1. What is Synchronization
The sync feature allows you to:
- Transfer files between your devices
- Sync reading progress and bookmarks
- Access your library from multiple devices
2. Sync Modes
P2P Only: Files transfer directly between your
devices. Your files never leave your devices.
P2P + Server: If a device is unavailable, the file
is temporarily stored on the server for handoff (up to
48 hours).
Server Only: All files go through the server.
3. Server Storage
Server storage works in two models:
-
Temporary handoff: files staged for a one-time
transfer between your devices are kept for up to
48 hours,
then automatically deleted.
-
Persistent cloud copy: if you save a book to the
cloud, the copy is kept for as long as you use it. We remove it
automatically only after
60 days
with no access; any open or sync resets that window. On reinstall
or a new sign-in, an available copy is restored.
-
No Guarantee: We do not guarantee indefinite file
preservation and recommend keeping your own backup.
-
Your Responsibility: You are responsible for
the legality of uploaded content.
