Premium capability catalog

Every major Premium layer,
clearly visible.

The Premium app's signed feature catalogue defines these advanced capabilities directly in the current codebase.

Premium

Ink annotations

PDF ink annotation storage adds a pen-based layer alongside highlights, notes and bookmarks.

Google Account Sync

Sync the reading state.
Choose whether books travel too.

Premium separates lightweight reading/knowledge sync from original-book transfer, so you can synchronize progress and annotations without automatically uploading every book.

Privacy design: reading data and recovery snapshots can be protected with end-to-end encryption using a sync password shared only across your devices. Original book files remain ordinary files in the Reader's private Drive area rather than being sent to Teknoble.
Meaning, translation & study

Turn reading into
retained knowledge.

Premium extends the selection menu from simple annotation into a learning system. Look up a word, translate a passage, send a term to Word Bank, add a note, review later, or export knowledge to another workflow.

Premium without losing the book
Research tools when you need them. Quiet pages when you don't.

The Premium philosophy is depth without turning the reader into a dashboard. Advanced tools live around the text—not on top of it.
