eBook reader app where selected text automatically gets translated to selected language

I'm looking for an app that allows me to read ebooks (basically ebook) files that basically allows me to do the following:

  1. Select text and have it directly be translated by pop-up in the default translation app. No need to select option in the context-menu/press other button
  2. Set a fixed language to translate FROM instead of relying on the automatic determination. E.g. set Cantonese or Japanese as "from" language so it doesn't see it as Mandarin Chinese instead

On Android I have succesfully used LibreraReader for this, but on iOS I haven't found anything smilar. Closest I found was FBreader, but it still needs you to find translation option in the context menu.

Does anyone know if there is an iOS app that allows this?

A Few Quotes from the Book 'Polylogical Thinking'

u/Todd_Dell — 21 hours ago

For those who read on their phone... What app do you use? What makes the experience superior to others? I'm looking for genuine feedback on a reading platform I built.

I built a social reading platform that maps your subconscious reading preferences against the elements within books to match you with the perfect books over and over again.

We recently just onboarded our first author. In theory our recommendation algorithm should completely unlock and personalize discoverability for the publishing industry...

But the elephant in the room is that our ability to serve you the perfect book hinges on having a large enough library. BUT, if we only have 1 author that capability breaks down. And if we can't ACTUALLY serve readers books they'll love, they won't show up. And if we cant prove that we can get authors readers, then we won't attract more authors and we won't be able to grow the library.

So, I'm wondering if anyone would be wiling to try out the platform and give me honest feedback to help me make the reading/user experience more enjoyable. Is there anything other apps do much better? Any absolute deal breakers or must haves for you? I'd be grateful for anyone willing to give it a shot.

A few disclaimers for anyone who's curious:

  1. We're currently web only so you do need to be on wifi/data.
  2. We can't offer free E-books for a few reasons: A. Authors maintain all their rights so we don't have the liberty to make that decision for them. B. In order to raise capital Typesheet needs to show revenue. C. There are operating costs to maintain the servers etc. D. Showing that authors can make real money will be a huge help in attracting more.
    - However, we're giving verification badges to the first batch of users. This can help you build a voice of influence if you care about that sort of thing.

Website is Typesheet.ink
I'm currently reading All I See is Mud

I built a reading app that improves reading speed and comprehension - I would love some honest feedback!

I've been building an iOS reading app called Morph Books and wanted to get honest feedback.

The core idea: ebooks and audiobooks have been separate products for decades, but reading along while you listen is one of the best ways to improve both reading speed and comprehension. Your eyes don't drift, you process the words two ways at once, and you can go faster without losing the thread.

So I merged them into one thing.

Load any EPUB, PDF, or web article, and Morph generates a real voice on-device and highlights each word as it's spoken.

Additionally I've just added collection of classics directly on the app so you don't even have to import anything. (still adding to this, if you have any classics that are not their let me know and ill add it within 24 hrs).

You can:

- Read silently, like a normal ebook

- Listen only, like an audiobook

- Or do both at the same time.

You can switch between modes mid-sentence without losing your place. Tap any word to start playing from there. Crank the speed to 2x or 3x and while your eyes track along, that's where the comprehension/speed gains come from. It's a different feeling than either format alone.

A few other things baked in:

My own customised local neural voices that works fully offline — no cloud TTS bill, no latency (these sound way better then apples tts)

An AI chat that has the book's context so you can ask what a passage means, summarize a chapter or define a word with context.

Highlights, reading stats, streaks (currently super light, plan on making reading feel much more gamified, open to suggestions)

Really proud of how far I've come so far, this is by far the best app on the app store for this (I've tried many). But its still super early, so feel free to be brutally honest about your thoughts.

Vk shutdown

I used vk for the e-book groups and now I don't have access. Probably something to do with the war. I'm looking for substitutes, suggestions of other network. I find telegram hard to use, maybe I'm doing it wrong. Anyone in the same situation?

Also, Kindle unlimited doesn't work in my country.

5 short philosophical reads on awareness and identity ($0.99 / KU)

I wrote a short series called Echoes of the Void five ebooks that explore awareness, identity, and the inner patterns people go through.

They’re not traditional self-help or plot-heavy novels. More like quiet, introspective reads that follow an inner journey from conflict, observation, letting go.

All five books are short reads, priced at $0.99 each, and also available on Kindle Unlimited.

If you’re into reflective or philosophical writing, you might find something interesting in them.

Rant(ish) about ebook availability issues

So, I live in the Netherlands for reference. I am a new Kobo user and I like sci-fi books.

So, I thought, let's get digital and take a kobo on holiday with some nice sci-fi books on it. Lui Cixin. James Corey, Philip k Dick, Douglas Adams.....

Well ... That ain't happening. The library does not have anything in English/scifi. The online availability in storytell, bol.com, and other assorted sellers seems very limited. They will sell you a paperback trilogy no problem. But I want ebooks.

Why is this so difficult, the chances are it is me, so is there a better way to obtain the desired ebooks?

The place to download English ebooks?

Hello!

Please share some links where I can download ebooks in English.

Mainly, I downloaded them on VK.

But currently, many of them are deleted.

I'm not against paying but it's just impossible sometimes because of the sanctions.

I'm interested in English contemporary literature (fiction / non-fiction).

Thanks!
