ContinuousReader is a cross-device reader built around keeping a user's place consistent across Apple devices. Reading position, bookmarks, notes, and library details sync through iCloud, while book files can sync through iCloud Drive. The app opens a broad range of formats, including EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3, Markdown, HTML, text, and comics archives, with some document formats available on Mac. Readers can choose continuous scrolling, paged view, or two-page spreads, adjust fonts and themes, and use read-aloud or on-device translation. It also supports folders, tags, annotated bookmarks, reading reports, and OPDS catalogs. The App Store listing shows a $19.99 one-time purchase with universal access across Mac, iPad, and iPhone. It reads files users provide rather than selling books.
