The service has been restored. Please update the bREADER Cloud app to the latest version, and you will be able to view it normally in your browser. If the issue persists, please update the app as well. (2025/09/09)

On iOS devices (iPhones, iPads, etc.) where the bREADER Cloud app is installed, attempts to view the e-book content directly from the browser instead of through the app result in failed playback.
Note: If the app is not installed, you can view the e-book content normally using the browser viewer.

The developer is currently identifying the cause of this issue and working on releasing a corrected version of the app. Unfortunately, until the problem is resolved, please use one of the following methods:

1. For users with the bREADER Cloud app installed on iOS/iPadOS devices:
   You can only view the e-book content using the app itself; browsing from the browser will not work.
2. For users without the bREADER Cloud app installed on iOS/iPadOS devices:
   You can view the e-book content directly via the browser.
3. For users on other PC or Android devices:
   You can use both the browser and the app as usual

The service has been restored. (2025/09/01)
