... but I'm sure not all of you have seen it yet.
Basically you can keep all your books and web pages in one central repository, tag them, flag them or archive them and read them while keeping track of your reading.
It also supports highlights, annotations, etc.
It's also Open Source and free so have at it!
- acuozzo 8y agoHave you considered a web app version? I move around quite a bit and often don't have access to a PC on which I can install software.
- burtonator 8y agoYes... that and mobile but I have to do a significant amount of work to make that happen. I think probably web version first.
- raybb 8y agoDo you have any idea how it would work? I'm just curious. If you get started I hope you could find some frontend devs to help you out.
- darekkay 8y agoThanks, this looks like something I've been looking for lately. I'd only wished Polar would also support epub books. I couldn't find a reliable epub reader with annotations support for Windows so far.
- christiangenco 8y agoWhy not just `ebook-convert book.epub book.pdf`?
- darekkay 8y agoYes, it's a workaround, but I like ePubs, as they allow me to change the font size etc. at runtime.
