Polypage – EPUB, PDF & Comic Reader

EPUB and PDF reader for language learners, with paragraph translation, pop-up dictionary cards and true Japanese vertical text.

Read the books you already own in the language you're learning. Polypage is an EPUB and PDF reader that keeps a translation, a dictionary and a voice right beside the page, so you keep reading instead of jumping between tabs. WHO IT'S FOR • Learners reading novels, graded readers or manga in Japanese, Spanish, French or any other language. • Anyone who wants Japanese books shown the way they were printed: vertical, right to left, with furigana. READ WITHOUT STOPPING • Paragraph translation: show a translation under every paragraph, or only under the sentence you select. Machine translation works out of the box, and you can connect your own translation key for higher quality. • Dictionary cards: select a word and its entry opens in a small card over the book, with pronunciation. Ready-made recipes cover popular learner dictionaries, and any other site opens in a tab. • True vertical Japanese: tategaki with furigana, right-to-left page turns and two-page spreads. • Read-aloud: listen while the sentence being read is highlighted, with your browser's voices or your own cloud voice key. • Parallel reading: open the original and its translation side by side. • Quick start: answer two questions the first time you open it, and your translation language and a matching dictionary are set up for you. KEEP WHAT YOU LEARN • Highlights in four colours and three styles, notes, sticky notes and a notebook for each book. • Turn a favourite sentence into an image card to share. • Export highlights and notes as text, or bring in the highlights you made in other reading apps. YOUR BOOKS STAY YOURS • Opens the e-books and comics you already have, from your computer or your cloud storage. • Books are stored on your device and can be read offline. Optional sync carries only your reading position, highlights and notes. Every reading feature on this device is free, and will stay free. Only optional extras — sync between devices and watermark-free quote cards — will become paid later; during the beta, sync is free too. No ads, no tracking.
