How it works
No group accounts, no admin setup. Every member reads in their own Chaptera, and the social layer connects them.
Everyone uploads the book
Drop in the EPUB or PDF. Chaptera processes it — columns, footnotes, formulas preserved. Each member gets their own reading environment.
Read and highlight
Annotate, highlight, and make notes as you go. Every member's highlights are their own — and optionally visible to the group.
Stay in sync
See what the group highlighted and where each member is in the book. And as you read, the book's built-in AI is there for your own questions.
See what your group actually noticed.
When a friend highlights a passage, you can see it. When everyone marks the same sentence, you know it's the one worth talking about.
Browse popular highlights across Chaptera to see which passages readers return to — then bring the ones your group marked to the discussion.

Members' reading goals · this summer
Each member sets their own goal
Set a goal. Keep each other going.
Each member sets their own reading challenge — 6 books by summer, one a month, a genre sprint — and tracks their progress as they read.
It's your own goal, but you're not reading alone — the club is there to cheer each other on.
Free to start. No group account required.
Every member needs a free Chaptera account. The social features — friends, shared highlights, activity feed, reading challenges — are included in the free tier. Advanced AI tools (quizzes, flashcards, study guides) unlock with Plus or Pro.
Start your club this week.
Upload the book. Invite your group. Start reading. The social layer is there when you open Chaptera — no extra setup.
