Four themes, real AMOLED<br>Light, Sepia, Dark and a true-black one that turns the pixels off. Serif or sans, any size.<br>the dots up top change this page too

The EPUBs you already have<br>Open an EPUB from your files or your downloads folder. Chapters, images, table of contents and full-text search all work.

A streak, and nothing built on top of it<br>It counts the days you read and the time you spent. There is no leaderboard, no feed, and nobody else can see it. Just you and the number.

Why it stays quiet<br>BookSkim won&rsquo;t ask you for anything.<br>No sign-up screen. No ads. No notification asking where you went.<br>No accountNo email, no password, no profile. Install it and read.<br>No ads, everNot a banner, not an interstitial, not a sponsored recommendation.<br>No trackingNo analytics and no behavioural profiling. Nobody knows what you read, including us.<br>Offline by defaultRead on a plane, on the metro, with the SIM out. The app only reaches the internet when you tap a word or send a bug report.

Before you install<br>Questions.<br>What does Fast Skim actually do?It bolds the first few letters of every word, so your eye has a fixed point to land on instead of drifting back over the line. Nothing but the type changes. Turn it on or off per book, whenever you want.<br>Which files can I read?EPUB files you already have. Import one from your device and it lands in your library. There is no store to buy from and no DRM server to check in with.<br>Is it really free?Yes. No price, no ads, no subscription, and nothing locked behind a paid tier.<br>What happens offline?Everything except two things. Reading, highlights, bookmarks, themes and stats all work with the SIM out. Only the dictionary lookup and web search need a connection, and only when you tap them.<br>Where do my books and highlights live?On your phone. There is no account to make and nothing syncs anywhere. Uninstall the app and it all goes with it.

Free. Offline. Yours.<br>You already have the books. This opens them.<br>Get it on Google Play
