>also the AUR package is kinda brokenThat's a general Arch problem and not related t the Linux kernel.

>>109839251I see. I've used Foliate only in scroll mode, for which it's nice. Readest is also an option worth looking into.
>>109839058>but keyboard shortcuts and toggles often just randomly stops workingNever happened to me despite using it on a near daily basis
>>109839058The same is true on windows too.. hmm thanks for reminding me, going to have grok crank one out with natural language that can read text aloud, so many books I wanna get into but cant because I refuse to read shit, audio books on the other hand...
>>109839165That's insane.

Why do you need to read epub files on linux
I thought AI was supposed to fix all things. Why is there no application that does good + realistic voices offline with decent epub support so that I can listen to quality audiobooks without paying elevenlabs or other AI audio companies per second billing.

>>109839777Ok here have a cookie for posting about jeets again, you can fuck off nowI don't give a shit he's a jeet, I give a shit about niggerlicious design decisions. Don't pretend it's only the heckin' jeet boogeymen who do this. This shit is rampant in freetard spaces.

Use PDF. Linux doesn't need the scaling features of EPUB and native reader formats.
>>109839570so far so good, working on the apk first, so far it defaults to darkmode and low volume so no eyerape / ear rape, and it can read aloud in natural language using a neural engine on cpu only and supports importing custom voices, no spying obviously or phoning home, fully local on device, can pull text from epubs as well as different text file types and pdfs and can ocr off image files and read that out loud too, and of course it displays the text too, once android is fully working i will pump out a windows and a linux version with the same feature set, also supports custom theming for colors and text selection and button text /picrel from inslopdev app
>>109839227I use okular for mobi and djvu on windows too
>>109839058>but keyboard shortcuts and toggles often just randomly stops working1. press esc2. or get a new keyboard3. or try mupdf

>>109839218Readest is probably best usage-wise but its javascript reactslop garbage as is mandated for modern software. I'm boycotting it on principle>>109839227Arianna is pretty nice out of the box experience but super barebones in any customization. The fact that I can't set the reading from right to left makes me insane since I read manga and books in japaneseOkular is great if you use plasma but my god you are pulling so much bloat in dependencies its actually insane. Why the hell does it need kwallet??? What is this??I haven't tested koreader yet but will.
>>109840812kwallet popups is one of the reason I avoid kde
>>109840895You can disable those by installing kwalletmanager and setting it off there It's hilarious how bad things are
>>109840812>>109839570adding these features in as well.. got font picker too, with different supported font standards, added japanese to english optional translation for voice and text, and left to right reading for the jp manga text, almost done, just finishing the speech engine and adding three default themes with a nice shader pipline for that optional monochromatic amber goodness
background (undertext) is supported for gifs, still images webms, standard video and image files and webp and avif as well as walpaper engine (no wallpaper engine gyro / tilt implemented yet or aggressiveness slider thats last).
>>109839058Unironically just make one yourself. It'll take a few prompts at most.
>>109842321The devs prompting AI slop is the reason we get garbage like picrel.
>>109839410Because it's jeetware, but in this case no one can bitch about it because Calibre has been the most used ebook software tool in the planet for over a decade and not a single hwyte male ever even attempted something better.
>>109839058Werks in my machine
>>109842609More liek only jeets would ever use calibre because 100x better software predates it.

pdf text extraction and ocr finally working, posting all builds and source momentarily. i don't have a github, I'm just talking to grok on the website, posted screenie is with the monochrome theme mind it doesn't start that way
>>109839058>epubIt isn't a real format. That's why. They should just give the nonsense up and ship straight html and css already. It's utterly moronic.
>>109839058>even my "litterature" must be about tranimekys
I hate calibre with all my soul. Fuck jeets and fuck everyone who pushed this garbage being the most common library manager.Why the fuck would you duplicate your files. Clunky ass trash. The fucking jeet made the worst decisions in every aspect and somehow people looked at this garbage and thought it was good.

Ok so here's the stuffs the three builds and sources, can confirm apk working with 32 bit and 64 bit devices, the android build is the one i pumped the most effort into, but they are all universally functional.. more or less, only one i cant test is linux, but grok swears it ran internally and passed the reading test, i am tired.. nite nite.https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/bfe2e7a7ba37d5d0ae3dea1edda72e03e6d2ee77654602c63efee3b749220bad/detectionhttps://limewire.com/d/xmQuO#vxjcIdca7e

>>109839136>>109839165For fuck’s sake, I just finished setting up my kobo and Calibre library and was wondering why some books were shitting the bed. Might just fucking get rid of it and make a simple Kepubify automatic converter.Fucking Indian bonker shit.For anyone using a kindl, Calibre tags your converted books with a value by default that makes Kindle delete them after not being connected to the internet for a while (EBOK vs PDOC). covid basedfag knows about this and REFUSES to fix ithttps://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4448781&postcount=554

>>109845824Sumatra PDF on windows always worked well for me and opens a bunch of file types.
>>109846344Same here. I open epub's so infrequently that I haven't looked further than SumatraPDF. The ebook settings aren't conveniently surfaced and may involve editing a text file like a caveman IIRC, but it basically works.
>>109846344>>109846392I just googled it. Looks like it uses the same mupdf backend like zathura. Can you conveniently change font, etc.? Like on kindle. Because you can't do that on zathura.
