Readium Mobile is a toolkit for ebooks, PDF documents, audiobooks and comics written in Swift & Kotlin. It targets primarily Android, iOS and iPadOS but can also be useful to build macOS and Chrome OS apps. With hundreds of apps using Readium Mobile and an open license (BSD-3), it's impossible to track down every single app built on top of it.
