I’m using Thorium at present. Not thrilled with it.

My kobos acting up registering false touches so I’ve been using my phone and moon+ which I bought years ago now.
Kinda miss e-ink so it’s a stopgap.
ReadEra on my tablet, and I think just a FireFox extension on the PC. I don’t remember exactly what made me move from Aldiko to ReadEra, but I liked it enough to grab the paid version. Sources are all from MAM, so I’m not sure about options that let you buy & download in-app.
This. Even the free version is great.
I have a Kindle ebook reader, though I don’t use it much. I prefer reading on my computer, where I use the PDF reader Zathura and Thorium Reader for EPUBs.
Pocketbook Era Color and sometimes a Verse colour. Phenomenal little thingy. I love them both.
Kobo is best ko
Kindle Oasis - bought it years and years ago, still has free internet connectivity; just use Z-Library to email books to it, and tell wife that she has more stuff to read. I’ve still got all the epubs on the PC so no worries if I gotta swap to something else later.
Z library still works? I can’t find their URL anymore.
They have a tor application for the desktop.
Tolino (Kobo but branded for German market). Love it and haven’t had any other complaints except that the initial page is fixed and can’t be changed.
It’s a couple years old but this may help with the splash screen. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=345280
Ah sorry I meant the initial page that loads after the splash screen - I’d like to switch from the “Start page” to “my library” when I wake the device.
Nevertheless, cool tip on the linked page, thanks for sharing! Might play around with that aswell ;)
If there’s a one who knows how to modify that it would be on that form. They are crazy smart and the kobo section has a bunch of people there.
You are right, this resource is gold! Thank you so much!
Might have found a solution from that site… Got to try hacking a bit tomorrow. Didn’t know I can access the settings to easily when connecting to it via PC.
Google books/moon reader
Sony PRS-350 😀
It’s old, but I am not a big e-book reader. Will probably get a Kobo one once this dies.
Sony club! I use whichever was the second to last release (TP2 or something). Over a decade old, battery still lasts a few weeks, and it just works.
Yeah, it’s a pretty neat device. Don’t have any issue with it.
I don’t read on desktop, but I use Pocketbook Reader on my tablet. Free with no ads, and lets me use any colors I want, override terrible embedded fonts and cramped line height, change margins, etc. It does have a couple of quirks that annoy me from time to time, but I haven’t found a replacement I like better.
I use Librera on my phone and Calibre on my desktop, with FBReader for those pesky lcpl files from NetGalley.
i also use koreader on my phone
My 10+ year old Kindle Paperwhite 2 keeps living on, and I will use it until the day it dies for real.
Me too. Kindle is so cheap and easy to use. I know everyone hates Amazon but Kindle is a very solid product.
I use Foliate on desktop, generally pretty good.
But I do most of my reading with Librera on Android, though it has an annoying bug where switching to it with the app switchers glitches out.
I use Foliate on desktop, generally pretty good.
Unfortunately, I’m a Windows user.
Shame, I can’t help then as I haven’t daily drove Windows since 2018, so, *checks date*, seven years ago, fuck.
Though apparently, you can install Linux GUI apps via WSL.

Windows build #115
One comment on that issue:
If you’re looking for similar functionality and the style of reading on macOS or Windows, I’m excited to introduce Readest—a modern rewrite of Foliate UI built with Next.js on Tauri v2.0. Readest is inspired by Foliate’s simplicity and rich feature set, but with added cross-platform support. It’s designed to run seamlessly on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

I’ve never used it myself, but maybe it’d be of interest to you.
Thank you!
Kobo Libre 2. I replaced an ancient backlit Kindle when it died and wouldn’t give Jeff Bezos any more money. The only gripe I have is that the dark mode toggle is one level deep in the menus and not on the main screen.
