koreader VS Tachiyomi

An answer with a catch:

I ran rooted android phones for a long time, but have for the past few years been on GrapheneOS, which doesn't require Google Play, but allows you to use it while sandboxing it (so, harm reduction), and it's much less of a struggle now than it used to be.

The catch is that, at least currently, GrapheneOS only works on (Google) Pixel phones.

[On Kobos:— I agree on Kobo vs Kindle, and like Kobos a lot: but partially because I don't actually have to use Kobo's software if I don't want to. (See KOReader[0] and NickelMenu[1].)

Highlighting the very popular app enabled by this, KOReader: https://koreader.rocks/

Have you tired KOreader[0]? It supports multiple ebook formats, including epub and cbz. You'll need to jailbreak[1] your Kindle though.

I love my old Kindle Touch. The #1 thing that keeps me using it is a community-maintained e-reader software you can run on it that makes it much more usable without Amazon's support: http://koreader.rocks/

My #1 priority for new hardware nowadays is making sure it's not dependent on OEM software. Nothing sucks more than buying a device for a selected purpose, and then not being able to use it fully because some arbitrary remote service was shut down years ago.

Very happy with the result though, books are just synced automatically with my Macbook via Syncthing.

Hopefully somehow a similar setup will be possible with the new Kindles, if they can also be jailbroken.

PS. The Kindle Oasis 3 is still great in 2024, it even automatically adjusts brightness with its light sensor.

Get any Kobo and immediately install koreader:

Probably better to ask this in /r/Tachiyomi or post in their github

Have you looked into https://github.com/inorichi/tachiyomi? It integrates with Komga.

Hi there, I just checked our links on the "Read Manga!" page, and besides MangaDex, they all are working. As far as what I personally use, I use the Tachiyomi app on my phone. They automatically put in a good selection of manga libraries that you can download and read manga from. There are no ads and it's super easy to read on.

It shouldn't. You're not using Tachiyomi then. Only download Tachiyomi from official sources (or trusted unofficial ones), like https://github.com/inorichi/tachiyomi/releases

Q: Where to read the manga online? A: You can read on Guya.moe in high quality, on Android, IOS or PC. If you want to read on an app on Android then you can install Tachiyomi by downloading the apk file from here. Then follow these instructions.. There is no IOS app for now.
