Before you get started

Are books included?

Readive is a reader for files you import. It does not provide books. Fill your library with books, documents and audio files you own or have permission to use.

Do I need to sign up or use BookManager?

You can import files from your device without creating a Readive account. NAS and cloud connections may require an account with the storage provider. BookManager integration is optional and lets you access your desktop library.

Can I read and listen offline?

Books and audiobooks imported or downloaded to your device are available offline. Browsing and downloading from remote storage, and syncing reading data, require a network connection. With Premium, you can generate Supertonic speech on your device after downloading a voice model.

Are book files automatically copied to my other devices?

Cloud sync shares library information and reading data. Import the original book files separately on each device. Sync works between iPhone and iPad devices using the same account, or between Android devices using the same account.
