Most reading apps either lock you to their bookstore or treat your library like a Dropbox folder. Folio treats every novel yours, the web's, or one you're translating as a real book. Quiet covers. Real chapters. A reader that knows where you are. No streaks. No "engagement" pressure. No ads inside the page. Just the book, and you. Folio respects your library. Your uploads stay on your device unless you choose to share them. No analytics inside chapters, ever.
