KolaRead
Listen to EPUB books
Upload an EPUB and KolaRead reads the book to you chapter by chapter, with the book's own title and cover in your library. Each word lights up as it's read, and your place is kept, so you can listen to a few chapters at a time.
Start listening freeChapter by chapter
The book's chapters, in reading order, become the Contents. A chapter without a heading takes its name from the book's table of contents.
No footnote clutter
Footnote marks and the footnotes themselves are left out of the listening.
Whole books
Long books fit in one reading: up to about 1.5 million characters of text, around 250,000 words.
Natural voices
19 natural voices: ten in English (American and British) and others in Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Hindi. You can change the voice while you listen, and the speed up to 3×.
Questions
Can I listen to books I bought on Kindle or Apple Books?
Most store books are copy-protected (DRM), and KolaRead can't read those. EPUBs without DRM, like many public-domain and open-access books, work.
How big a book can I upload?
Up to 25 MB, which fits nearly every book; a copy with very large pictures may be bigger.
How much listening is free?
Every account gets 10 free hours of listening a month, no card needed. KolaRead Unlimited is $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year, with fair use up to 150 hours a month.
