What you can do

Import local PDF, EPUB, Markdown, MOBI, AZW3 and TXT files, read them in one Windows library, keep reading positions and collect highlights. The core reading path works without creating a ZephRead account.

Who it suits

Choose Zeph Read when you want one calm app for mixed personal files and prefer local reading by default. Choose a library manager such as calibre when conversion, metadata editing or device transfer is the main job.

Limits to know

Zeph Read is a reader, not a full PDF editor or ebook converter. Optional cross-device sync requires an account. ZephRead does not provide or authorize DRM circumvention, so protected retailer files may not open.
