Features & Capabilities

ShortBook² reimagines reading on small screens by prioritizing text layout and visual rhythm. It lets you control nearly every placement option and adds decorative elements to create atmosphere, making even picture-free books feel engaging and comfortable for long reading sessions.

The app supports FB2 files (contents, footnotes, and figures), offers a rich set of customizable settings, a multi-criteria book index, one-tap resume, and detailed reading statistics. It operates via a subscription with auto-renewal and includes access to Short Review materials. Note: the latest technologies are required for use; older devices can opt for the classic ShortBook variant.

Its bot great to discover that the book reading app is stuck on “verify subscription” page when you go camping w/o cell reception and actually want to read the books. Its recovers when you get to the place with reception tbh but its not always possible when you going for a week deep in the woods. Is it possible to make app remember active subscription w/o network access?

Скачал. Про.....хался с установкой. Ни одного намёка на нормальную работу, вплоть до того, что после "открыть" пропадает курсор мыши. И тачпада кстати. От предыдущего комментатора узнал, что "по подписке". Под лозунгом "пред родиной в вечном долгу"? Жаль. На всякий случай сообщаю: "Я не подписывался"

Since original Short Book is not working properly on newer hardware, I like the fact that ShortBook2 was released and I have no problem subscribing to the app opposite to one time purchase. So what is good so far: Until iOS 14, fit was possible with help of other apps to get book into the reader and read it. One star for that And one star for making an effort and releasing new app. Thank you. What is wrong so far. 1. No response from author to email sent to the address listed on support page. Not even acknowledging. 2. iCloud sync still broken. My SB2 show four times larger data size than Original SB on iPad 3. Unable to load directly from web page, iOS adds .txt and ShortBook crash. Worked for years and still working on original SB To load I have to download file, remove .txt and then add it. Still not fixed. (Maybe allow file.fb2.txt to be loaded as file.fb2) 4. When you read a book, and reopen application, you always end up 3-6 pages prior to where you stop reading 5. After iOS 14 (may be coincidence) after reopening, I end up with black screen and then app crashes. After 1st app reinstall it worked for few days, now even reinstall does not help. Can’t tell if it bad book, or bad app. Same book works fine on my older iPad with original ShortBook.
