About app Reader by Sony

Reader by Sony — Full Access to Your Sony eBook Library on Android

If you own a Sony eBook library, you need the official Reader by Sony app installed on your Android device. This application provides direct, unrestricted access to every book you have purchased through the Sony bookstore. No more being tied to a single device — your entire collection moves with you.

The app automatically syncs your user profile across all platforms. Once logged in, your complete bookshelf is available for reading, searching, and organizing. To get started, you only need your Sony ID, PlayStation Network account, Twitter login, or Google account. There is no complicated setup — just sign in and your library appears.

Ad-Free Reading Experience with Turbo

Reader by Sony includes a Turbo mode that removes all advertisements and adds a range of performance benefits. This is not a basic reader — it is a streamlined, professional eBook environment. No banners, no pop-ups, no distractions. The entire interface is dedicated to your reading content.

Customizable Reading Interface

You have full control over how each page looks. The app allows you to adjust:

  • Font size and typeface for comfortable reading at any distance
  • Line spacing to reduce eye strain during long sessions
  • Background color (white, sepia, black, or custom tones)
  • Brightness slider for low-light environments

These settings are saved per book, so you can have different configurations for novels, reference materials, or comics.

Cross-Device Library Sharing

Your Sony eBook collection is not locked to one device. Reader by Sony enables library sharing between multiple Android devices, tablets, and even compatible Sony e-readers. Start a book on your phone during a commute and continue on your tablet at home — your reading progress, bookmarks, and notes sync automatically in real time.

Extensive Catalog and Format Support

The Sony bookstore offers a wide range of content types:

  • Full-length novels and literary fiction
  • Non-fiction, biographies, and technical manuals
  • Comic books, graphic novels, and manga
  • Magazines and periodicals with interactive layouts

The app supports multiple file formats including EPUB, PDF, and Sony's proprietary formats. You can also import personal documents directly into your library for reading within the same interface.

Organize Your Personal Bookshelf

The bookshelf management tools let you create custom collections, sort by author or title, and mark favorites. You can search your entire library by keyword, author name, or ISBN. The app also displays metadata such as page count, publication date, and file size for each title.

Performance and Reliability

Reader by Sony is built for stability. Page turns are instant, memory usage is optimized for large libraries (thousands of books), and the app runs smoothly on both phones and tablets. The interface is designed for one-handed use with thumb-friendly navigation.

We suggest trying Reader by Sony if you already have purchases in the Sony ecosystem. The app is free to download and includes the Turbo ad-free upgrade as an optional in-app purchase.

Consider downloading the APK file from the official source to ensure you receive the latest version with full feature support.

Technical disclaimer: This mobile application requires an active internet connection for initial account synchronization and bookstore access. Some features, including Turbo mode and certain content, may require in-app purchases. Downloaded books can be read offline once transferred to your device. Performance depends on device specifications and network speed.
