store, library loans or Audible audiobooks). We explain it in formats Kevra reads.
How the app is organized
There are three tabs at the bottom:
- Home: what you're reading and the books in your whole account, whether they're on this device or somewhere else.
- Library: the books in the library you choose (this device, a cloud, a server…). This is where you add books.
- Community: discover books, what the people you follow are up to, clubs, lists and your profile.
Settings opens when you tap your photo in the top right corner.
To get started
- Create your account.
- Add your first books.
- Take a look at the Home screen.
Kevra has a free plan and paid plans with extra features: see Plans: Free, Plus and Pro.
