So do you upload epub files to the app and want users to read that file using something like a webview? ---

create a text file from PDF and display it in a rich text component, you can add dynamic text size, color, fonts… sample: > **[Holy Bible](https://holy-bible.glideapp.io/)** > > Holy Bible in English, Spanish, Polish and Tagalog plus english audio. Easy to search and read with adjustable fonts size. ---

with hundreds of ebooks already available it would be very hard to do that. i was looking for a third-party to host the files and display them with in the webview. btw you have done an incredible work, the app is fantastic. Congrats ---

You can most likely use Google Drive… have you tried that? I built this a while back using pdfs [https://kierkegaard.glideapp.io](https://kierkegaard.glideapp.io) If you need help with displaying google drive files, let me know… haven’t tried with epub files ---

Thanks for help ! actually i was able to display pdfs but what I’m trying to do is to make eBooks more interactive where the user is able to change font switch between Dark/light Mode and many more options that can be done using a e-book reader but until now I can’t find any good online reader that can fit in a WebView to display the book either reader doesn’t allow putting the book within an iframe or it just doesn’t fit right. for example the reading experience in Kindle, ScholarVox… ect. I hope you understood my idea . ---

@ThinhDinh@ThinhDinh UPDATE : I have found an example of what i’m looking for, this is an example but always can not find a tool where i can Host my own files. this is what i meant a eReader within a webview where you can customize your reading experience ( dark mode / clear mode , chage font type, change font size, mark a page ect…) **Toggle between dark mode and clear mode** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/4/9486ae13f951f68cb152f5dff5d5f875e694d05c.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/8/78ce51c72ff4823b24b0b6b05f9b00778f0367e8.png) **Adjust Font Size** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/3/638a42aec8f5f5555cda3dfc482c10325224abba.png) ---
