A moment to read

There is a pleasure in opening a book and finding a little room to think. The world can wait for a page or two.

Read a page. Find your rhythm.

Some stories invite you to linger. Others carry you forward. Choose a pace that leaves space for both.

A little reading
about reading.

Simple explanations to help you find a useful pace and understand what speed reading can—and can't—do.

A few things
you might wonder.

What can I read in Nimbus?

Import DRM-free EPUBs, PDFs, TXT and HTML files, paste text, or add web links. Some protected books cannot be imported.

How does speed reading work?

Speed mode presents words or small chunks of text at a pace you choose. Adjust words per minute and chunk size to find a comfortable rhythm. You can also read normally.

Is Nimbus free?

Nimbus is free to download with optional Pro subscriptions. You can see the current features and prices in the app before subscribing.

Is Nimbus available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac?

Yes. Nimbus is available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Can I sync my library?

Cloud sync is a Pro feature. Sign in with the same account on each device to sync your library and reading progress.

Will reading faster affect comprehension?

Reading speed and comprehension vary with the material and the reader. Start at a comfortable pace, check what you remember, and slow down for complex passages. A higher WPM setting is not a guarantee of better reading.

Your next good read
is waiting.
