One shelf for every book you own, buy or write.
Aether Shelf is a reading shelf with an author press under the same roof. Everything a reader already owns sits in one place — the files on their laptop, the purchases spread across other stores, the free catalogue — and it keeps their place across a phone and a browser.
- Reads EPUB, PDF, Word documents and plain text
- Imports a store order list, or adds a purchase by hand with its cover and link
- A press for authors: pen name, terms, price, publish, author page
- An Android app and the browser, the same shelf in both
In testing. The first titles are free to claim, sign-in is a Freebuff account, and the Android build is sideloaded rather than sold through Play. Nothing is charged yet: the store runs against Stripe's test mode until the live keys go in. The Android download is a 241 KB test build (2.0.0, Android 7 or newer): Android will ask you to allow installs from this source. Its only permissions are internet and network access, notifications, and a foreground audio service for audiobooks — no storage, contacts or location.
