The reader for people who love to read.
A free, beautiful reader for EPUB and PDF. Your library, your highlights, your notes.
Why MichPub
The essentials, made different.
-
Beautiful by default
Three reading themes and a calm, uncluttered layout that feels as good as the books in it.
-
EPUB and PDF, both done right
One real reader for both, with the same highlights, search, and export across each.
-
Yours, and nobody else’s
No account to create, no sign-up, no ads. Just open it and read.
Built for the way you read.
Highlights, notes, search, and more.
Your library, built in seconds
Drop in files or whole folders. Covers, authors, series, and tags are read automatically, and duplicates are caught for you.
Find any book in an instant
Search, sort, and filter by title, author, series, tag, or format, each with live counts. Build your own collections.
PDFs, done right
A real, selectable text layer with full-text search and smart zoom, remembered for every book.
Everything while reading
Bookmarks, footnotes in place, an image lightbox, in-book search, and translation into 25 languages.
Paper, Sepia, or Night.
Drag to see your library in another light.
Most readers treat looks as an afterthought. MichPub does not. It gets out of the way and still looks like it was made with care, so long reading sessions feel like a pleasure instead of a chore. Designed like something you’d want to spend hours in.
Questions & answers
Everything else, answered.
Is MichPub really free? What’s the catch?
No catch. No ads, no subscription, no account. It’s simply free.
Does it work offline?
Yes. MichPub does not need an internet connection to manage your library or read. Translation is the one feature that reaches out online, and only when you use it.
What formats does it support?
EPUB and PDF. Both get highlights, bookmarks, in-book search, a table of contents, translation, and Markdown export.
Does MichPub support DRM-protected books?
No. MichPub is a reader for the books you already own. It does not remove or apply DRM.
Will my highlights survive if I move or replace a book file?
Yes. Your highlights, bookmarks, and progress stay with the book, so they survive moving or replacing the file, and MichPub helps you find it again if it goes missing.
Can I sync my books between devices?
Not yet, but it’s on our roadmap. Stay tuned.
Is there a mobile or Linux version?
Today MichPub runs on macOS and Windows. More platforms are on our roadmap, so stay tuned.
