Fireside, the paper-feeling ebook reader
An ebook reader for iOS and Android that reshapes text into natural phrases and can guide reading one phrase at a time.
Field notes
The reader accepts several ebook and comic-archive formats, then lets people tune font, size, spacing, theme, and paper treatment. Its distinctive layout changes line breaks without changing the words, while Guided Reading advances through phrases and holds longer on slower-to-read passages. The page shows accessibility support including OpenDyslexic, Atkinson Hyperlegible, larger text, reduced motion, and VoiceOver. It cites external phrase-layout studies while explicitly separating those findings from evidence about Fireside itself.
