Hey all!
I just came across this a few minutes ago—looks amazing. It’s the only application of its kind I’ve seen that includes text-to-speech out of the box!
I’m sure a lot of people don’t mind, but I’m going to avoid it due to its collection of usage data in the privacy policy. Really wish this didn’t exist in apps that just format the contents of a file.
Especially geolocation data…
This seems to be a Foliate fork. I have a blurry font problem with Foliate and couldn’t use it for a while, but this one doesn’t have that bug. Thanks for sharing.
Important to note, looks like the server component is not self-hostable (and the client doesn’t E2E encrypt).
Another privacy nightmare.
So apparently you need to sign up for Sync feature, and the Sync server is not self-hostable…

Alternatively there is BookStory for Android
I would recommend Librera FD for android. BookStory is still very early in development.
but it looks and feels so much better
It has a smoother UI but idk if it’s a nornal ebook reader. It scrolls horizontally, no page turning, no txt to speech, not much font settings, no sync and so many more basic features. I haven’t checked it recently so idk how many of these were added.
