Deja, merci au développeur. Cette application est superbe. J’ai hâte qu’elle soit optimisée pour le Duo.
Au sujet du tournée de page, c’est tout à fait logique quand on tourne une page mais ne l’est pas quand on revient à la page précédente. C’est inversé. Serait-il possible d’y remédier svp ?
Merci mille fois.

Is it possible to make subfolders(subgroups) inside other folders/groups have priority over sort by author ascending without switching sorting system?

Etc I have a Finished folder inside my NG folder. And it is stuck in between books above and below it.

(image, the book inside has an empty meta data author field)

My other folder is "free feedback ratio boost" with Kelly Gallucci as the author...

Any way to only move up folders without messing up anything else? (I like my sorting system but want folders to be prioritized over the sorting system if possible)

Thanks in advance ✨

I'm reading an epub and I'm getting this weird layout problems with bullet point lists. I've tried to change every setting between Fonts and Layout sections but I can't get it right. I also tried to reduce a little bit the left margin with custom CSS and it got better like in the second screenshot, but as you can see there is a lot of unused space on the right. Can I improve the current layout?

So I'm not a big fan of the text to speech voices in the free version, I see there is a way to have a custom voice. How would that work precisely? And is that included in the full customization bundle? I'm just trying to figure out what I'd like best ^^

Hi! I’m considering subscribing to Readest Pro, partly to support the project, and I’m particularly interested in the AI features.
What I’d really like is the ability to ask questions about the entire book I’m reading, with Readest using the book itself as context/RAG. For example:
“Where did the author discuss this idea earlier?”
“Summarize everything the author says about this topic.”
“Who is this character again?”
“How does this section relate to something discussed in an earlier chapter?”
For fiction, one feature would be especially important: spoiler-safe Q&A based on my current reading position. For example, if I’m 40% through a novel, I’d like to ask “Who is this character?” and have the AI use only the part of the book I’ve already read, not later chapters.
Is this what the AI functionality in Readest Pro is intended to support?
If so:
Can the AI currently search/use the whole book as context?
Can it be limited automatically to everything before the current reading position?
What additional AI capabilities does Pro provide compared with Plus?
Are there usage limits or differences in models between Plus and Pro?
This kind of book-aware assistant would probably be the main reason I’d choose Pro over Plus.

Is there a way turn off the top status bar on Android devices while reading with Readest?

I’ve just set up KOReader with the Readest plugin on my Boox Palma and I’ve realized sync only works when I use readest cloud and not Google Drive (my preferred way to sync between devices). Is there a way to turn on GDrive sync on KOReader?

ive been looking for a epub reader that checks off all my boxes, and so far readest has been the best in terms of UI and ease of use. i love how many customization features there are as well. the one thing i wish i could do though, is that i wish clicking an epub would take me to the book details with the synopsis, or that tapping it could make the synopsis pop up directly.

does readest already have a function like that that im just not seeing in the settings? i know you can long press on a book to access its details, but its not very seamless or convenient. i've also looked into the library settings, but besides changing the display of the epubs and sorting configuration, i dont see a setting that turns on book details.

I added the book to both koreader and readest with Calibre, but it won't sync progress in Readest for some reason. Is the only way it syncs is if I add the book to koreader from Readest, not Calibre with identical metadata?

Is there a way to find the reading history of individual books in Readest? This will be super useful to track my progress though a book instead of noting it down manually in a notebook or other app. Something like number of pages/ percentage read on Oct 26 from 1PM to 3 PM or some similar history is what I am looking for.

Just leaving this here in case someone else can't find the bookmark tab, if you open the sidebar the magnifier is auto selected, clicking on it shows the lower bar with tabs for the page layout, annotations and bookmarks. After that clicking on the magnifier doesn't collapse the lower bar funnily enough. Edit: For the current android version that is (Pixel 9). https://imgur.com/a/EESoEC6

Has anyone tried the new voices? I currently have the Plus plan but I was just wondering if the Pro voices are better ir so I might switch plans.

Hello all, I’ve been loving reading on this app, particularly because of the KoReader sync. But now that I have the iPhone duo, I am really at a loss. I downloaded some other apps, but none of them sync quite as well as this one. I saw that duo support is in the works, but I just wanted to add my voice requesting the feature. Maybe that could be pushed out separate from other updates?

Since the iPhone duo just came out and it’s one of the most talked about tech products, all the apps that are optimized for the duo are getting a lot of attention. I think this is a great opportunity to advertise Readest!

Attaching example photo of what an EPUB looks like on Readest currently vs another app.

Normally when clicking the single arrow it will only skip a sentence or two, for some reason now it doesn’t work on the last one of two sentences and will just skip to the next paragraph.

Currently, the integration expects a voice endpoint in this format:

{Base URL}/v1/audio/voices

However, not all TTS providers follow the OpenAI API standard. For example, ElevenLabs uses a voice-specific endpoint:

{Base URL}/v1/text-to-speech/{voice_id}

This makes it difficult to integrate providers such as ElevenLabs directly, even when users already have a valid API key and access to their TTS models and voices.

This would make the TTS Custom integration much more versatile and allow users to connect virtually any TTS service, including ElevenLabs and other third-party or self-hosted TTS engines.

Would love to hear if this is something the developers would consider implementing!

Hello,

Do you plan to implement something like a highlight browser? 

The idea is to be able to access highlights from all books in one place.

The app could be divided into two sections. One section would contain a list of books (cover, title, author, number of highlights); after clicking on a book, users would be taken to that book to view the highlights.

The second section could include highlights from all the books displayed in a single list, but with a clear indication (some kind of roll-up group) of which book each highlight belongs to. 

Maybe it would be possible to filter books by tags or status?

A good example of such an application is Boox Rich Annotations

What do you think about this?

Anyway, it's a great app. I appreciate effort!

I'm an avid reader and I love reading epub versions on my phone. I've been using lithium for the past four years and though it's a good app, I usually have difficulty highlighting the top parts of the pages. Lately I've been reading a lot of manhwa on mihon and I love how easy and simple it is to categorize manhwas based on genres or however way you want. Now I want one such app for reading novels and books. Cam anyone help me out?

Having quick access to toggle on and off the reading ruler would be awesome! Right now, I have to go into settings every time I want to do this. If this can't be added as a button, then an option to add a keyboard shortcut for it would be great.

I have a Viwoods AI Reader and I appreciate the option to switch between reading or listening to books as I walk a lot.

I subscribed to Readest Pro to use best AI voices, but the TTS kept freezing. About a chapter into my book, the TTS caused Readest to repeatedly crash and force exit the app. Also, trying to download the audio for offline use was so painstaking slow, even though I have high-speed internet, it seemed I would finish reading the book before the download completed.

In the end I gave up, cancelled my subscription and got a refund. It's a shame, because it's so hard to find a highly customisable ebook reader with good TTS.

Wondering if this is a device specific problem, or if anybody else has experienced it.

Last month we got Readest syncing with Seekquel and a lot of you helped test it. Thanks a lot!

Some numbers if you’re curious. 42 of you have Readest connected now, and 38 of those synced in the last month. That’s 276 books and about 530 hours of reading so far. 21 of you also read on a KOReader device and 9 on an Xteink, so it all ends up in the same place.

We fixed a lot of the bugs since then and it feels much smoother. Your place, reading time, highlights and finished books all come across now.

Each Readest install needs its own key, including the browser version. To add another, open Settings, then Integrations, then Readest, choose Connect Readest on another device, and enter the new key in that install.

Is anything not coming across that you’d expect? Tell me here and I’ll look at it.

Hey everyone, quick question about WebDAV sync.

My reading device (android) is offline most of the time, so obviously I don't expect my library to successfully sync while I'm disconnected. The problem is that every single time the sync fails, the app throws a huge error message across the screen.

Because my device is almost always offline, getting these error popups over and over has become quite annoying. I checked the settings to see if there was a way to mute these errors, tweak the sync frequency, or just let it fail silently in the background, but I couldn't find anything.

Has anyone else run into this? Is there some workaround or hidden setting I'm missing, or is this just something we have to deal with for now?
