Trying out LWT
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.

PC Apps with Custom Dictionaries and Translators?
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.

Looking for a tool that simplifies adding new words to vocabulary list
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.

session statistics
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:
-
LingLibre, an opensource offline software to learn language by reading
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.
-
The best way to improve at languages
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.
-
Looking for Open Source epub-reader
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

using Jorkens on MacOS
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 ````

Give me a language learning app idea and I'll make it for you
Thanks for pointing out that it was confusing. Does this look better? https://github.com/mcthulhu/jorkens/wiki/Python-scripts-to-use-with-Jorkens

Ask HN: Best Open E-Reader?
Kobos[1] and Pocketbooks[2] are a lot more open than Kindles. AFAIK you can transfer .epub files into both devices and these epubs are perfectly readable via the stock OS. If for some reason you find the stock proprietary OS lacking, you can install an open source one like KOreader [3] or Plato[4]
Of course you want a good way of organizing epubs pdfs mobi, and like has already been mentioned Calibre[5] is a great option.

Majority of web apps could just run on a single server
Oh man I absolutely love the work that you guys do. I'm actually in the process of learning Ebook production using the 'Step by Step' guide on your website. I'm essentially learning it all from scratch as I have little to no programming/SWE experience (I learned a bit of Lua because of KOReader[1]) but the technical side of ebook production has always fascinated me enough to keep learning.

Wear OS "Hybrid" design has two OSes, two CPUs, "100 hour" battery life
Ha! I feel similarly, if not as eloquently.
Installed https://github.com/koreader/koreader on mine + enabled SSH server.

E-books are fast becoming tools of corporate surveillance
I read that KOreader is unstable on the Libra 2[0], so I haven’t installed it yet even though I would like to. What has been your experience running it?

First E-reader. I am thinking of buying Kobo Libra 2?
You can easily modify it (like adding KOReader).

Conversion from epub to kepub, and related Calibre use
I'm using Kobo Clara 2E (6" screen size), and it is unpleasant to read PDF and CBZ files (comic/manga) since Kobo only provides zoom and orientation mode. I installed KOReader on my Kobo. It has more setup to display those files way better. The views of PDF in KOReader and Comic in Koreader. I read Epub files in Koreader to maintain its original format.

Should I buy a kobo libra 2 or carla 2e for manga
I installed KOReader on my Kobo Clara 2E. KOReader is a document viewer to read PDFs and manga/comics. KOReader has more setup to display fixed-layout format in a way that is better than the native Kobo display (Kobo stock).

Calibre – New in Calibre 7.0
It doesn't try to solve the same use cases that Calibre does, but I built an open source (EPUB only) manager / reader / statistics tracker called AnthoLume [0]. It mostly stemmed from me reading in KOReader [1] on my Kindle, and not having the ability to sync the progress to my iPhone / iPad.
It's got metadata matching, support for multiple users, and statistics tracking which allows me to have a "Leaderboard" that shows how fast you read (words per minute). Fun competition between my wife and I (that I'm 100% losing). It's a Progressive Web App and utilizes a Service Worker to support 100% offline reading as well.
There's a demo server [2] (creds are "demo" for both user & pass).
