shelves
30-Shelf 3D Bookcase
Organize your collection across up to 30 custom shelves with brass nameplates, drag-and-drop book sorting, full-text library search, and full backup export/import tools.
For novels and study material
Use EPUB or text-heavy PDFs with reflow, adjustable typography, bookmarks and highlights when the source supports text extraction.
For comics and manga
Use CBZ, CBR or image-based files with page navigation, vertical reading and right-to-left controls for manga-style layouts.
For a personal library
Keep books on shelves, continue from saved progress, and export a library backup instead of re-importing every file after a browser session.

A comfortable ebook reading experience

Private by design
A browser-based digital library with local storage
The core library uses browser storage such as IndexedDB for books, shelves, reading progress and bookmarks. That makes the reader useful for people who want a private local ebook workflow without creating an account for everyday reading. Optional library sharing is a separate action and should only be used when you choose to create a share link.
Choose the right reading mode
EPUB, PDF, Kindle and manga reading in one place
Use reflow when you are reading a text-heavy ebook and want the text to adapt to your screen. Use the flipbook when you prefer a page-turning presentation on desktop. Use vertical or right-to-left image reading when the file is a comic, manga or manhwa. The goal is simple: open the supported book you already have and choose a reading view that makes sense for it.

Knowledge Base
Frequently Asked Questions
Common queries and quick help guides
Can I read EPUB and Kindle books offline in my browser?
The reader stores supported books, bookmarks and reading progress in this browser's IndexedDB. Opening the page itself offline also depends on the app files being cached by your browser. Export a library backup before clearing browser data or changing devices.
How do I read Webtoons with vertical scroll on PC or desktop?
Open any comic archive (CBZ/CBR) or image-based book and switch the reading mode to 'Webtoon Mode' in the reader toolbar. It enables continuous smooth vertical scrolling, custom zoom stick, page scrubber, and keyboard navigation tailored for reading manhwa and webtoons on desktop.
How do I read an EPUB file online?
Choose Add Book / File and select your EPUB. The reader opens supported EPUB files in the browser and keeps the book in your local library so you can return to it later.
Can I open an EPUB file without installing an app?
Yes. OneStepKit runs in a modern web browser, so you can open supported EPUB files without installing a separate desktop ebook reader.
Can I read PDF books online?
Yes. Add a PDF and read it in the browser. Text-heavy PDFs can use the reader's reflow workflow when the source can be extracted cleanly; scanned pages stay image-based.
Can I open MOBI, AZW or AZW3 files online?
Supported, unencrypted MOBI, AZW and AZW3 files can be processed in the browser. The reader converts supported Kindle-family files into a reflowable EPUB-style reading format. DRM-protected or unusual files may not convert correctly.
Can I read CBZ or CBR comic files?
Yes. Supported comic archives and image-based books can be opened as graphic reading volumes, with page navigation and vertical reading options for manga, manhwa and webtoon-style material.
Can I read manga, manhwa and webtoons in this ebook reader?
Yes. Image-based books can use vertical reading, and the reader includes right-to-left manga navigation for supported comic material.
What ebook and book file formats are supported?
The upload workflow accepts EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW, AZW3, CBZ, CBR, ZIP, TXT, Markdown, RTF, HTML and common image files. Actual behavior depends on the file structure and whether the format is protected by DRM.
Does the ebook reader store my books on a server?
The core library stores supported books, shelves, reading progress and bookmarks in browser storage such as IndexedDB. Sharing is a separate action that creates a library snapshot only when you choose to use it.
Can I use this ebook reader on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iPhone?
Yes. The reader is browser-based and is designed for modern browsers on Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and iPhone or iPad.
Can I use this ebook reader offline?
The local library is designed to be offline-friendly because books and reading data can be stored in the browser. Whether a page loads fully offline also depends on the browser cache and whether the book was already stored locally.
Can I highlight text and save bookmarks?
Yes. Supported text-based reading views let you highlight passages and save bookmarks, with those records kept in the local library for the book.
What is True Reflow in the ebook reader?
True Reflow turns supported text-heavy books into a responsive reading layout so text can adapt to the available screen width. You can adjust reader typography such as font size, line height and reading theme.
Can I download a book as EPUB or PDF?
The reader includes EPUB and PDF download options. For supported text, EPUB and converted content can be generated in the browser; image-based material can be exported to PDF when the conversion path supports it.
Can I organize ebooks into shelves?
Yes. You can use the built-in shelves to group books, rename shelf names, add custom shelves, search and sort within shelves, and move books as your library grows.
Is this a free online ebook reader?
Yes. The core reader runs in the browser without an account. Add a supported book file, read it, and organize the local library from the same page.
What happens with DRM-protected Kindle or ebook files?
DRM-protected files are not guaranteed to open or convert. The reader is intended for files you are legally allowed to access and for formats that can be processed by the browser.
