Stealth Reader

How the stealth reader works

Pick a local .txt file and the browser reads it straight into memory with FileReader, splits it into chapters by recognising chapter-heading lines, then renders the text inside a disguised layout — either a technical blog post page or an encyclopedia article page, complete with a nav bar, table of contents, comment section and sidebar recommendations, with the text laid out as ordinary paragraphs. The file stays on your device from start to finish: nothing is uploaded or stored on any server, and closing the page clears it.

• Chapter splitting keys off heading lines in the text, so cleanly formatted TXT files work best.
• Use the sidebar table of contents to jump between chapters instead of scrolling through a long novel.
• The page is just a normal web page — browser zoom, find-in-page and print all work as usual.

FAQ

1. What electronic book formats are supported by this local reader?

We parse EPUB formats entirely client-side. The reader parses TOC hierarchies, enabling custom font sizes, night modes, and automatic page index memorization.

2. Will clearing my cookies wipe out my imported library?

E-book files reside locally inside your browser IndexedDB partition. Executing full browser system sweeps or private mode shutdowns will delete local files. Keep original copies backed up.
