plato

https://github.com/baskerville/plato might interest you. I've yet to try it, personally.

I have a kobo ebook with [plato](https://github.com/baskerville/plato), it includes koreader but I found the built in mupdf much more intuitive and elegant.

KOReader is awesome and it's my go to for most e-reader reading. I've recently been trying out Plato (https://github.com/baskerville/plato) as well and it has a really nice experience for reading PDFs. It crops the margins and pages through the PDF in chunks nicely.

It's certainly an incredible gem, but I do find it quite bloated in features. Which is why I plan on trying https://github.com/baskerville/plato one of these days, to see if it does everything I need.

We also have the amazing Plato reader, like koreader but with a snapper UI and made exclusively for kobo and written in Rust by the guy responsible for bspwm. https://github.com/baskerville/plato

If you own a Kobo e-reader, check out the Plato reader [0], an unofficial document reader of Kobo devices. I find it interesting that it's written by the same person that wrote the bspwm window manager. It is one of my favorite pieces of software. The UI is beautiful and, to be honest, inspirational. It frequently reminds me that the best UI should not be noticed. Humbling. [0] https://github.com/baskerville/plato

>> It seems like all of these eink devices are designed that way. After going through 5 Kindles, I got a Kobo reader a few years ago, and couldn't be happier. It is more expensive than the Kindle because the price isn't subsidized, but the physical design is great, and I haven't broken it yet (I broke 4 Kindles through normal use). They support loading your own software on without any "jailbreak", and I use Plato (https://github.com/baskerville/plato), which renders documents significantly faster than the stock reader.

Kobos[1] and Pocketbooks[2] are a lot more open than Kindles. AFAIK you can transfer .epub files into both devices and these epubs are perfectly readable via the stock OS. If for some reason you find the stock proprietary OS lacking, you can install an open source one like KOreader[3] or Plato[4] Of course you want a good way of organizing epubs pdfs mobi, and like has already been mentioned Calibre[5] is a great option.

Does this support OPDS by any chance? I'm the creator of Kavita and one of the biggest pain points is lack of OPDS (and page sync afterwards) with the big reading servers (Kavita, Komga, Calibre). Edit: Found the issue, it's under consideration: https://github.com/baskerville/plato/issues/69

KOReader is nice. There's also Plato[0] for Kobo, which unlike the Kobo Libra 2 stock reader and KOReader didn't choke on an .epub with the entire Bible in one xhtml file. [0]: https://github.com/baskerville/plato

I noticed some similarities in the source code to https://github.com/baskerville/plato/ Is there some common source for Kobo-compatable rust code that you both drew from, or was plato the original source? EDIT: Nevermind, should have looked closer, you already called out that you drew from plato > The code responsible for rendering to the eInk display is written by baskerville and taken from https://github.com/baskerville/plato

Kobos let you install custom book-reading software without too much hassle. KOReader[0] is the most popular one. I like it because it allows for a ton of customization, can properly render pretty much any EPUB you throw at it (much better than stock), and can reflow PDFs (using K2pdfopt[1] under the hood). But there are some other alternatives, including Plato[2] (simple, easy to use, fewer features) and PBChess[3] (closed source, play chess on your Kobo). The MobileRead forums[4] are quite active, you'll find a lot more there.

Alternative reader applications like koreader and plato open up more customization than the default reading app allows for. https://github.com/koreader/koreader https://github.com/baskerville/plato

The author seems to have missed KoReader (http://koreader.rocks) and Plato (https://github.com/baskerville/plato), both of which are not user-hostile and work on Kobo and ReMarkable.
