## What it is
LNReader is a free, open-source light novel and webnovel reader app for Android, inspired by Tachiyomi. It supports 200+ community-maintained source plugins, local EPUB imports, TTS playback, and offline-first library management with backups.

## Use cases

- read webnovels offline
- import local EPUB files to read on my phone
- track my reading progress and statistics for novels
- listen to novels with text-to-speech
- install community plugins to discover new novel sources
- back up and migrate my novel library between devices

## When to choose
- you want an ad-free, privacy-first novel reader on Android
- you want to read from many community-maintained sources via plugins
- you want offline reading with local EPUB support
- you want TTS, reading statistics, and library backups built in

## When to avoid
