Buklya books bot
In short
The simplest way to read your own book in Telegram without extra apps: send a file, get pages that open instantly, like articles in Instant View. Bookmarks exist, display settings barely do. The project is old and rarely updated, but it works.
About the bot
Buklya takes the book you send and turns it into a set of Instant View pages. That's the same mode Telegram uses for articles from websites: it opens in a split second, the text adapts to the screen, and you can read on a phone or a computer.
Navigation and bookmarks
Inside a page you can move forward and back, and a bookmark is set by tapping the page number. Books uploaded before navigation appeared need to be uploaded again.
History
The bot launched in 2019, and by the end of 2020 users had uploaded around ten thousand books. News has been scarce since; support answers in the direct messages listed in the description.
Commands are in English, books can be in any language. If you'd rather have the book read aloud, look at VoiceBooks nearby.
