Why Readino is Different
At Readino, we believe books should belong to you. That simple idea shapes everything we do.
Built on Openness
Many ebook stores try to lock readers into a single app or device. Readino takes the opposite approach. Our store is built on open standards, which means you can read your ebooks with a wide choice of apps and devices. Whether you prefer a dedicated e-reader, a tablet, or a reading app on your phone, the choice is yours.
Your Books Stay Yours
When you buy a book at Readino, it’s yours to keep. We don’t tie your purchase to one app or one company’s ecosystem. Instead, your ebooks come in the open EPUB format, protected with LCP.
That means you can:
- Save and back up your files.
- Sideload them to any compatible e-reader or app.
- Keep reading even if you change devices or apps in the future.
And here’s the most important part: even if Readino were one day to disappear (though we certainly plan to be here for the long haul!), your books won’t vanish with us. They will remain readable through many other apps and devices that support EPUB with LCP.
Offline, Too
Some platforms only let you read while connected to the internet. With Readino, once your ebook is downloaded, it’s yours to enjoy anywhere — on the train, on a plane, on holiday, or simply in a quiet spot without Wi-Fi. Your library travels with you.
Why That Matters
Openness means freedom. You won’t be forced into upgrades, devices, or apps you don’t want. You won’t lose your library if a company changes direction.
At Readino, we see our role as connecting readers with books, not locking readers into systems. That’s what makes us different, and why we’re proud to say: your books are truly yours.
