• Sioyek is a PDF viewer with a focus on textbooks and research papers

  Hypothesis https://web.hypothes.is/ is pretty good at keeping notes on PDF.

• What happened to the idea of having a comment section for each webpage?

  Tools like https://web.hypothes.is exist and have a decent number of installs. The hard part of a generic third-party commenting tool is creating the right social context for it to actually be useful.

• Browser extensions are underrated: the promise of hackable software

  Based on what's on ZLibrary, various formats, though principally PDF, ePub, Mobi (Kindle), DJVU (similar to PDF), FB2, and a few others. Most ebook readers (with the exception of Amazon's own Kindle reader) can read virtually all of these, some with extensions. E.g., FB Reader , PocketBook Reader , Onyx's Neoreader (BOOX) ... No... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• FOSS or privacy conscious ebook reading app (Mac/iOS)

  I came across FBReader which looks great in principal, but it uses a Google Drive account to sync with no other options. Also it's no longer OSS from 2015 (which wouldn't have been a deal breaker for me). Source: almost 2 years ago
