Off the top of my head, this needs:
Table of Contents support with working links; per-user storable bookmarks; font and color control; margin control; multiple methods of page turning; a non-bookshelf library index (I have over a thousand authors, most of whom have more than one book -- any interface needs to be usable by someone with a library of ten thousand books); and probably a partridge in a pear tree.
But it looks like a good core on which to build.
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoDue to sheer volume of books, I have no intention to browse my ebooks at this juncture personally. Search is the only option if you're in the 10k book range, IMHO. LibreRead supports both metadata search and full-text search. (Though the latter requires a lot more RAM.)
- nerdponx 9y agoWhat if you categorize and tag your collection? I like lots of overlapping tags, and I like using tags to filter. I personally hate search.
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoI am actually neurotic and have a database with not only tagging, but Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress classification fields. ;) I also usually still use search... I just search for the tags I am looking for. LibreRead probably could use some tagging and categorization fields in the metadata, but that is the sort of features that should be relatively easy to add later.
- arstin 9y agoYea I usually don't even know exactly what I'm looking for. I'd love an ebook reader which can nail something roughly like the experience of browsing library stacks.
- asciimo 9y agoI would love a reading room with a projector that turns a blank wall into a bookcase. It could interact with software on a tablet to "pull" books off the shelf and browse them on the tablet. It could even be responsive to gestures to roll, sort, etc. It seems like we have all the technology to something like this; calibre, Kinect, camera and projector?
