  • 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. It's got metadata matching, support for multiple users, and statistics tracking which allows me to have a "Leaderboard"... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • 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. I'm using KOReader (https://koreader.rocks/) on my device, and like lots of e-book readers it allows browsing online catalogs of books (e.g. From sources like Project Gutenberg) using the OPDS protocol. News2reader is a self-hosted Node... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • Is the pocketboom era the right choice for me ?
    No I don't have any special lag. But I also don't use the default reading app, I use Koreader. I think the normal reading app also doesn't have much lag. Most modern eReaders have much less than 5s lag. Source: 10 months ago

  • Looking for more useful apps to self host
    Mylar (to search for comic books) Komga (to read comic books - Plex for comics, basically). Source: about 2 years ago
  • Reading Manga and Light Novels
    Jellyfin's book support isn't the best, Komga looks interesting though if you don't mind running a separate thing for it. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Amazon's greed just ruined comic books [video]
    That's why I selfhost a comic/manga reading app, and why I self-host media services in general. I use mango [1] but I see people discussing Komga [2] a lot. [1]: https://github.com/hkalexling/Mango [2]: https://github.com/gotson/komga. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
  • Wow! Just Found Out Jellyfin Can Handle Books and Comics!
    For comics and manga I recommend you this one https://github.com/gotson/komga which has nice integration with third app parties specially Tachiyomi. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Playback Speed Options Has Been a Requested Feature For Plex Since 2014 and Is Still Being Ignored
    I'd love comics on plex but there are already strong alternatives. I like Komga quite a bit. The interface is very Plex-ey. Source: over 2 years ago
