  • The books I tend to consume on my phone are in the form of audiobooks via Libby from the libraries I have access to. My local library also has Hoopla, but the app feels more clunky and overwhelming and it costs the library more so I try all other options before turning to Hoopla. I do most of my book and manga reading an e-ink android device.

    I prefer how text flows on my device’s stock reader more (Neoreader for Onyx/Boox devices), but KOREADER is a very cool project and the community for plugins is phenomenal. It’s available on tons of devices from the big name eink devices (Kindle via modding, Kobo, Pocketbook) to arm linux based gaming handhelds via portmaster. It’s like the rockbox of reading software lol

    I also want to bring up the Queer Liberation Library. I don’t know if this is a useful resource for you specifically but it is there. Wait times tend to be longer compared to my more local libraries, but I find it to be a great curation and it’s an invaluble resource for those who need it!

    Komikku is my tachiyomi/mihon fork of choice for manga that’s scanlated (or if I can’t bother torrenting), but if I need image dithering I swap to neoreader after downloading.

    Congrats on wanting to get into reading more btw! /genuine



  • I use TrinketOS for organizing and navigating apps, and Daijisho for launching most emulated games on my RP5.

    I’ve used Niagara in the past and tried out Olauncher, but I’ve landed on YAM Launcher for my Boox Go Color 7 since I can set it to use my cutesy system font.hehe :3cI still use the stock Onyx Launcher for the bookshelf though. I configured it so that a swipe from left to right in YAM Launcher opens the Onyx Launcher for my bookshelf and it just feels like a book drawer, the font being consistent between launchers makes it feel really cohesive and intentional.
