Everything you need

The features that make Empire Reading useful day-to-day.

Curated lists

Carefully selected book lists by topic — not just popular titles, but the ones that move thinking forward in a field. Each list is annotated with why each book made the cut.

Structured plans

Multi-week reading plans with chapter-level pacing and reflection prompts. Designed for retention, not for marathon completion.

Note-taking

In-app note-taking tied to chapters. Searchable across your whole library, exportable when you want them somewhere else.

Track retention

Spaced-repetition prompts on what you've read three weeks, three months, a year ago. Reading retention compounds when revisited.

Why Empire Reading

Built for people who want a useful tool, not enterprise checkbox features.

Right-sized

Designed for daily use, not enterprise checkbox compliance. The features that matter, none of the ones that don't.

Sovereign infrastructure

Hosted on our own servers in Estonia. No US-jurisdiction tracking, no third-party analytics, no data sales.
