LAN Reader is a free, open-source tool that turns any local folder into a read-only e-book shelf browsable from any device on the same local network, with no cloud upload or account required. It renders Markdown with diagrams and math, previews PDFs in-browser, and can optionally convert Word and PowerPoint files, aimed at people who want to read documents from a phone or tablet without leaving their home network.
