Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our online ebook reader

An online ebook reader is a web-based application that lets people read ebooks, PDFs, and listen to audiobooks directly in their browser — without downloading files or installing software. Publica.la's reader is designed for publishers and institutions who want to deliver content under their own brand.

Our reader supports EPUB (reflowable text), PDF (fixed layout with SmartZoom), audiobooks (MP3/M4A with chapter navigation), and interactive content with embedded media. All formats are accessible from the same reader interface.

No. The reader works entirely in the browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge on desktop and mobile. There is nothing to download or install. Readers can also use our native apps for offline access if they prefer.

Yes. The reader is fully white-label. Your logo, brand colors, and domain are displayed. Readers see your brand, not Publica.la. This applies to both the web reader and native apps.

Content is streamed encrypted using proprietary DRM with AES encryption. Files are never stored locally on the reader's device. Session-scoped URLs auto-expire, and our live telemetry system detects and mitigates anomalous access patterns.
