jorkens VS epr

That part of the program is just for convenience so the user doesn't have to install that Python script manually. It checks to see if it's there, and if not, downloads it from the GitHub site. For the time being, you could just download it yourself from https://github.com/mcthulhu/jorkens/wiki/files/stanza-lemmatizer.py and save it in the Documents/Jorkens/Python folder.

Have you looked at r/Jorkens? Jorkens is a desktop epub reader intended to support foreign language learners, with a number of different lookup functions (maybe too many). It also supports both online and local (in a SQLite database) dictionaries. https://github.com/mcthulhu/jorkens has a couple of screen shots.

There are online sites with reading tools like Readlang, LingQ, OPLingo, VocabTracker and also PC programs like Learning With Texts (unaffiliated fan-hosted web version here) and Jorkens if you don't mind pasting the text or using epubs/other local formats.

With the latest update to the source code on https://github.com/mcthulhu/jorkens, Jorkens will now, when closing, save statistics on the latest session in the database. These statistics consist of:

It's an interesting project, and looks very much like LWT. You might also be interested in looking at https://github.com/mcthulhu/jorkens, another assisted reading tool work-in-progress with similar goals.

That's my preferred approach, too. You might take a look at the second screenshot on https://github.com/mcthulhu/jorkens. Parallel ebooks are easier to hold.

Calibre has a perfectly good epub reader, but you could try Jorkens, still under active development (I'm the developer). It has functionality you may not need, but does support annotations and highlights. It's mainly for Windows, but it's an Electron app and also mostly runs on Linux and MacOS (some work to be done on this). https://github.com/mcthulhu/jorkens

git clone https://github.com/mcthulhu/jorkens.git cd jorkens nvm use 14.5.0 npm install # ends with error about electron builder npx electron-builder install-app-deps npm start ````

Thanks for pointing out that it was confusing. Does this look better? https://github.com/mcthulhu/jorkens/wiki/Python-scripts-to-use-with-Jorkens

However, if you don't need all the bells and whistles of Foliate and Koreader, and you are willing to carry out some trials and errors, consider exploring other simpler options like epr/epy, in Linux you can use any terminal of your choice, whereas in Android probably you'll be better off using Termux (a simple pip install epr-reader should do).

I occasionally use epr to read epubs in a terminal. Works pretty well.
