The program is designed for reading fiction books and is compatible with Android 1.6+ devices. It supports a variety of formats including fb2, fb3, fbz, txt, epub (no DRM), html, doc, docx, odt, rtf, mobi (no DRM), prc (PalmDoc), tcr, as well as ZIP and GZ archives. The program allows users to specify the encoding for reading files and supports Text-To-Speech (TTS) functionality.

It also supports network libraries (OPDS) and provides a local library where users can organize their books by authors, series, title, publication year, and genre. The program is available in multiple interface languages including Russian, English, German, Greek, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Polish, Chinese, Bulgarian, and Turkish.

Additional features include support for external dictionaries, editing of Fb2 and TXT files (with file unpacking if necessary), selection of code page for file names in ZIP archives, correct hyphenation for 20 languages, and the ability to create four profiles with independent settings for font, color, brightness, gamma correction, and text indentation.

One- and two-page modes are available with automatic switch to two-page mode in landscape orientation. Users can configure display styles for headings, citations, abstracts, etc., with options for font, color, text style, text size, shadow, indent, spacing, and more. The program also includes a search function and offers autoscrolling options (“wave” and “slide”) as well as 3D paging animation.

For improved readability and aesthetics there is an option to display an initial letter or two lines of text at the beginning of each chapter or paragraph. Users can independently customize items in the status bar and footer for windowed and full-screen modes. Footnotes can be displayed on the page for fb2- and (most) epub-files, and the program supports horizontal and vertical alignment of text on the screen as well as hanging punctuation.

Additional features include an option for starting new sections on a new page, various navigation options within the text (by percents, by pages, to the beginning/end of the text, 10 pages forward/backward, to the next/previous chapter), table of contents in fb2-, doc-, and epub-files, and support for tap-zones, gestures, resize text by “pinch”, and assigning actions to buttons.

The program supports E-Ink screens with special appearance adaptation and “fast” refresh for many E-Ink devices, as well as screen rotation fixation. Users can also apply 9.png skins with automatic selection of one- or two-page mode and consider background color when selecting embedded texture or using a mix of textures and colors.

Additional features include a clock overlay behind the text, options for quotes, bookmarks, text labeling, and sending selected text to third-party programs. Users can create shortcuts for books on the home screen and save/restore program settings/styles/current profiles (including fonts and skins). The program also offers an ability to hold screen backlight for up to 20 minutes of inactivity.

In terms of statistics, the program collects anonymous data about open books to create a top-100 list of authors and books. This top-100 list is available within the program. Lastly, users can synchronize their reading position via network or file system.
