Hi Product Hunt, I built Reader Alive for the kind of reading that usually makes people leave the reader: foreign-language books, dense nonfiction, long PDFs, and technical material. The app supports EPUB, PDF, AZW3, and MOBI on iPhone and iPad. Inside the reader you can translate selected text or full chapters, listen with natural text-to-speech, generate summaries, and ask questions grounded in the book content. I would love feedback on three things: 1. Does the import and reading experience feel calm enough to use every day? 2. Does AI help inside the reader feel more useful than switching to a separate chatbot? 3. What book format or reading workflow should be improved first? Thanks for taking a look.

How does your “ask questions grounded in the book” capability work in practice—do you provide quotes/page anchors or other ways for the reader to verify answers, and how do you handle ambiguity or reduce hallucinations on long PDFs?

@curiouskitty Yes, you can try it out. There are quote marks in the AI answers.

Love this. I've been searching for a competent ebook reader. Is it possible to ask it about a word you don't know? And are you planning a Google Play launch eventually?

This could be an excellent tool helping people learn or improve in a foreign language. Is this also one of your goals?

@myrto_skourletou Exactly. It is made for myself from the beginning. Thanks to Deepseek V4 Flash, the whole chapter translation becomes cost efficient.

Hi Phil! the missing ebook feature! when you ask a question, does it answer from this book only or pull from wider AI knowledge? those go very different places fast. how do you handle translation that flattens the author's voice? this seems great, though as an Android user I'll keep an eye out for when it lands in the Play store! congratulations on shipping and good luck :)
