ReadAny, published by readany, is an AI-powered ebook reader designed for intelligent reading, annotation, and knowledge management, currently available at version 1.3.6 with six versions released to date. The software falls into the ebook reader and reading utility category, serving readers, researchers, and students who want AI assistance integrated directly into their reading workflow. Its AI-driven reading features include an intelligent chat that can answer questions about book content with awareness of the reader's current position, selected text, and highlights; semantic search combining vector retrieval with BM25 hybrid search; and instant translation covering 19 languages via AI translation or DeepL. Users can choose among multiple AI providers, including OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Ollama, and DeepSeek, and take advantage of a skill system offering built-in abilities such as summary generation, concept explanation, and character tracking, alongside custom skill creation. Annotation and knowledge management tools provide five-color highlighting with hover note previews, a Markdown note editor with a WYSIWYG toolbar, and export to Markdown, HTML, JSON, Obsidian, and Notion formats. Text-to-speech functionality supports multiple engines—Edge TTS, browser TTS, and DashScope—with over 100 multilingual voices, adjustable playback speed, and background playback. Reading statistics include a GitHub-style reading heatmap, daily, weekly, and monthly trend charts, longest reading streak tracking, and per-book reading time and completion rate statistics. Cross-device synchronization is handled through WebDAV, with automatic background syncing and intelligent conflict resolution for concurrent edits. The reader supports EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW, AZW3, FB2, FBZ, and CBZ formats. Personalization options include five font themes optimized for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text, day and night modes, paged or continuous scrolling layouts, keyboard shortcuts, and a bilingual Chinese-English interface.
