  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 / 5 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

• Recommendations to replace a Kindle keyboard?

  I ended up ditching the default reader on the leaf which is just OK, and I swapped to KOreader. KOreader is basically a program designed for enthusiast eink readers for eink devices, that is super intimidating at first (imo) then once you have it dialed it in, it is amazing. I have everything from my touch gestures to my reading status bar dialed into exactly how I like it. It has super detailed reading statistics... Source: about 1 year ago

• Do you have both a Kobo AND a Kindle?

  Eh... Not exactly. My Kindles are jailbroken, and the reader I've installed and use on them is KOReader (https://koreader.rocks). That's what reads my ePubs (and PDFs, Djvus, anything, really). No more converting files in Calibre. Source: about 1 year ago
