reading app

E-book viewing software

A reading app is software for consuming written content on phones, tablets, or computers.

Some reading apps provide access to ebooks and audiobooks—Kindle, Libby, Audible.

Others aggregate articles and web content for later reading: I saved the article to my reading app for the flight.

The term also covers apps that help children learn to read.
