The English learning reader built for e-ink

SentiaRead runs on Android e-ink devices such as Onyx Boox — with a high-contrast black-and-white interface, physical page-turn button support, and refresh-friendly rendering. Look up any word in its sentence, save it to your word list, and everything syncs to your phone and computer. Read on a paper-like screen; review anywhere.

Available on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows, E-Ink, and Chrome.

Read crisp pages in pure black and white

A high-contrast theme designed for e-ink from the start: no low-contrast grays, no animation-heavy transitions that smear on slow refresh. Just sharp text on a paper-like page.

Turn pages with real buttons, not screen taps

Flip pages with your device's physical buttons or volume keys, the way an e-reader should feel. Tap targets are sized for slower screens, so nothing depends on precise gestures.

Save on e-ink, meet it again on your phone

A word you save on your reader on Saturday is highlighted in Monday's article on your phone. Progress, highlights, and your word list stay in sync across e-ink, mobile, and desktop.

Different from a stock e-reader

Explanations at your level

Not a dictionary dump — AI explains the word as used in this sentence, matched to your CEFR level.

Words follow you

Saved words stay highlighted in future reading on every device you use, not trapped on one gadget.

Your own content

EPUB, PDF, and web articles in one library — not a locked store.
