Readkave

An ebook reader that lives in Chrome.

Open EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, FB2 or CBZ files and read them like a book — real pages, search, bookmarks, highlights, dark mode and read aloud. Free, no account, nothing uploaded.

Add to Chrome How it works

Works in Chrome, Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers, and on Chromebooks.

Pages that turn

One page at a time, no skipped chapters, no flicker. Or scroll mode, if that is how you read.

Search the whole book

Every match, grouped by chapter, in seconds — even for a thousand-page novel.

Highlights and notes

Four colours, notes on any passage, bookmarks, and a plain-text export of all of it.

Dark mode that works

Light, sepia and dark themes that override a book's own colours instead of fighting them.

Read aloud

Your browser's voices, from any sentence, with the text highlighted as it is read.

Words explained

Select a word for a definition (Wiktionary) or a translation (Chrome's built-in translator).

Three ways to open a book

• Drop it in. Click the Readkave icon, then drop a file into the library (or use Add books).
• Double-click .epub files. Turn on "Open ebook files in Readkave" once; downloaded and opened books go straight to the reader.
• Right-click a link. On any website, right-click an ebook link and choose "Open in Readkave".

Privacy

• Books, highlights and reading positions are stored only in your browser.
• No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking.
• The internet is used only when you ask: opening a link, looking up a word, translating. Full privacy policy.
