## Description

**ArcReader** is an offline-first web novel, light novel, and EPUB reader for Android. Paste a supported novel link, download chapters, and read anywhere without an account or constant internet access. Customize your experience with light, dark, sepia, and AMOLED themes, adjustable fonts and spacing, paginated or scrolling layouts, highlights, notes, bookmarks, reading statistics, and progress tracking.

Turn novels into audiobooks with on-device text-to-speech, adjustable playback speeds, background listening, lock-screen controls, sleep timers, and automatic chapter advancement. ArcReader also supports long-passage translation, tap-to-define dictionary lookups, vocabulary saving, and a learning mini-game. Optional cloud sync, premium voices, unlimited downloads, and ad-free reading are available through ArcReader Pro. The app does not host content; users supply their own links or EPUB files.
