About Book Shelter: PDF Reader
Reading PDFs on a phone can be tiring: the text is tiny, you keep zooming and scrolling, and it never feels like reading a real book. Book Shelter was made to change that.
π YOUR OWN BOOKSHELF
Add your PDF books and they line up on your shelf with their covers. Sort them into folders; the book you opened last always comes first. Book Shelter remembers where you left off, and how.
π EASY ON THE EYES
In reading mode, the text reflows to fit your screen. Text size, font, line spacing and page color are up to you; turn pages like a real book if you like. In the original view, tint pages cream, sepia or night.
βοΈ NOTES, HIGHLIGHTS AND YOUR NOTEBOOK
Highlight the lines you love, add notes, and turn your favorite lines into quote cards for Instagram or your WhatsApp status. Write your thoughts in your own notebook, dress it up with illustrated covers and page colors, and save it as a PDF.
π MY READING LIST
Books you're reading, want to read and have finished, all in one place. Rate them, write your thoughts and set a yearly reading goal.
π³ A FOREST THAT GROWS AS YOU READ
Every book plants a tree in your forest, and it grows as you read. Four seasons, friendly animals and calm forest music are waiting for you.
π READING PROGRESS AND REMINDER
Your daily reading time, weekly chart and streak. If you haven't read yet, a gentle reminder comes in the evening.
π¨ THEMES FOR YOUR MOOD
Cozy themes, each with its own little scene and a recipe for your reading break.
π YOUR BOOKS STAY WITH YOU
Book Shelter does not connect to the internet. Your books, notes and settings are stored only on your own phone and are never sent anywhere. No account needed, no ads.
Note: Scanned (image-only) PDFs open in page view; reading mode works with PDFs that contain text.
