Areada

Areada is an Android e-book reader that opens files stored on the device. It handles four formats: EPUB and FB2 for reflowable text, PDF for fixed-page documents, and plain TXT. Books are read from local storage, so the application is meant for a library the reader already has on hand rather than a catalogue browsed and downloaded in-app.

The stated design goal is a small application that works offline. There is no account to create and no sync service in the described scope, which keeps the reader usable without a connection but also means reading position and library organisation stay on the one device unless files are moved manually.

Areada is published by iTsMe-Zen under the Apache-2.0 licence and is available for Android only, with no desktop or iOS counterpart in this listing. Readers who need annotation export, cloud libraries, or formats beyond the four listed will need to check whether the application covers those cases before committing a collection to it.
