Spoiler guard

Every answer is bounded by your bookmark. Ask about the ending and it says no, then offers what it can talk about instead.

Reader

An EPUB reader is built in. Select a sentence, ask about that sentence, keep reading. The question never leaves the page.

Sync

Library, highlights and reading position move between your tolino, your phone and your laptop. Stop on one, continue on another.

Privacy

Your books and your conversations stay yours. Nothing you read or ask is used to train a model.
