This app is essentially an alternative interface to the Open Library site — all of your data is stored there, and the books you read are hosted online, not in the app.
The moment you open the app and log in, any books you've already saved on the Open Library site are laid out on your screen.
You can sort them by title, author, publication date, and date saved, see which books are available to read, and open them with a single tap.
Open Library is an initiative of the Internet Archive, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form.
Open Library is an online library with millions of books to browse or check out.
The developer of this app has no legal or contractual relationship with Open Library or the Internet Archive, and bears no responsibility for the content found there.
Once you've opened a book in the familiar reading interface, a tap at the top of the screen will trigger the full screen mode, removing every distraction and expanding the book pages to the limits of your screen for the perfect reading experience.
This app is one reader's effort to create the ideal portable experience for taking advantage of Open Library's amazing collection.
