NetGalley Launches In-Browser Reader

Jan 30, 2025

NetGalley has announced the launch of the new proprietary NetGalley Reader and the introduction of LCP-protected downloads to the NetGalley platform. The global upgrade is now live across all NetGalley domains in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Japan. 

The new NetGalley Reader, built by NetGalley’s in-house engineering team, will allow users to read approved books in their web browsers with a single click without leaving the NetGalley website, downloading any files, or using an external device. At launch, the NetGalley Reader supports ePub- and PDF-formatted e-books. 

As part of ongoing security efforts, NetGalley has also made adjustments to the “Download” Reading Option, replacing the older Adobe DRM with EDRLab’s Readium Licensed Content Protection (LCP). NetGalley files have been protected with LCP in the NetGalley Shelf app since it was launched in 2020, but with this upgrade, NetGalley members can now download and read files on any LCP-supported device or app.
