Read any EPUB file online, with a simple interface.
No registration is required: just upload a file and start reading.
We’ve profiled similar applications in the past.
BookWorm is a great personal online library, for example.
Heck, I can’t even think of a desktop eBook reader this nice.
Uploading Books
Head over toMagicScrollto get started.
If you want to find some free EPUBs, I highly recommend trying outProject Gutenburg.
Once you upload a book you’ll receive a permanent URL for your book.
Be sure to save this URL somewhere if you want to read your book on various devices.
Reading Books
Once you’ve uploaded a book it’s possible for you to start reading.
The site will process the book for quick reading, then you’ll see its cover.
Use the arrows keys to turn the page.
There’s a magic scrolling function built-in, which makes reading effortless.
nudge the “Play” button in the bottom-right corner to active this.
It’s oddly intuitive, and you could adjust the speed to your preference.
Myself, I prefer the good old arrow keys, but this is a really nice option to have.
If you don’t want to mess around with bookmark syncing, you could also try aURL shortener.
This will at least make your URLs a bit less cumbersome.
Web Store
Do you likeChrome’s new web store?
Why not install Magic Scroll as a Chrome App [No Longer Available]?
It’s free and gives you an attractive bookmark.
Conclusion
This is a web app done right.
I’ll be using this to do some at-work reading for sure.
