    for manga, I like kanjitomo for OCR, and for reading text on my phone I use a browser extension to generate epub from WNs or otherwise try and find an epub, and then use the typhon-kai reader (https://github.com/dajimenezja/typhon/releases) in android which can do dictionary lookups (I tried kiwi browser+ttu and also jidoujisho and both were pretty scuffed (Super laggy on large books, and triggered dictionary lookups while I was swiping to scroll down which was super annoying))
  • I read 200 books in Japanese!

    https://github.com/dajimenezja/typhon/releases if you're ok to manually install an APK. A bit clunky but it has the fastest dictionary lookups of any app. I read my first 20 books on this.
