Field notes
The page says readers add their own files, naming Humble Bundles, Kickstarter rewards, and DRM-free stores as examples; it explicitly says the app will not browse or download from websites. The developer describes iPhone and iPad support, while Android foldable work is positioned as a later step. A waitlist asks about visitors’ devices and reading habits, and the page says those answers will shape what gets built first.
