A public library tailored for learners, drawing from Project Gutenberg and other open sources:
Every book is paired with tap-to-translate, AI grammar help, and flashcards. No subscription required to read.
Versus Project Gutenberg directly: Gutenberg has the raw files but no reader, no translation, no flashcards. Lingible wraps those books in the learning experience.
Versus Audible / audiobooks: Listening is passive. Reading with tap-to-translate is active — you construct meaning yourself, which builds long-term retention.
Versus paid e-bookstores: The classics are out of copyright and legally free. We cover 90% of what learners want without anyone paying.
Yes. The built-in library is fully free. You can also upload your own purchased books.
Heavy on English, French, German (from the Project Gutenberg corpus). Other languages have fewer titles but the catalog grows.
Yes — once opened, books cache locally for offline reading.
