About us

The story of Readino begins long before the shop itself. Nearly twenty years ago, a small team of developers created FBReader, a reading app that quickly found its way onto millions of devices worldwide. Known for its flexibility and simplicity, FBReader has become a trusted companion for readers who want to enjoy books anywhere. That same team—working today as FBReader.ORG Limited—continues to improve the app and remains an active member of EDRLab, helping to shape the open standards for digital publishing.

Out of this long journey came a new idea: to create a bookshop that shares the same spirit of openness and care for readers. That is how Readino, run by FBReader Books Limited in the UK, was launched in October 2025.

We strongly believe in openness. For readers, we explain our approach in detail on a dedicated page. For developers, Readino is designed to be open to integration with third-party apps, encouraging collaboration and innovation across the digital reading world.

Although still young, Readino already gives you access to over 1.5 million titles, delivered in ePub format with LCP protection—so your books are both secure and truly yours to enjoy.

And this is only the beginning. We plan to add PDFs, reach readers in more European countries and beyond, and grow our catalogue so you’ll always find something new to read.
