Free classics · no clutter
A cleaner ManyBooks alternative — read in your browser
Less to get through, more to read
A download library asks a lot before you read a word: pick a format, save the file, move it to the right app, dodge the ads on the way out. For a free classic, that’s a lot of friction.
goread cuts all of it. Search the title, tap the cover, read. The page is clean by principle — no ads, no upsells, no newsletter wall — and your place, bookmarks and theme follow you from phone to laptop.

Questions, answered
How is goread different from ManyBooks?
ManyBooks is a download library — you pick a format and save a file. goread is a reader: classics open straight in your browser, with no ads and no account, and you read them right there.
Are there ads?
None. goread doesn't run ads or sponsored placements. The reading page is just the text and your controls.
Do I have to choose a file format?
No formats, no downloads, no decisions. Tap a cover and start reading. If you want it offline, install goread to your home screen and it keeps working without a connection.
