NOVEL / READ / LISTEN / LEARN
LIB read is a bilingual long-form reading platform for novels and web novels. Keep the source text visible beside a translation and continue across chapters instead of starting a new translation session every time.
Import TXT, EPUB, DOCX, or text-based PDF books into a private library, keep reading position and bookmarks, browse public works, use read-aloud, or generate an AI story for the time you have available.
PREMIUM
On Free, AI story generation, bilingual generation, and My Library imports share a total allowance of 3 uses per day. Premium raises AI stories to 10/day and bilingual generation to 30/day, with no daily count limit for word explanations or My Library imports.
WHY LIB READ
Keep long-form reading, bilingual text, listening, creation, and language support organized around the work you are reading.
Private My Library
Import your own TXT, EPUB, DOCX, or text-based PDF and keep a long book organized by chapter or reading unit so you can continue later.
Bilingual long-form reading
Keep the source and translation together, follow corresponding sentences, and check contextual word and expression explanations without replacing the original text.
Read-aloud and bookmarks
Use browser read-aloud, saved reading position, bookmarks, and reading settings while moving through a work.
AI stories and public works
Generate a story for a chosen reading time, or browse, read, publish, and narrate public works on the same platform.
