MapleRead

What MapleRead is

MapleRead is an iOS e-book reader family with CX, CE, and SE editions. Its EPUB reader offers adjustable reading styles, layouts, themes, and fonts, while synchronized immersion reading pairs text with generated narrator voices in more than 40 languages. Readers can look up words, translate sentences, save vocabulary, highlight passages, and write notes. Library tools organize books into sets and tags and let readers edit book metadata.

All editions read DRM-free, password-free EPUB books. SE also includes a reader for DRM-free, password-free PDFs. MapleRead works with Calibre and supports importing or transferring books through OPDS, HTML, PC Upload, iTunes, and AirDrop. Cloud sync covers reading positions, notes, vocabulary, bookmarks, and book-set membership, but not book files; synced information can be viewed in a browser on desktop or mobile devices. The maker describes MapleRead as intended for readers with large or growing collections. Maplepop’s privacy policy says accounts use an email address as the Maplepop ID and personal information is not sold, rented, or shared with third parties. It also says online services such as reading-progress sync protect information in transit using SSL.

MapleRead suits iOS readers who want adjustable EPUB reading, annotation, vocabulary tools, and library organization. Its editions also give readers a choice of PDF support and a built-in Library Server in SE.
