A reader-facing experience, not a technical format lecture
The Online Reader is how people experience your content in the browser. Behind the scenes, Author Studio prepares the reading content from your book tools.
Browser-based reading
Readers can open supported content directly in their browser.
Sections and chapters
Structured reading with clear navigation through the content.
Progress and resume
Logged-in readers can pick up where they left off where progress is supported.
Reading preferences
Theme and font preferences help readers settle into a comfortable reading view.
Samples, Free Reads and ARC
The same reading experience supports the reader offers you configure around a book.
Access-controlled reading
ARC and restricted content can use access controls and watermarking where relevant — without claiming secure DRM.
See the reader-facing result
A public free-read example shows how readers can open content in the browser. Clara Rowe does not currently have a public Free Read, so this capture uses another live Author Studio example.
Online reading
Readers can start reading without downloading a file first.
