E-reader software and the cloud library behind it
Every book you own, on every screen you read with.
Upload a book once. Midad keeps it in your library and puts it on your phone, your laptop and your e-ink reader - each one opening on the page you stopped at, without you going to look for it.
Built for Arabic and English alike, with the typography, right-to-left layout and search that Arabic actually needs.

No backlight, no notifications. Your library arrives over the air.
your shelf
A library, not a folder of files
Collections in the order a series should be read. Browse by author, by language or by format. Share a book with someone else on the library, and see what you have actually finished.
typography
Arabic treated as a first language
Real Arabic typefaces, converted to the device format and delivered over the air. Right-to-left layout throughout, and a search that knows القران and القرآن are the same word.
the habit
Time read, counted everywhere
Minutes on the phone and minutes on the reader are the same minutes. Set a target for the year and watch it move, wherever the reading actually happened.
