  • 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

  • Found out I’m pregnant and it’s already too late.
    There are some, I've seen Periodical on F-Droid before, but I saw now there's another one called drip. Probably more out there, but both of those are also available on Google Play for people who aren't FOSS nerds like me. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • I'm looking for a self-hosted period tracker / pregnancy planner for my wife.
    Do you really need it hosted? Is a private app enough? For example, on Android, there's Periodical and I think it doesn't even have the internet access permission. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Everything is fine.
    If you have an Android device, Periodical is a simple tracking app that does not have Internet permission so it literally cannot share your data. You can back up its data to a text file to restore if need be, and keep that backup off your device. However, if your phone backs itself up to "the cloud" you could still incriminate yourself.
