Browser reader for PDFs and EPUBs with local offline storage
ReadHere is a browser-based reader for PDF and EPUB files. It lets you add books, read them online or offline, highlight passages, take notes, and keep a journal for each book without creating an account.
The product stores books and reading data locally in your browser on the device you use. A future Plus tier is planned to add cloud sync and backup to your own Google Drive, but that capability is described as coming soon rather than available today.
Everything you need to read and annotate in the browser
Local library storage
Add a book once and it saves in your browser so you can open it again without re-uploading.
Offline reading
Open a book once, then keep reading and annotating offline on the same device.
Highlights, notes, and journals
Mark passages with four highlight colors, attach notes, and keep a private journal for each book.
Reading appearance controls
Choose Light, Sepia, or OLED dark themes and switch between Literata, Lora, and Inter reading fonts.
Navigation and search
Jump through a book with smooth page turns, a scrubber, and searchable content across the whole book.
Common ways people can use ReadHere
Personal reading library
Upload PDFs and EPUBs into one browser-based library when you want to keep reading materials in a single place.
Annotating books and articles
Use highlights, notes, and a per-book journal to keep track of passages you want to revisit later.
Offline reading on one device
Open a book once, then continue reading on a plane, commute, or other low-connectivity setting.
Adjusting reading appearance
Switch between Light, Sepia, and OLED themes, and pick a reading font that is comfortable for long sessions.
Future cross-device library sync
Wait for the planned Plus tier if you want Drive-backed sync across devices instead of browser-only storage.

FAQ
Do I need an account?
No. You can add a PDF or EPUB and start reading without signing in. The books you add are stored in your browser on that device.
Where are my books stored?
For now, your books are stored locally in the browser on your device. The product says a future Plus plan will back them up to your own Google Drive in a visible ReadHere folder.
What is the difference between Free and Plus?
Free includes the reader on one device with unlimited books, offline access, highlights, notes, a reading journal, themes, and curated reading fonts. Plus is not yet available and will add cloud sync and backup.
Can I really read offline?
Yes. Once a book has been opened, it caches on your device and can be read without a connection.
When will Plus be available?
Plus is in development. The site says to join the waitlist to get an email when cloud sync and backup are ready, with early access for sign-ups.
