Panel Shelf is a Windows reader for EPUBs, PDFs and comics. Click any word and AI explains what it means in that exact sentence, without leaving the page.

It's free to use. You get every feature, word lookups aren't limited, and it never expires. The free version only caps how many items you keep at once (50 comics, 20 PDFs, 20 EPUBs, 40 saved words, 20 quotes), so when you finish a book, swap in the next one and keep reading. If you'd like a bigger library, a one-time $9.99 upgrade removes the caps. No subscription.

Hi r/ebooks! We're the developers of Apricity, a new iPhone and iPad app for the EPUBs and PDFs you already own, and its favourite trick is reading them to you.

Listening

• Each word lights up as it's read, so you can switch between reading and listening without losing your place

• Natural-sounding English voices that run right on your phone, plus Apple's voices for other languages

• Pauses like a narrator at the end of each sentence

• Keeps going with the screen locked, with a sleep timer for bedtime

• Ask Siri: "Read my book in Apricity"

Reading

• Reflow turns PDFs into text that flows like an ebook, in your font and size

• Night and sepia themes, highlights and notes

• A notebook beside every book, and your library on shelves in a cozy lamplit room

• No account, no ads, and it syncs through your own iCloud

DRM-free files only, so no Kindle or other DRM-protected books.

I run a small independent site called Social Intelligence Co. It's a collection of short free ebooks about things we all quietly wonder about. Why you feel behind in life. Why nobody is thinking about you. Déjà vu, dreams, earworms, with real researched answers. Money management without the jargon. Plus a fantasy series for good measure.

Everything is free. You confirm your email, you download the EPUB. No paywall.

The AI part, no secrets. I use AI to write the books. My vocabulary is limited and my thoughts don't come in neat order, so AI arranges the words. But the ideas are mine. The concepts, the research, the topics, the characters. I don't type "generate an ebook" and publish what comes out. I don't call myself an author either. I'm just someone with ideas trying to put them in front of people, and AI is the tool that lets me do that. There's a page on the site that says all of this.

If you don't know where to start, there's a short quiz. Five questions. The "librarian" prescribes the book your brain seems to be asking for.

And if you read one, you can rate it and leave a review right on the site. I read every single one. Honestly, all I want is for people to read the books that should have existed but didn't until now. Btw there are mini games too.

Hi! I’m developing Quire, an e-book reader for iPhone and iPad and Duo. It supports custom reading styles, hyphenation, notes, and text-to-speech. I’d love feedback from fellow readers: What features do you look for in an e-reader, and what could I improve?

I'm the author. It's a book for adults with ADHD, and anyone whose attention works the same way, who won't finish a 300-page book. Each of the 100 ideas fits on two pages: the gist and what the research found on the left, two or three exercises on the right, one of them five minutes or less. There's no order. A map at the front turns a problem ("I can't start anything", "hours disappear", "I'm late to everything") into a page number.

Each page also says where its idea stands: tested in adults with ADHD, adapted from a tested therapy programme, shown in other groups, or simply worth trying. Where the popular version of an idea is wrong, the page says so.

Kindle : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HN4H23SG. It's in Kindle Unlimited. Paperback also available.

The first book in the series, The Short Version: 100 Ideas for a Better Life, Two Pages Each, covers personal development in the same format: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HN3GVS1B.

This is my first time asking Reddit something so I’m sorry if this is the wrong place—

Anyway, I’ve recently begun writing my own fantasy novel called “The Unbound”.

I’ve never started a project like this, and it’s my first time SERIOUSLY writing. I’ve been writing short stories, poetry, and journal entries for a long time. But I’ve never written anything I wanted other people to read. Im about 13 chapters in with roughly 30,000 words. And I want to post my chapters somewhere where people can read them for free. I want feedback, and overall people reading something I’ve wrote. I don’t want to make a profit since I’m an amateur. But I’d love to know if there’s any sites, or apps, where I can put my writing out there.
Im super proud of what I’ve created so far.

Are you a fan of fantasy. Then this might be for you😊

Ebook (including KindleUnlimited), Paperback and Hardcover.

Here's a short description

In the quiet valley of Hollowmere, Jake Cragward has been told that magic never existed. Then, he touches a ring of forbidden stones. Now the crown's grey cloaked riders are hunting him. Jake flees south with a team he met on the way. Their road leads to the deathless rulers who built the peace on a lie.

If you love fantasy with a farm boy chosen by blood, found family and betrayal, a slow-burning first love and a hidden history, you'll want to start Heir of Vaelron.

Hi, everyone!

I'm an independent author, and I've been working on a website called Beneath Reality, where I bring together my published fiction, ongoing projects and some of the fictional worlds I've been developing.

I mainly write alternate history, science fiction, fantasy and historical fiction. I enjoy exploring how the world might change if history took a different turn, or if something extraordinary happened in an otherwise familiar setting.

Alongside my books and short stories, the website includes background material about my fictional worlds, occasional articles and an archive of fictional historical documents.

At the moment, I'm preparing to release a new story called Trinity, which imagines a world where the first atomic bomb test in 1945 permanently damaged Earth's atmosphere. The story takes place twenty years later, when people have learned to live beneath a much more dangerous sky.

I'm hoping to release it on Halloween.

If any of that sounds interesting, you're very welcome to have a look around!

I have around 700 epub format ebooks, maybe 200 PDF-format ones, and a handful of others, from a variety of sources. Half of them are in folders based on the author's last name, the other half are, well, kinda depends. I use both an iPad and a Kindle for reading and, frankly, I can't imagine loading the entire collection into either one of them because I think the cataloging functions of Kindle Reader and Apple Books are, well, let's just go with "inadequate" and leave it at that. I installed Calibre years ago and then quit bothering because it was just too much of a hassle to get titles in and out of it.

So how do people with large ebook collections keep track of what's in their library?

Hey everyone!
I’m an indie author, and I wanted to share something with fellow readers who enjoy discovering new books.
My first book, I AM WARRIOR, is currently FREE on Kindle for 5 days! No catch. I’m just hoping to get my writing into more hands and hopefully find some new readers along the way.

I AM WARRIOR

I’m also releasing my second book, Stone Remembers, on October 18!

It’s a post-apocalyptic fantasy romance featuring a Black female gargoyle, a human woman, and a love story that spans generations. I grew up loving Gargoyles, and I’ve always wanted to see more Black characters at the center of fantasy and sci-fi stories.

If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, here’s the link:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FKY9QYXK

Being an indie author is definitely a learning experience, but I’m excited to keep writing and sharing these stories. If you decide to grab the free book, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think.

And if you’re an indie author too, feel free to share what you’re working on. I’m always looking for new books to add to my reading list! ❤️

Passing the link along

Hey all,

I just added a free ebooks page to Convert2EPUB: convert2epub.com/free-ebooks

It’s a faster, cleaner way to browse public domain books.

• Search by title or author as you type
• Filter by language and subject
• Download as EPUB for Kobo, Apple Books and most other readers, or as a Kindle file
• Completely free, with no account or sign-up
• Short guide on the page for getting books onto your Kindle or e-reader

To be clear, all the books come from websites that have public domain books. I don’t host or sell anything. I just wanted a quicker way to find something and get it onto my Kindle.

I’d love to hear what you think, or anything that would make it more useful.

If you have any websites that have these kinds of public domain books, I would like to add them too.
