Leporello.

Your books, unfolded.

Leporello is a calm reader for your own DRM-free books. Unfold your phone and it becomes a two-page spread, pages turn like paper, and the book remembers where you left off.

Fanfold for news, Leporello for books.

A book, not a screen.

01

Shelf

Your books stand on a shelf, spine out. One tap and you pick up where you stopped.

02

Two-page spread

Unfolded, a spread like a printed book; folded, a single page. Turn pages like paper instead of swiping.

03

Read aloud

When your eyes are tired, Leporello reads to you. The page turns along, your place is kept.

Honest about formats.

  • EPUBYesFirst. Open from your files or share straight from the browser.
  • PDFLaterComes next, as its own reader with fixed pages.
  • MOBINoAmazon has retired it. Calibre converts MOBI to EPUB in seconds.
  • Kindle & DRMNoNo third-party app can open protected books, so I won't promise it.

Where the books come from

Your own files, DRM-free publishers, and the free classics from Standard Ebooks and Project Gutenberg, searchable right in the app.
