CLUSTER DOMAIN-MOBILE-PUBLIC · 14 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2010-04-30
Public domain ebook readers
This cluster consists of ebook reader apps focused on public-domain and DRM-free content, offering offline reading, annotation tools, and customizable interfaces. Entries appear sporadically from April 2010 to June 2026, with no concentration in any particular period. Traction is led by FreeBooks with 76,000 Top Reads, followed by EPUB Reader and CloudLibrary, though all show zero stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 14 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
