📖 HISTORY READING
Historical novels about Russia and historical adventures, books about military leaders and tsars, chronicles of great wars, and family sagas set against the backdrop of the era. Read in order—from the pharaohs to the 20th century—or open at random: fiction is more engaging than a textbook.

🎧 READING ALOUDS
Large historical epics are easy to listen to: the app will read the book using Android's speech synthesis. Speed, sleep timer, control from the lock screen, and paragraph highlighting are available.

⚙️ READER FOR LARGE BOOKS
• The app remembers your reading position in a multi-volume work down to the last word.
• Pages with page turning animation or autoscroll.
• Book-like fonts, spacing, and syllable breaks.
• Day, sepia, and night themes, blue light filter.
• Scroll with volume buttons and "Keep screen on" buttons.
• Backup – your books and settings won't be lost when you change smartphones.

✍️ NOTES AND QUOTES
Highlight a passage and save it as a quote, note, or bookmark: easily mark dates, names, and events. Quotes are searchable by text and converted into a shareable image. For obsolete words, a dictionary and translation are available.
