About this widget

📖 E Ink Reader — a calm, paper-toned website template inspired by e-paper readers. Warm cream backgrounds, real book typography, a soft screen-refresh blink, and four paper tones your visitors can switch between. A whole little website, ready to make your own. 🌿

★ A COMPLETE SITE — 7 PAGES ★
• Home — hero, what you're currently reading, latest saved passages
• Library — your whole shelf, filtered by Reading / Finished / Up next
• Reader — a distraction-free reading view with real type controls
• Highlights — saved quotes with a live search box
• Notes — your own writing, filtered by tag
• About — reading stats, a reading-days grid and your own rules
• Contact — a friendly form plus an FAQ section

★ FOUR PAPER THEMES BUILT IN ★
Paper · Sepia · Slate · Night. Visitors switch tone from the little dots in the status bar, and their choice is remembered on the next visit. Add your own tone by copying one line.

★ THE READER PAGE ★
• A– / A+ to resize the text
• Serif or Sans reading typeface
• Three line-spacing settings
• Turn pages with the ← → arrow keys
• A soft E Ink "refresh" blink on every turn

★ SO EASY TO EDIT (no coding degree needed) ★
• ALL your content — books, highlights and notes — lives in ONE simple file. Copy a block, change the words.
• Change the ENTIRE colour scheme from 7 lines at the top of one stylesheet (4 ready-made palettes included)
• Edit the site name and menu once — all 7 pages update together
• Fully responsive — looks lovely on phones too

★ WHAT YOU GET (instant digital download, 1 ZIP) ★
• 7 ready-to-use HTML pages
• Full CSS styling with colour and theme customisation
• JavaScript for the shelf, reader, search and contact form
