honto
honto is a Japanese eBook reader and store client developed by DNP (Dai Nippon Printing). It allows users to browse, purchase, and read eBooks from honto.jp, Japan's major online bookstore. The app provides access to a large catalog of Japanese-language titles with DRM-protected content. It's primarily used by Japanese readers and learners of the Japanese language who want to build digital libraries and read books on their Mac.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionBased on available information, no native Apple Silicon version of honto has been released. The app remains Intel-only at version 6.73.0. However, the developer (DNP) appears to maintain the application, as evidenced by ongoing updates in the Homebrew catalog. Since this is an actively maintained app from a major Japanese publisher, there is a reasonable chance a native version may be in development. We recommend checking honto.jp periodically for updates, or contacting DNP support directly to inquire about Apple Silicon compatibility plans. In the interim, the app will continue to run under Rosetta 2 translation on Apple Silicon Macs, though with some performance overhead.
