For Windows people, Edge also works as a great epub reader.
The last time I read ebooks on an x86 device was before Pocket PCs got color displays. Are there people who really want to do that?
I read almost exclusively on a x86 device: A Windows Tablet. This is almost entirely because Windows 8 has the best touch-screen browser available on any platform: Internet Explorer Metro Edition (from a UX perspective, the actual browser internals are horrible). I've also written all my own server-side componentry[1]. 1: https://github.com/fake-name/ReadableWebProxy
I use Calibre as an iTunes for ebooks from humble bundle, but this may look like a nice alternative for environments where Calibre it's too much. Thanks for sharing.
Calibre is fantastic for converting between eBook formats, but it’s a mediocre reader at best. (ITunes for eBooks is an apt description in this regard!)
Anyone knows if there is a ebook reader that supports Android/Linux and can sync book/progress between machines?
Very nice design and best thing, it's not an Electron app. I will definitely try this reader.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
What I love about Calibre is I can manage all my books there and open the network library from FBReader on my phone where I do all my reading.
FBReader was my go-to eReader app for a long time, but in the last few years (since they went closed source) they haven't added any useful (-to-me) features, but have added several advertisements (in the form of popups and in the menu). Still looking for an alternative
Working on open source is fantastic but most realistic projects are sponsored in some way or form. I doubt that sponsorship works works for an eReader app, so this is a good solution.
TLDR; our fellow developer deserves to get paid for their clearly awesome work.
