## BookOrbit for iPhone and Apple Watch
Take your library anywhere with the official native BookOrbit app. Read ebooks, PDFs, and comics; stream or download audiobooks; use text to speech; and keep reading offline. The app connects directly to your self-hosted BookOrbit server, while Apple Watch brings downloaded audiobooks and synchronized playback progress to your wrist.
