Chrome, Edge, and Firefox extensions
Use the extension Reader for local PDF, DOCX, TXT, Markdown, and image files, as well as supported webpages and browser-based readers. It does not accept a local .epub file.

Can the Chrome, Edge, or Firefox extension import a local EPUB?
No. The extension Reader accepts local PDF, DOCX, TXT, Markdown, and image files, but EPUB is not one of its accepted local formats.
Where can I open a DRM-free EPUB with CastReader?
Use the CastReader app for iPhone, iPad, or Android. Import availability can still depend on the EPUB structure and whether the file is DRM-free.
Can this website convert my EPUB to a downloadable MP3?
Not currently. The castreader.com upload and MP3 export workflow is unavailable, so this page does not promise a browser conversion or downloadable audio file.
Does CastReader remove or bypass ebook DRM?
No. CastReader does not bypass DRM, ownership, publisher restrictions, or source permissions.
