• Conversion from epub to kepub, and related Calibre use

  I only read kepub files on my Kobo Clara 2E (kobo stock). I use KOReader to read PDF, CBZ (comic files) and epub. Source: 5 months ago

• First E-reader. I am thinking of buying Kobo Libra 2?

  You can easily modify it (like adding KOReader). Source: 5 months ago

• Calibre – New in Calibre 7.0

  It doesn't try to solve the same use cases that Calibre does, but I built an open source (EPUB only) manager / reader / statistics tracker called AnthoLume [0]. It mostly stemmed from me reading in KOReader [1] on my Kindle, and not having the ability to sync the progress to my iPhone / iPad.

• Show HN: News2reader – Readable articles from HN and Pocket on your e-reader

  Hi! I recently became the owner of an e-reader, and wanted an easy way to get web articles from Hacker News and my bookmarks onto the device, on-demand, for easy reading.

• Best way to read books on SD?

  If Okular doesn’t get the job done for you, try https://johnfactotum.github.io/foliate/ or https://apps.kde.org/en-gb/arianna/. Of the two I’ve only used Foliate on a laptop, but they should also work on the Deck. Source: 12 months ago

• Does anyone know what happened to Books on Flathub?

  Gnome books was abandoned, we now have: https://johnfactotum.github.io/foliate/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Clueless Muggle Needs Counseling

  4- Do you trade stocks using the web browser or special apps ? If it is a special app, see if you it support Linux, or if there is an alternative. For reading Epubs I use foliate. Source: almost 2 years ago

• What beautiful Linux apps deserve more "marketing attention" for lack of a better term?

  Foliate a bookshelf app to store and read e-books. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Any privacy focused e-book readers out there?

  Hey, good to hear. If you're also reading on a Linux laptop have a look at Foliate which is also a very good reader. If you set the epub/azw3/mobi default to open in Foliate then you can also open books from Calibre in Foliate. Source: about 2 years ago
