Always have something to read. MegaReader gives you access to over 1.8 million free eBooks -- that's right, almost 2 million free books! Build your own personal library from both the classics and free modern indie books for easy reading on the go.

And now MegaReader is the world's first eBook reader with a Heads Up Display (HUD) option! It is like reading a book printed on glass. See through a book, while you read through a book. (Available on devices with cameras running iOS 4.0 or greater.)

★★★★★ "If there's an app that offers more e-book bang for the buck, I haven't found it." - CNET Reviews

MEGA BOOKS

We've trekked the virtual globe to bring you the best online free books available and have presented them in a super-customizable reader for your reading pleasure. For less than a cappuccino at your local café, you can now create your very own personal library to take anywhere!

Sit down and catch up on all the classics like Sherlock Holmes, Pride and Prejudice, and War and Peace. Discover hot new indie authors and publishers. Or if science fiction and fantasy is more your thing, explore the renowned Baen Free Books catalog.

It's easy to find great books and authors. Browse by category (e.g. mystery, action & adventure, romance, science fiction), view popular or recently added books, see recommended reading lists, read reviews, search for something specific or read book samples and entire works from up and coming authors.

Read on the bus to work, sneak in a few chapters while you are waiting for lunch, or take time out on a coffee break. Never be caught without a book again.

DRM-free eBooks can be imported over Wi-Fi using the free Calibre eBook management software. (Note, modern books that are under copyright protection like The Hobbit and The Girl Who Played With Fire aren't included in the app.)

MEGA EASY TO USE

MegaReader comes with 26 great books already downloaded to get you started, including works from Jane Austen, Dale Carnegie, Agatha Christie, Paulo Coelho, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jack London, and Kurt Vonnegut.

Personalize the look of your book from one of the 19 predefined color schemes or create your own from 1000s of colors. Choose from 31 fonts, 100s of font sizes, margin width, line spacing, and text justification.

MegaReader remembers your place in a book, allows you to read in portrait or landscape mode, and will tell you how long you have to finish a chapter based on the built-in speed reading test.

Search, discover, and download books from six great online catalogs, or import your own books over Wi-Fi. Then enjoy your downloaded books anytime, anywhere. No network connection required.

  • LOL!!! If I die using this product then I will die gloriously.  I love this. Thank you for thinking of this kick ass app! Great commercial. Those handsome gentlemen in the commercial had sex appeal. hotness.

  • Yeah showering with your phone is a good idea, also when driving you would still have to focus on the text and subsequently die horribly in a car crash.

    By the way, they are reading Sun Tzu's Art Of War incase anyone was wondering. :)
