Minium

Support

Minium is made by one person. Write to support@readminium.app and include your iOS version, the Minium version (in Settings, then About) and, if a book misbehaves, its format.

Supported formats

PDF, comics and audiobooks are not supported yet.

Books Minium can’t open

Minium can’t open books with DRM, the copy protection that ties a book to its store’s own app. That includes most books bought from the Kindle store, Kindle books in the newer KFX format, and Print Replica books (Kindle copies of printed layouts, such as textbooks).

Books from stores that sell DRM-free files work, and so do public-domain books.

A book shows “File missing”

If a book’s file is gone from the device, the book stays in your library and shows “File missing”. Delete the book, then add the file again. Your reading position, quotes and collections come back; bookmarks do not.

Questions

Does Minium need an account?
No. There is no account, and nothing is uploaded.
Does it sync between my devices?
Not yet. Your library lives on the device.
Why did my book fail to import?
The message gives the reason: an unsupported format, DRM, a damaged file, or a file too large to open on the device.
Does Minium come with books?
Yes: a few public-domain books from Project Gutenberg.
What happens when I delete a book?
You get a few seconds to undo. After that, the book’s file is removed. Minium keeps your reading position and your quotes, so if you add the book again, you pick up where you left off. To clear those positions, use “Forget removed books” in Settings, then Privacy. To remove quotes, delete them in Quotes.
