Send an EmailAdding books
How do I add books?
- In Bereet: tap + on Home or Library, then Import Files… or Import Folder…. Books are copied in, so you can delete the originals.
- From a server, a computer, Dropbox or Google Drive: tap +, then Import From. Server… browses an OPDS catalog, often a server you run yourself. Wi-Fi Transfer… lets a computer on the same Wi-Fi network send books from its browser. Dropbox… downloads books from your Dropbox, or whole folders as series. Google Drive… opens Google’s picker: the books you pick there are downloaded (open a folder to pick several of its books at once).
- With the Files app: put your comics in Files › On My iPhone › Bereet, in folders if you like. They show up when Bereet opens, or tap Refresh on Home.
- From other apps: share a CBZ, CBR or PDF and choose Bereet, or AirDrop it. On iPad, drag files onto Bereet.
Which formats can Bereet read?
CBZ and ZIP, CBR, CB7, CBT, PDF, and folders of images. Pages can be JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC or GIF.
Not supported: password-protected files, and CBR files split into several parts (.part1.rar, .part2.rar…).
How are books grouped into series?
Import a folder and every comic inside becomes one series, named after the folder. Tags like [cbr] and years are left out.
Files on their own are grouped by the series name inside the file (ComicInfo) or in the file name, and put in order by their number: T08, Vol. 3, #12…
To fix a series, long-press it to rename it or move its books. A folder holding several series comes in as one: give each its own subfolder, or move the books afterwards.
Reading
A manga reads in the wrong direction
Bereet detects right-to-left manga, webtoons and two-page spreads by itself. To change them for a series, open one of its books, tap the middle of the page, then the settings button at the top right: Direction, Reading Mode and Page Layout are there.
For books that don’t say which way they read, Settings › Default Direction sets the direction.
A book won’t open
Password-protected files and CBR files split into several parts can’t be opened. For anything else, the reader says the book can’t be opened: tap Show Details, and send us what it says along with the book’s format.
Can pages turn like paper?
Yes: turn on Settings › Page Curl. Pages then turn like a paper book’s, with a tap at the side or by dragging a corner.
Library and storage
Where are my books stored?
On your device, in Bereet’s folder: Files › On My iPhone (or iPad) › Bereet. Bereet doesn’t upload them anywhere.
Deleting a book in Bereet (long-press it, then Delete…) deletes its file from your device. Bereet remembers where you were: add the book again later and you pick up at the same page.
How do I free up space?
Delete the books you’ve finished: long-press, then Delete…. Some CBR and CB7 files are unpacked so they open quickly. Settings › Unpacked Files shows the space they take, and Clear Unpacked Files frees it safely: a book is unpacked again the next time you open it.
Is my progress synced between my devices?
Yes, through your own iCloud account: where you are in each book, each series’ reader settings and your reading preferences follow you to your other iPhones and iPads.
Your books don’t sync: add them on each device, and the same file opens where you left off. To keep your reading on one device only, turn off Bereet in your device’s iCloud settings.
I’m moving to a new iPhone
Restore the new iPhone from a backup of the old one, on iCloud or your computer: Bereet’s books and reading progress come along.
