About Open Book — Two-Page Reader View & Image Gallery
Open Book — Two-Page Reader View & Image Gallery is a distraction-free reader mode for Chrome, with a twist: instead of one plain column, it turns any long web article into a calm, two-page reading experience, like an open book laid right on top of the page. It's free, fully open source, and private by design: reading happens entirely in your browser, and nothing is ever sent to the developer. Click the toolbar icon and it picks the right view for the page automatically: the two-page reader for articles, the image gallery for picture-heavy pages. Or go straight to one — Alt+B always opens the reader, Alt+Shift+B always opens the gallery. Love reading a particular forum or manga site? Turn on per-site auto-open (right-click → Auto-open on this site) and its content pages open in reading mode by themselves — list and search pages stay untouched, Esc always closes, and one click turns it off again.
