ebook-reader VS jmdict-kindle

https://reader.ttsu.app/ + yomichan

ttu reader (github) is good for this.

An ebook reader specifically for Japanese that supports yomichan: https://github.com/ttu-ttu/ebook-reader

I eventually did most of my epub book reading with tsutsu reader and Yomichan, which was especially nice because you could import a variety of dictionaries, and instantly make Anki cards. At this point I was mainly using J-J monolingual dictionaries, and I needed multiple dictionaries as some words or idioms only appeared in certain dictionaries.

I read books using ttsu reader and a browser addon called Yomichan, it lets me lookup words by clicking on them. I use DeepL if I didn't understand a whole paragraph or section.

Reader for browsers (works with kiwibrowser for android e-readers) https://reader.ttsu.app/

Set up yomichan on kiwi browser and read literary anything on that. You have the entire internet there, you can even use https://reader.ttsu.app/ for epubs

Once you have the epub, you might be able to open it up into a web epub e-reader like https://reader.ttsu.app and use Chrome to MTL. (I haven't tried this myself)

If it's an epub file, you can open it with ッツ Ebook Reader, an online reader (github). The characters count is displayed at the bottom right.

Mostly cause I got a good workflow going and I buy most of my ebooks from amazon. I use stuff like this anki add-on to mine sentences (although I have kinda stopped doing this lately) and got this jmdict dictionary for kindle which is pretty nice. I could probably set up something with the Onyx Boox reader and yomichan like others have mentioned but at this point I'm too lazy. Also the kindle is smaller and more portable, the Boox I have is slightly larger and better for manga though.

Physical kindle is better because https://github.com/jmdict-kindle/jmdict-kindle will work much better (it works on Android too but does not support verbs well)

3- there's a jmdict kindle dictionary: https://github.com/jmdict-kindle/jmdict-kindle

I use JMDict for J-E dictionary.

I frequently found that the Kindle's Japanese-Japanese dictionary was too hard to understand (without a second dictionary), and the Japanese-English dictionary simply didn't recognise words. I finally waved the flag on learning via a Japanese-Japanese dictionary and tried out jmdict-kindle. It's way better! It recognises generally more words than either of the two dictionaries from before, displays the pitch accent (I cannot overstate how valuable this is for your speaking), and shows some handy example sentences.

I use this one which does its job well for me, especially that it detects inflected verbs and it's Japanese-English.
