## Description
Tarn is a simple, quiet ebook reader. Open a book, pick up where you left off, and nothing gets in the way.
READS WHAT YOU HAVE
• EPUB, PDF and CBZ comics
• FB2, MOBI, AZW3, TXT, RTF and HTML, converted to EPUB once on import
• Import files or whole folders, open books from other apps, or link a folder on the device, an SD card or a USB drive and read in place
MADE FOR READING
• Five themes – Paper, Sepia, Sage, Dusk and Night – that follow light and dark mode
• Fonts, size, line spacing, margins, justification and hyphenation; paged or scrolling
• Two-page spreads on tablets in landscape
• Dim the screen below the system minimum for reading in bed
• Footnotes open in a popup, and a Back button takes you home after any link
• Real page numbers when the book has them, and time left in the chapter
UNDERSTAND AND REMEMBER
• Long-press a word for the offline English dictionary: pronunciation, meanings, examples, synonyms
• Every word you look up is saved, with flashcards to review them and export for Anki
• Highlights in four colors, notes, and bookmarks that land on the exact words
• Search the whole book, ignoring case and accents
LISTEN
