Mythos

The book reader you wish existed.

Mythos is an AI-powered EPUB and PDF reader. Select any passage and it knows what you're about to ask.

The problem with reading hard books

You hit a paragraph you don't understand. A concept the author assumes you already know. A character who reappears two hundred pages after being introduced. An argument built on three earlier chapters you read last week and no longer remember clearly.

So you stop. You open a browser, type a half-formed question, wade through results, and eventually get an answer that may or may not match the book in front of you. By the time you come back, the thread you were following is gone.

Most people don't do this. They keep reading past the thing they didn't understand and hope it becomes clear later. The gaps accumulate, comprehension quietly degrades, and the book gets abandoned around page ninety. Not because it was too difficult, but because getting help cost more than continuing without it.

What Mythos changes

Mythos removes that cost entirely. Select the passage that confused you and the answer appears right there, in the same place, grounded in the book you're actually reading.
You don't have to formulate the question. Mythos reads what you selected and infers what you need: a summary if you highlighted a dense argument, an explanation if you highlighted a technical term, background if you highlighted a name you've lost track of, a translation if you're reading in a second language, an image if you're trying to picture a scene. The right options are simply there.

Your place is never lost. You never leave the page. The interruption that used to cost five minutes and your entire train of thought now costs one tap.

What that's worth

You finish books you would have abandoned. You read at the level you're capable of rather than the level you can get through unassisted, which means you can attempt the harder book, the primary source, the text outside your field.
