The Aurora Hours

The northern sky unfurled in slow ribbons of green and violet, and for a while she forgot the cold entirely.

She turned the page the way one turns a thought over — gently, unhurried, letting the light do its quiet work above the pines.

Somewhere far below, a single lamp glowed in a cabin window, the only warm thing for miles.

Everything a reader needs

One quiet app for your whole library

From late-night novels to dense PDFs, Aurora Reader handles your books with care — and a few thoughtful touches you won't find elsewhere.

Six formats, one shelf

EPUB, PDF, FB2, MOBI, AZW3 and TXT — import from your device or open straight from any app. Duplicate files are detected automatically so your library stays tidy.

Ten reading themes

Warm White, Sepia, Parchment, Mint, Dusk and a true-black AMOLED theme. Pair them with a blue-light filter and brightness slider for any hour.

Typography you control

Seven fonts including OpenDyslexic, plus font size, line spacing, margins and alignment. Upload your own fonts with Premium.

Highlights & notes

Ten highlight colours, bookmarks with previews, and free-form notes you can tag and search — your thinking, kept beside the text.

Look up & translate

Tap any word for an instant dictionary definition, or translate passages on the fly — no leaving the page.

Reads the way you hold it

Customisable tap zones, page-curl or scroll modes, and optional volume-key page turns for one-handed, eyes-on-the-page reading.

Listen with text-to-speech Premium

Let Aurora Reader read aloud with adjustable speed and pitch. Playback continues in the background with media controls.

Statistics & streaks Premium

Reading time, pages, goals, streaks and a yearly Year-in-Review — gentle motivation to keep the habit.

Sync via your Google Drive Premium

Keep progress, bookmarks, highlights and settings in sync across devices — stored privately in your own Drive, not our servers.

Set the mood
