A few useful answers before you get started.

Does it work with every novel website?
No. Website layouts and access rules vary. Open a public chapter link and review the extracted text. HearOn does not bypass paywalls, logins or verification checks.
Which files can I bring?
EPUB, TXT and text-based PDF files. Protected documents are not supported. Scanned PDFs need OCR before import.
Will my books sync between devices?
Your library is stored locally on your device. Account sign-in does not sync your books. Use library backup and restore to move a copy.
