How reading works

Tap to understand

Every word in the book is ready for you. No copying into a dictionary, no losing your place.

AI is always labelled. The free books use AI for their writing, adaptation or illustrations, and are marked AI. Sentence explanations and AI stories use AI too; they are off until you turn them on.
