A few useful answers.

Do I need an account?

No Skim account is required to start reading.

Can I read my own books?

Yes. Import an EPUB or PDF from your device, up to 20 MB.

Can I keep reading offline?

Once a book is successfully imported, you can read it offline. Adding new online content needs a connection.

Where are my books from the old website?

If you previously read at www.justskim.in, open your previous browser library on the same device and browser. The new app address uses separate browser storage; your books do not transfer automatically. Keep the old site’s data until you have moved your books.

Can I install the web app?

Open Skim first. Where supported, use your browser’s Install app or Add to Home Screen option. Menu names vary by browser.

How can I send feedback?

Email buildthingspeoplewant@gmail.com. Please leave private books and reading notes out of your message.

A book can fit into your day.
