49 free books — the modern classics.
Every book below is in the public domain and free to read in full on Wordema, which shows a book one word at a time so your eyes stay still and you set the pace. No account, no installation.
Ordinary reading moves your eyes about four times a second, hunting across the page for the next word. Every one of those jumps is a chance to lose your place. Wordema holds each word at a single fixed point instead, so the hunting stops. You choose the speed, the softness of the dissolve between words, and how long the reader breathes at punctuation. More on the science.
