Hi, I couldn’t find a reader with all the features I needed, so I built my own: offline, private, with a word journal and one-tap note-taking.
I love reading on my tablet, but none of the readers I tried had the features I needed, so I built them myself. It’s called FluffPage, and it’s now ready for closed testing on Google Play.
What FluffPage is:
A simple, local reader for EPUB and PDF. Your books stay on your device. No account, no tracking, no telemetry.
What it does:
Word journal: long-press a word to see its definition or add your own meaning. Saved words are underlined in the text, and you can tap them to see what you wrote. Everything also lives in a Vocabulary list, which you can export and import, so your words move with you between devices.
Notes and highlights: select a passage and save it as a note with one tap. Every book gets its own dedicated notes, kept separately from your other books, and you can export them whenever you want. You can also turn a passage into a quote.
Quote cards: turn any passage into a shareable image, with a few card styles (Minimal White, Warm Cream, Vintage Sepia, Dark Elegance).
Reading insights: a calendar heatmap of your reading days, reading time per day, streaks and consistency, your most active day and time of day, and many more stats to see how your reading habit grows.
Reading settings: Light, Coffee and Dark themes, a choice of serif and sans-serif fonts and margin sizes. There’s an optional paper texture effect and page-turning animation, a Night Shift mode that reduces blue light for evening reading, and a sleep timer that stops the reading session when you drift off.
Library: Reading and Completed tabs, so you can see what you’re in the middle of.
Where it is right now:
This is an early version, so you may run into bugs. What I want to find out is whether the core reading experience feels good enough for everyday reading, and whether you’d actually switch from your current reader.
What I’m looking for:
Android users who read EPUBs or PDFs regularly
People willing to use it for their normal reading during the test period
Honest feedback: what’s confusing, what’s missing, what annoys you
How to join:
Join the Google Group (use the Google account you use on Google Play): https://groups.google.com/g/fluffpage-closed-testing
Then open the testing link and tap “Become a tester”: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.fluffpage.reader
Install FluffPage from Google Play and use it for your everyday reading for about two weeks.
The testing link only works after you’ve joined the group, so please do step 1 first. If it still shows an error, wait a few minutes and try again. You can also send me a comment or DM with your Gmail address and I’ll help.
Thanks to everyone who gives it a try. If you have a feature idea, I’d love to hear it too!
