New Mobile App Hides Swear Words in eBooks

TWIN FALLS, Idaho, March 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Now available in the App Store and Google Play, Clean Reader delivers the opportunity of reading any book without being exposed to profanity. By selecting how clean they want their books to appear, readers are presented the content of a book without offensive words and phrases.  To preserve the context of the book, an alternative word with the same general meaning is available for each instance where a word is blocked from display.

Clean Reader is the only e-reader in the world to give readers the option of having profanity automatically removed from the text of a book.  Readers select from three settings (Clean, Cleaner, and Squeaky Clean) to determine how clean they want their book.  Then Clean Reader scans the text of the book and hides offensive words/phrases from display on the screen.  "The idea for Clean Reader started at our dinner table after our daughter's first exposure to books with swear words.  It's taken significant time and effort to take it from an interesting idea to a really fantastic mobile app that we're excited to offer to the world," says Jared Maughan, president of Upstream Media. 

In order for users to read a book with Clean Reader it must be purchased through the in-app bookstore.  With more than 1 million titles, including all the latest books from top authors and publishers, the Clean Reader bookstore offers the same books as any other online retailer and with comparable pricing.    

Since launching in late December Clean Reader has already attracted users in over 70 countries and nearly every state in the United States.  "We believe there are lots of people around the world that would rather read books without seeing excessive profanity.  These are exactly the people we hope to serve with Clean Reader," says Maughan.

Clean Reader is offered by Upstream Media in partnership with Page Foundry, Inc. It is a free app on the Apple App Store and Google Play. For additional information please visit www.CleanReaderApp.com where you can see screenshots and view a demo video of Clean Reader.
