Short answers about importing books, reading comfortably, and how the AI features work.
Getting started
Add your first book
Upload a file, paste text, import a web page or pick a free classic from Project Gutenberg, then open it in the reader.
Pre-reading guides
A pre-reading guide orients you before you start: themes, key terms and context, at the depth you choose.
Explain a passage
Select a hard passage and ask AI what it means. It reads the text just before your selection for context.
Your books
Import formats and size limits
Which file types you can upload, how large each file can be on each plan, and why a file might be turned away.
Library limits
How many books each plan holds at once, what counts towards the limit, and what happens to books over it.
Export your data
Download everything you have made in Read Master as a ZIP file, including notes for Obsidian and flashcards for Anki.
Delete a book or your account
What deleting a book removes and when, and how account deletion works, including the 30 days you have to change your mind.
Reading
Keyboard shortcuts
The keys that open reader panels and the command palette, and how to turn single-key shortcuts off.
Using a screen reader
How Read Master is built for screen readers and keyboard users, and what we have not tested yet.
Dyslexia-friendly fonts and text size
Switch to OpenDyslexic or Atkinson Hyperlegible, and adjust text size, line spacing, column width and contrast.
Arabic and right-to-left reading
Use Read Master in Arabic, choose the language AI writes in, and how right-to-left layout works.
AI and privacy
AI limits per plan
How many pre-reading guides and explanations each plan includes each month, and when the allowance resets.
Turning AI off
Switch off every AI feature with one setting. While it is off, nothing is sent to an AI model.
What we send to Claude
Which parts of your books go to Anthropic's Claude model, when, and how long each side keeps them.
