ShortBook² for iPhone

Overview of ShortBook²

ShortBook² is a premium e-reader designed for iPhone and iPad users who want a more comfortable, visually appealing reading experience. The app emphasizes refined text layout and presentation, letting digital books look polished even without illustrations. Its goal is to make long reading sessions easier on the eyes and more enjoyable.

Visual layout and reader comfort

ShortBook² gives you detailed control over how text appears on the screen. You can adjust placement options and decorative typographic elements so pages feel balanced and attractive. By focusing on text makeup rather than relying on images, the app helps reduce visual fatigue and supports prolonged reading.

File support and conversion

The application fully supports the FB2 e-book format and includes straightforward tools for converting electronic books into a compatible layout. This makes it simple to bring a wide range of titles into the app without extensive file-handling work.

Customization and progress tracking

A broad set of settings and configurable parameters lets you tailor the reading environment to your preferences — typeface, spacing, margins, and more. In addition, ShortBook² records reading statistics and provides features to track your progress over time, so you can monitor habits and milestones.

Compatibility and fallback option

ShortBook² requires a modern iOS version and does not run on iOS 12 or earlier. If you are on an older device, the classic ShortBook application remains available as an alternative.

Subscription features and editorial content

Access to ShortBook² is provided via subscription. Subscribers receive extras, including the Short Review section — curated insights about the e-book market and handpicked recommendations to help you discover new reads.
