KOReader VS Google Play Books

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. It's got metadata matching, support for multiple users, and statistics tracking which allows me to have a "Leaderboard"... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

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.

Now I think the “Jeff reads Wikipedia” criticism is a tad bit too far, but the problem of his reliance on books (that we should definitely not read) and some surface-level sources manifests itself perfectly in that video.
