🎧 READ ALOUDS
The app will read any book aloud using your Android's speech synthesis. Control from the lock screen, adjust the speed, and adjust the sleep timer. Turn on and listen to the book while driving, jogging, or before bed; the paragraph being read aloud is highlighted in the text.

⚙️ A CUSTOMIZE-FACING READER
• Page mode with page turn animation (flip, slide, fade) or vertical scrolling with autoscroll.
• Book-like fonts, size, line spacing, and syllable breaks—the text looks just like a paper book.
• Day and night themes: paper, sepia, night, custom background and text colors, and a blue light filter for reading in the dark.
• Scroll with volume buttons, orientation lock, "Keep screen on," sleep timer.
• The app remembers your reading position word for word and returns you to where you left off.
• Backup – your books and settings won't be lost when you switch smartphones.

✍️ NOTES, BOOKMARKS, QUOTES
Highlight a passage – save a quote, add a note, or bookmark. Quotes are collected in a separate collection, searched by text, and transformed into a beautiful image that can be shared. A dictionary and translation are available for each selected word.

📥 FULL OFFLINE
Downloaded books remain on your device: on a plane, on the subway, on a train, at your dacha without service, or while roaming, your library works just like at home. The app takes up little space – you only store the books you've opened.

📖 WHAT TO READ
Classics aren't just "thick novels." The library offers adventure and travel books, classic detective stories, humorous stories, philosophical and historical fiction, books about love, dystopias and early science fiction, war stories and village prose, fairy tales, and children's stories. Browse by author, title, or simply browse—you'll find something you've been meaning to read, as well as something you've never heard of.

👤 WHO IT'S BEST FOR
• Those who want to get back into reading but aren't ready to pay for a subscription.
• Those who read on the road, on the subway, and on planes where there's no internet.
• Those who love listening: turn on read-aloud and go about your day.
• For schoolchildren and students—a summer reading list and works from the school curriculum are always at hand.

Classic books are about finally reading "The Master and Margarita," rereading Chekhov's stories, filling in literary gaps, or simply finding something to read in the evening. Free, offline, and complete.
