+1 for librera

[–] INeedMana 6 points 10 months ago

Librera is great. A few pros:

half page display (to read one column at the time, a common layout in RPG rulebooks for example)
bookmarks
dark mode (pictures look funny but makes black-text-on-white into white-text-on-black)
tags and library management
autoscroll (I didn't think I would like it until I tried)
for ebooks you can set your own color schemes (if you prefer yellow text on gray background for example)

I don't know if muPDF Viewer is, technically, free software, but i use it for the completely minimal UI. You can only read and search, it's very limited in a good way.

It is, and you can get it on F-Droid. I like how quickly it loads while still having all necessary features.

You only need Librera Reader if you want an ebook library manager with dozens of customizable features. In which case, get it on F-Droid to get all of them for free.

I used to use MJ PDF, but recently switched to the built-in PDF reader for FOSS MiX file explorer.

Add KDE's repository to F-droid and download Okular.

Whoa I didn't know Okular had a mobile version. Thanks, gotta give it a try!
