In their own words
Ledor
Ledor is a free, open-source reader for RSVP, EPUB files, and web articles, available on Android, iOS, Linux, and the web. It offers RSVP, text-to-speech narration, and a traditional e-reader mode. Readers can import EPUBs or save articles by URL; Android users can also share a page with the app. Text-to-speech uses system voices, provides lock-screen controls, and supports speeds from 0.5× to 3×. Appearance settings cover colors, fonts, sizes, and positions, with light and dark themes and a live preview.
Ledor works offline, storing books and progress on the device. Optional Google Drive sync can carry the library, progress, bookmarks, ratings, sessions, and display settings across devices. The privacy policy says the app collects no data and has no analytics, ads, tracking, accounts, or servers of its own. Weekly and monthly reading charts and a shareable monthly recap are calculated on the device. The MIT-licensed free plan includes all features, with no ads or account required.
Reedy
Reedy reads e-books, articles, text, and web pages in regular reading, speed-reading, and text-to-speech modes. Its RSVP speed reader presents text in sequence and supports speeds up to 3000 words per minute. Listed file formats include FB2, EPUB without DRM, KEPUB, TXT, and HTML, including books in ZIP archives. Reading tools include bookmarks, automatic tables of contents, text selection and sharing, orientation lock, adjustable text size, and light and dark themes. Reedy can extract the main content from web pages and accept pages shared from browsers, Pocket, Feedly, or Evernote. On Android, books can also be opened from Google Drive, Dropbox, and other apps or cloud services. The listed platforms are Android and a Chrome extension, though the terms identify Android as the current platform; some functions require an active internet connection. Reedy is freemium, provided at no cost, with ads and in-app purchases. Its privacy policy says it may request advertising ID and IP address and may collect error logs with device and app configuration details.
