   An ebook reader for the Miyoo Mini

   

   A few days ago I discovered https://github.com/ealang/pixel-reader which lets you read EPUB-s on the Miyoo Mini Plus retro gaming device with a 3.5" screen. I really enjoy reading on it.

   mirrored from git://git.ghostscript.com/mupdf.git (by ccxvii)

   mupdf is the mupdf of epub; it supports epub and other formats beyond pdf¹. When I've had really large files I've used mupdf to read them a few times, as it seems to be far better at handling them than other tools.

   7 399 17,984 9.8 Lua

   An ebook reader application supporting PDF, DjVu, EPUB, FB2 and many more formats, running on Cervantes, Kindle, Kobo, PocketBook and Android devices

   

   It's pretty good. You can highlight a passage and then it pops up a box for you to type in.

   However, Lua doesn't support native Android keyboards - so you have to use a virtual keyboard https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/7423

    Discontinued Selfhosted web manga reader.

    The closest thing I've seen to 'Plex for ebooks' is limited to manga/comics in .cbz/.cbr format: https://github.com/faldez/tanoshi . It's works reasonably well. Probably could be forked to add support for more general purpose reading use cases.
