    My commute used to disappear into my feed. Now I read on the train, and I actually finish books again.

    I got the X4 Pro for reading in bed. The front light is soft and I can turn the page by tapping the screen.

    I bought it as a Christmas gift for my mom, who loves mystery novels. She keeps it on her phone all day.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What phones does it work with?

      It holds on with a magnet and doesn't connect to your phone. On an iPhone with MagSafe it snaps on directly. For other phones, the box includes 2 adhesive metal rings.

      How do I add my books?

      From your phone or computer, following the steps on the reader and in the included quick start guide. It reads EPUB and TXT files. There is no built-in bookstore: you add your own files.

      Can I read in the dark?

      With Lyra X4 Pro, yes: it has a front light. Lyra X3 has no light, so, like a paper book, it needs light to read.

      Is it a good Christmas gift?

      Yes, for any reader who struggles to find time to read. Order by November 27 to get it in time. It also comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee.

        I read on my commute now

        I always said I had no time to read. Now my book is on the back of my phone, so on the subway I read instead of scrolling. I am on my third novel.

        The gift she actually uses

        I gave one to my sister for Christmas and she took it everywhere, so I ordered one for myself. Easily the best gift I bought that year.

        So thin I forget it is there

        I was worried it would feel bulky on my phone, but it is really slim. The page looks like paper, even outside in the sun.

        How many books have you left half-read?

        It's not that you don't want to. Your phone is always within reach and your book isn't. You take out your phone for five minutes, and the time disappears into the scroll.

        The problem isn't you. It's what's in your hand.

        Your phone is full of videos, alerts and apps calling for you. Lyra does one thing: it shows you your book. No ads and no pop-ups, on a screen that reads like paper.

        Before & After: Less Scroll, More Pages

        The same free time, used differently.

        After

        After: the same woman reading on the e-reader on the back of her phone

        Snap it on your phone. Turn the page. Keep reading.

        It holds on to the back of your phone with a magnet. On the subway, in line or on the couch, your book is right there. Turn the page with the buttons and, on Lyra X4 Pro, by tapping the screen too.
