CoreNodeReader

CoreNode Reader is a modern e-book reader optimized for iPad but also running on iPhone, built for readers who want full control over their digital library.

The app brings together local books, Kavita servers and OPDS catalogs in one clean reading experience. Read EPUBs and PDFs, browse large libraries, filter by title or author, manage favorites, and keep your reading progress in sync across devices.

Highlights:

• One unified library Combine multiple sources into one library view. Local books, Kavita libraries and OPDS catalogs can be shown together or filtered separately, so your entire collection feels like one organized bookshelf.

• Direct Kavita integration Connect your own Kavita server and sync libraries, series, collections, favorites and reading progress.

• OPDS catalog support Add compatible OPDS catalogs and use them alongside your local and Kavita libraries.

• Local library Import EPUB and PDF files directly to your device or use any Cloud folder for your personal book library.

• Cross-device sync Synchronize reading progress, favorites, recently read books, bookmarks, notes, reader profiles and settings between devices. CoreNode Reader supports Apple ecosystem sync and also offers file-based sync for exchanging reading data between iOS, iPadOS and Android devices.

• EPUB and PDF reading Read books and magazines with table of contents, bookmarks, notes, metadata, search and a focused reading interface.

• Built for self-hosting CoreNode Reader is designed for people who want to manage their own books, catalogs and servers instead of being locked into a single store or platform.

• Flexible library views Switch between icon, list and compact views. Filter by title, author, source, file type, series, collections and metadata.

• Customizable reading experience Adjust font size, line height, margins, theme, layout and brightness to match your preferred reading style.

CoreNode Reader is optimized for iPad and also works on iPhone. It is ideal for EPUBs, PDFs, magazines, OPDS catalogs and self-hosted libraries in one unified app.
