Frequently Asked Questions


Is everything really free?

Yes. Every book on Real Novels is free to read online and free to download. There are no accounts, no subscriptions, no paywalls, and no premium tiers.

Do I need an account to read?

No. There are no visitor accounts at all. Open a book and start reading; your reading progress is remembered in your own browser only.

How do I read a book online?

Open any book and press Start Reading. PDF books open in our page-flip reader; ePUB books open in the e-reader. Both remember where you left off on that device.

How do I download a book?

On each book page you will find download buttons for the available formats (PDF and/or ePUB). The files are yours to keep.

Which format should I choose?

PDF keeps the original page layout and works everywhere. ePUB reflows the text to fit your screen and is best for phones and e-readers.

Can I request a book I cannot find?

Yes — use the Request page. Tell us the title and author; requests with the most votes get shelved first by our team.

How often are new books added?

Our team shelves new books every day, about twenty titles daily. New Releases always shows the freshest arrivals.

The text looks blurry in a book — what can I do?

Try the zoom buttons in the reader toolbar. If a book still looks unclear, write to us through the Contact page and tell us the title — we will replace the file.

Can I share a book with a friend?

Please do. Every book page has its own address you can send to anyone; it is free for them too.

I hold the rights to a book on your shelves.

Write to us through the Contact page. We answer every message and act promptly on legitimate rights concerns.
