What is BookShelves?
BookShelves is a modern eBook reader and library manager for macOS and iOS. It supports EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW, AZW3, KEPUB, and CBZ formats with a clean, distraction-free reading experience.
Your library syncs automatically across iPhone, iPad, and Mac using iCloud — no account required. BookShelves also includes a built-in catalog with over 100,000 free public domain books from Standard Ebooks and the Internet Archive.
Features include, customizable fonts and themes, multi-window support on macOS, Email to Kindle integration, and drag-and-drop import. BookShelves collects no data and has no tracking — everything stays on your devices and your personal iCloud.
BookShelves connects to your Calibre library three ways: folder import (reads metadata.db directly for authors, series, tags, and covers), Calibre wireless sync (same protocol KOReader uses), and OPDS client and server. It also supports continuous scroll mode, highlights with Markdown/JSON/CSV export, and vertical text rendering for Japanese and Chinese books.
