I've been waiting for something like this for ages, before I'd convert the books to txt files and read them with moonshll2 on a DS flashcart, but my flashcart has taken to crashing and loosing it's connection with the sd card.

A bookmarking feature will make this a must have replacement.

Edi1: Does the app support subfolders under Root/Books ? As that'd be handy for organising your ebooks, or is this a potential feature for a later version?

Edit2: What is the largest filesize can this ebook reader tolerate so I know how to split them with the Caliber conversion.

Edit3: Seems my ebooks are still crashing the app even after using Caliber to convert them...

Sigil confirmed that they are epub2, however I managed to get Caliber to create a folder with opf and METADATA, so will zip those and try it that way!

Edit1: Ok in a .zip format the ebook reader can't even see them, and selecting the blank space causes a crash!

So really a rename ".zip" to ".epub" after zipping the Calibre conversion?

Edit2: ok so neither Calibre or Sigil saved them as an epub3, and a zipped version of the extras calibre created don't seem to count as an epub 3 either.

Edit3: Sigil needed an external plugin, testing that now.

Edit4: Yup here's the plugin for Sigil: https://github.com/kevinhendricks/ePub3-itizer
Works fine after using that!

So I put the bookmark and the epub file in the books folder. I tried to load it on the app but it wouldn't. The book is 224 pages long and I waited for like 90 minutes. Did I do something incorrectly or should I have waited longer?

Judging by that the last post before yours 2 years ago also had messed up I am guessing it is the app that dont work. Aswell as the OP hasnt been seen since 2018, i dont think this app is going to get updated or fixed.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
