Once a book is in your library, you can always open it in the Sọna Reader app. If its author or publisher enabled browser reading, you can also open the full book from your web library. App-only titles remain in the iOS and Android apps.
Once you know how to read on Sona, the Reader app becomes your default home for every book and eARC you own.
