Why readers stay
A book is where the conversation starts, not where it ends.
Most reading apps hand you a file and leave. Arpedia keeps the readers, the clubs, the notes, and the author right there beside the story, so finishing a chapter means walking into a room full of people who just finished it too.
The author is in the room
Ask the writer what they meant, hear where the story came from, and follow them to the next book. The people behind the books are here, not somewhere else.
Nobody reads alone
Join a club, keep pace with a chapter thread, and share the lines that stopped you. Your notes and highlights can stay private or start the conversation.
One membership, the whole shelf
Every book in the library opens the moment you join, so you can follow a discussion into a story you had never planned to read.

The simple version before you join.
What is Arpedia?
A reading community. You get a library of clean books and African stories, and the readers, authors, and book clubs that gather around them, all in one app.
What does a membership include?
Every book in the library, plus the community around it: book rooms, clubs, notes, and the authors themselves. One plan, nothing else to buy.
Can I really talk to the authors?
Yes. Authors are members here too. Follow them, join the room around their book, and ask your question where the chapter is being discussed.
Can authors publish on Arpedia?
Yes. Submit a cover and manuscript for review, and we prepare it for readers. Word documents are preferred because they convert more cleanly into EPUB.
