Bring your own EPUBs
Jinshu does not lock learning inside a curated catalog. You can import novels, essays, course readings, Markdown, PDFs, and web articles, then keep reading on mobile or e-ink.
Read real books, learn real English
Jinshu is built for learners who already have books they want to read. Import an EPUB, keep the original text, and let vocabulary help appear exactly where the hard words show up.
Best for independent readers who want native books, not another closed lesson library.
Jinshu does not lock learning inside a curated catalog. You can import novels, essays, course readings, Markdown, PDFs, and web articles, then keep reading on mobile or e-ink.
CEFR-level annotations, translations, and pronunciation stay inline so the reading flow does not turn into constant dictionary switching.
Words you look up or save keep the original sentence and move into spaced repetition, so review starts from the book context.

Yes. Jinshu is designed around bring-your-own-book reading. EPUB is the best-supported format.
English learning is the core search position, and the app also supports Chinese, Japanese, and Korean annotation systems.
Reading, local dictionary lookup, and imported books work offline. Optional cloud voice and sync features need a network.
