#CALIBRE EBOOK READER FOR ANDROID INSTALL#
KOReader software does not change unless you choose to install an update (like any other application on the Play Store), but you (or anyone else) can check that we're not logging sensible information and/or compromising you in any other way beyond random bugs (like any other software).Īre you aware that all release builds in android are signed with a private key and when signatures don't match Android will refuse to install the update?Ĭould you please explain why the "trend to use Github to host releases isn't sensible" ¿?Īnd yes, KOReader is a rolling-release software relying on user feedback for most improvements and bug reports (see ), since people commiting work don't have all devices supported by the software and/or don't use all features that the software has.Ĭool Reader has a really too featured GUI, which doesn't seem to change left & right margin in any consistent manner. If you carefully check the signatures they should match with github releases because they're the same build. KOReader builds are hosted on official repo and. Mozilla, Microsoft, Google etc have lost the plot on software development, treating ordinary users like an inhouse test group! Nor do I want an application that is ever changing. This trend to use it for end user distribution isn't sensible. Yes, though why doesn't the developer(s) host the build(s) somewhere sensible?

Other good alternatives are Coolreader, Librera Pro and Readera (the first two are free software, available at Fdroid, the third is freeware) The worst thing that can happen is that your history gets filled with non available ebooks. configure calibre to send books to that specific folder set the home folder to some folder inside /sdcard, like /sdcard/booksĢ. Saying that, KOReader can do what you want if you:ġ. Blame google, do not blame app developers. For an application POV having a homescreen or library often needs some kind of preproccesing. Apps that only import are following google best practices. First in 4.4 (removing the write access to places outside /sdcard) and again in 7.1 (removing the possibility of open files from other places without creating a copy (in cache or importing)ģ. Google restricted the interaction with files.
linux eink ereaders are using a usb mass storage module instead of android MTP. Connect to USB, make change in Calibre (add or remove book), eject and then simply open the app and find the book is in the "app" homescreen or "Library" under recent.Īpps that only "import" from somewhere else on the phone storage or need the phone's filemanagler are smelling of DRM or incompetence.ġ. I want an App on Android that as far as the App and Calibre is concerned, is like a physical ereader. I don't want to use a file manager or badly designed App menu. I've no wish to report what page I'm on or book is in use. Which results in pop-up error messages.īoth Adobe Editions DRM and Amazon Kindle app seem to be "spyware". I removed the Amazon Kindle App as it's trying to "connect home" even when it's not explicitly opened and with Mobiile data disabled. I'm not interested in connecting to servers etc, only USB just the way I use the Kindle/Kobo/Sony/Nook eink ereaders. However simply working like Kindle/Kobo/Sony/Nook with Calibre without annotation would be fine. That seems to be a premium feature on Aldiko. I don't usually have my phone online (and never other than WiFi), so the adverts in Aldiko or Bluefire (or both?) are rare.

So what epub app for Android (free as I have no payment method for Google Playstore and without adverts) works with Calibre to be able to install / remove ebooks without using evil menus on the app? I have a 6" Android phone, 7" Android tablet as well as a variety of eReaders.
So I've reformatted the SD Card as "expanding" internal storage. I'd have my SD card as external storage, but some older apps don't work at all with external SD card even for data. It's even more awkward to update ebooks I write and edit (via LibreOffice Writer -> Calibre). The problem is that it's awkward to import ebooks from Calibre via USB. I've Aldiko (OK for ePubs) and Bluefire (sort of does PDFS and ePubs).
