About BookShelf - Read & Translate

BookShelf turns reading into the most natural way to learn a language. Pick a book from thousands of free classics in 17 languages — or import your own EPUB — read in a clean, distraction-free reader, and tap any word you don't know. The translation appears instantly, right where you're reading, in your own language. But a dictionary only tells you what a word means. BookShelf goes further: an AI grammar assistant explains how the word actually works in the sentence you're reading — tense, form, nuance, and why it's used that way. It's the difference between "look" meaning "воля" out of context and understanding "people will call" as a real future tense. Every word you tap can be saved to your personal vocabulary and synced across your devices. Then practice them with built-in flashcards — swipe to mark what you know, and BookShelf brings each word back exactly when you're about to forget it. WHY BOOKSHELF - Thousands of free books in 17 languages — browse and download public domain classics right in the app, no account or payment needed - Read your own books — import any EPUB and read comfortably with adjustable, distraction-free display - Tap for instant translation — one tap on any word, translated in context without leaving the page - AI grammar explanations — understand tense, form, and nuance, not just the dictionary definition - Build your vocabulary — save words as you read and turn them into a personal study list - Review with flashcards — spaced repetition brings words back right before you forget them - Cloud sync — your books and words follow you across devices - Export anywhere — send your vocabulary to Anki, Quizlet, or CSV in one tap - Clean, focused design — nothing between you and the book FREE & PRO BookShelf is free to use, with daily free translations and a generous saved-word limit.
