The Ninth Planet reader

Sharon

A calm space built for reading in Arabic.

Open EPUB and PDF files, organize your own library, and discover Arabic books from public sources in an experience designed for Arabic from the start.

Version 1.5.2 is available on iPhone and iPad, and the full reader stays free.

Your Arabic library, from the first page.

Sharon does not bolt Arabic onto a reader designed for another language. Navigation direction, content order, open-library discovery, and reading flow begin with Arabic readers.

EPUB and PDF together

Import from Files and keep personal documents separate from titles discovered through public sources.

Arabic first

Clear RTL navigation, comfortable Arabic typography, and open-library entry points that begin with Arabic.

A quieter page

Focused reading, light and dark appearance, and a direct return to your saved position.

Highlights and notes

Save important passages in EPUB and PDF, with an early region-highlighting pass for scanned PDFs.

Open sources, clearly labeled

Browse public catalogs while keeping source attribution visible and separate from your own library.

The full reader stays free

Sharon Plus, Sharon Pro, and the page pack are optional and only raise the cloud-reading quota; nothing in the reader itself is locked away.

iPadOS

Designed for iPhone and iPad.

Shelves and discovery surfaces adapt to larger displays instead of merely enlarging the phone interface.

Sharon interface on iPad
