Dom Casmurro open at the same passage on a laptop, a tablet and a phone.

Readteca is your library, not a store. You upload your own files, organize them your way and read on any screen, with your progress saved to your account.

Ch. I · Your files

Your books are scattered. Bring them all home.

A notes.pdf lost in a group chat, a dom-casmurro.epub in Downloads, the manga collection on a hard drive nobody plugs in. In Readteca, everything goes on the same shelf, with cover, author and series.

  • EPUB

    The ebook format. Opens with the font and theme you choose.

  • PDF and DJVU

    That folder of course notes and papers everyone has.

  • CBZ, CBR and CB7

    Comics and manga, page by page, in the right direction.

  • MOBI, AZW3 and FB2

    Other ebook formats, also opened in the Readteca reader.

  • TXT

    Plain text, no fuss.

Ch. II · How it works

Upload. Organize. Read.

  1. Plate I · Upload

    Drag your files in or pick them on your phone. Readteca reads the title, author, series and cover from the file itself.

  2. Plate II · Organize

    Build shelves your way, like Classics, College and Manga. Find any book by author, series or publisher.

  3. Plate III · Read

    Open it in the browser, nothing to install. The bookmark keeps your place.

To get started, a shelf of public-domain Brazilian classics, in Portuguese, comes ready. Tap a book to read its first sentence.

    Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas

    Machado de Assis

    Algum tempo hesitei se devia abrir estas memórias pelo princípio ou pelo fim, isto é, se poria em primeiro lugar o meu nascimento ou a minha morte.

    Iracema

    José de Alencar

    Verdes mares bravios de minha terra natal, onde canta a jandaia nas frondes da carnaúba;

    Verdes mares, que brilhais como líquida esmeralda aos raios do sol nascente, perlongando as alvas praias ensombradas de coqueiros;

    Serenai, verdes mares, e alisai docemente a vaga impetuosa, para que o barco aventureiro manso resvale à flor das águas.

    O Guarani

    José de Alencar

    De um dos cabeços da Serra dos Órgãos desliza um fio de água que se dirige para o norte, e engrossado com os mananciais que recebe no seu curso de dez léguas, torna-se rio caudal.

    O Cortiço

    Aluísio Azevedo

    João Romão foi, dos treze aos vinte e cinco anos, empregado de um vendeiro que enriqueceu entre as quatro paredes de uma suja e obscura taverna nos refolhos do bairro do Botafogo; e tanto economizou do pouco que ganhara nessa dúzia de anos, que, ao retirar-se o patrão para a terra, lhe deixou, em pagamento de ordenados vencidos, nem só a venda com o que estava dentro, como ainda um conto e quinhentos em dinheiro.

    Úrsula

    Maria Firmina dos Reis

    São vastos e belos os nossos campos; porque inundados pelas torrentes do inverno semelham o oceano em bonançosa calma — branco lençol de espuma, que não ergue marulhadas ondas, nem brame irado, ameaçando insano quebrar os limites que lhe marcou a onipotente mão do rei da criação.

Capítulo I
Do título

Uma noite destas, vindo da cidade para o Engenho Novo, encontrei no trem da Central um rapaz aqui do bairro, que eu conheço de vista e de chapéu. Cumprimentou-me, sentou-se ao pé de mim, falou da lua e dos ministros, e acabou recitando-me versos. A viagem era curta, e os versos pode ser que não fossem inteiramente maus. Sucedeu, porém, que, como eu estava cansado, fechei os olhos três ou quatro vezes; tanto bastou para que ele interrompesse a leitura e metesse os versos no bolso.

  • As with a real bookcase, a lent book stays with one person at a time. Whoever uploaded it can always read it.
  • One subscription, paid by the household manager.
  • Invites by email, valid for 7 days.

To keep the household stable, there are up to 2 member changes per year, and whoever leaves waits 30 days to join another household.

Ch. X · Commitments

The books are yours. We take care of the house.

A library is only yours when you decide what goes in, who borrows from it and when to take it all with you. That’s why these rules apply to everyone.

Selling books
Never. Apart from the public-domain shelf, every file is uploaded by you.
Reading and downloading if a payment is late
Always available for your files.
Deleting books because you went over the limit
Never, while you’re a subscriber. If you cancel, whatever goes over Local stays for 90 days for you to read and export, and we email you first.
Showing support the titles of your books
Not by default. Only the owner or an admin, with a logged ticket and reason, or while reviewing a copyright report.
Taking everything with you
A ZIP with the original files.
Changing your mind about deleting your account
30 days to undo it.
Copy-protected files (DRM)
We don’t accept them or help remove the protection.

Ch. XI · Questions

Questions

What files can I upload?

EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, FB2, TXT, PDF, DJVU and comics in CBZ, CBR and CB7, without copy protection (DRM). They all open in the Readteca reader, on any device.

Which formats pick up where I left off?

In every format, Readteca saves the spot where you stopped.

What counts toward my storage?

Only the files you upload. The versions Readteca prepares for reading are on us.

Can I send books to my Kindle?

Yes. From the app, you send your ebooks to your Kindle’s email address. Comics and DJVU files aren’t sent.

Does Readteca sell books?

No. Readteca is your library: you upload the books you already have. To get started, there’s a shelf of public-domain Brazilian classics, in Portuguese, such as Dom Casmurro and Iracema.

Is it a catalog subscription, like Kindle+?

No. With a catalog subscription, you read the store’s books while you pay. With Readteca, the files are yours and, if you cancel, you export everything.

Can I upload books I bought from other stores?

If the file has no copy protection (DRM), yes. Readteca doesn’t accept protected files and doesn’t help remove the protection, which Brazilian copyright law prohibits.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Readteca opens in the browser. If you like, install it as an app on the home screen of your phone or computer.

Can I read offline?

Not yet. Offline reading comes in a later version of the installed app.

How does the Household plan work?

Up to 4 people from the same home share 8 GB, each with their own shelf and progress. The household manager pays for the subscription and invites the others by email, and the invite is valid for 7 days. Each person chooses what to share, and a lent book stays with one person at a time. There are up to 2 member changes per year, and whoever leaves waits 30 days to join another household.

What if I go over my storage limit?

You keep reading and downloading everything. Only new uploads are paused until you make room or change plans. While you’re a subscriber, nothing is deleted because of it.

What if a payment fails?

For the first 10 days, nothing changes while we try again. From day 10 to day 30, new uploads and sharing with your household are paused, but you keep reading and downloading your files. On day 30, the account moves to Local.

How do I cancel?

In the app, whenever you want. Access continues until the end of the paid period. Then the account moves to Local, and whatever goes over 500 MB stays for 90 days for you to read and export. We email you 30, 7, and 1 day ahead, and only then delete it.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If you change your mind within the first 7 days after subscribing, you get a full refund.

Who can use Readteca?

Adults 18 and over.

Where is my data stored?

Readteca’s servers and database are in Brazil, in Campinas (SP). The data protection officer answers at privacidade@readteca.com.

What if someone uploads a book that isn’t theirs?

Whoever uploads a file declares they hold the rights to it. Rights holders can report it at direitos@readteca.com. The book comes down within 48 hours of a valid report. The uploader can dispute it, and three confirmed violations close the account.

Make yourself at home. The house is yours.

Bring your books, set up your shelves and keep reading on any screen.
