I find it easier to do this using kepubify in a script https://pgaskin.net/kepubify/

I believe Calibre (very) recently added a feature to make conversion to kepub automatic when transferring to a Kobo, so things may have changed on the ease of use front.

It used to require a 3rd party plugin, but now KEPUB support is built in.

How are you getting the Push-to-Kindle plugin to sync to KOReader?

I don’t. The plugin syncs to the PocketBook system software and KOReader is simply used as the reader application which opens the article. There is no need to sync to KOReader since it accesses the books present on my device and those are managed by the PocketBook software.

Ah okay, so you're using PocketBook for the syncing. I'll have to check it out. The send to kindle functionality is what keeps me coming back to the Kindle app.

Book Story on Android is a much more modern FOSS eBook reader and supports other formats too. https://github.com/Acclorite/book-story

I've used CoolReader in the past, and recently suggested its sucesslr LxReader[0] to my partner, while I like the simplicity in MuPdf[1]. What do you think are the biggest advantages of Book Story? I might give it a try. [0] https://gitlab.com/coolreader-ng/lxreader [1] https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.artifex.mupdf.viewer.app...

Thanks for sharing, this is the first time I hear about LxReader.

The UI is so good, from quick look on LxReader's play store page, the UI is a bit basic.

Thank you! I might give it a try to get some reading done on my phone
