Kairo vs Superead

Kairo is a free Android app for reading DRM-free ebooks and documents in standard, adaptive RSVP, and Bionic Reading modes. The reader offers scrollable chapters, inline images, a table of contents, bookmarks, progress tracking, and a movable focus word. Adaptive RSVP aligns words with ORP and changes timing based on punctuation, word length, syllables, clauses, and readability. Bionic Reading emphasizes word beginnings while showing more sentence context. Reading profiles control pacing, typography, brightness, and focus, with six themes available. Focus mode provides a full-screen view and can optionally enable Android Do Not Disturb. Kairo 1.1 supports EPUB, MOBI, PRC, AZW, FB2, FB2.ZIP, DOCX, text-based PDF, TXT, Markdown, HTML, and HTM. Files must be DRM-free; scanned PDFs and OCR are unsupported. Imported content and reading data remain in private device storage.
