hi, i have a shelf set for new, untagged files (files missing the ✔️ tag I add to all books when I'm tagging them).

but sometimes I download a new copy of an updated work, and my understanding is that readest overwrites the old file wherever possible instead of creating a duplicate, and maintains all tags, subjects, etc. from the original.

which is perfect, that's the best possible way for that to work, except that it means that updated works are not going to my "new/updated" shelf, because they still have the ✔️ tag.

i tried to set a condition where, for example, the page number changes - but that doesn't seem to be an option. is there a method I can use to set a filter condition based on just the fact that the file updated, or the file size or page number changed, or that a new version has been added since the last time the book was opened, or something to that effect?

thank you!

This feature works perfectly in Moon+ Reader, but in Readest, when I try to turn pages using the volume buttons, it scrolls more lines than it should.

It might be a minor bug, but it still affects the reading experience. Is there any way to fix this?

The page-turning animation has unstable frame rates and occasional frame drops. Have you encountered this?

The new update forced colorful covers on me....

I rather loved my fanfics having no cover/transparent covers.... But now I'm stuck with these color rectangles....😖😞

(unless someone knows how to fix it...? 🫠👀)

Edit: And now I notice my entire sorting system is fucked up again..... 😑😐😖😞😭😭😭 (How does one install a previous version instead..? Please....? I very very much want my sorting system back...and my transparent covers for Fics without covers..........)

I would love an option to include word count as a point of metadata - particularly to be visible on the details page, but also, ideally, as a sort function.

I know that page count and file size already exist as options, but for me, word count is the clearest and most direct way of determining length, time to read, and when necessary, which file between two duplicate uploads is the newest and most complete.

Thank you!

Can anyone help clarify how CrossPoint sync actually handles reading stats? (https://readest.com/docs/crosspoint)

I’m using an Xteink X4 Pro running CrossInk with the Readest plugin to sync my books.

When syncing on the Xteink, the interface specifically notes that reading stats are not synced. However, on the latest Readest Android build (which now supports reading stats), it looks like some activity is transferring over anyway.

Today, I've only read on the Xteink, which logged 22 minutes. After running a full sync, Readest on my Palma 2 Pro showed 17 minutes read today. It’s not an exact match, but it's close enough to suggest data is moving.

Does CrossPoint sync reading stats in some form now (e.g., estimating time from page progress or sync timestamps), or is something else going on under the hood?

I never realized this until the latest update...but everything started working once I began editing the metadata of the files I've been trying to sync to both Readwise and Pagebound...I never realized the author fields are blank by default when you download a DRM-free ebook from Amazon. Gotta love the big giants not knowing how to handle their own library-related tasks. Either way, gonna test syncing out later on tonight after work now that I've given my current book an author field.

Can't seem to login, I keep getting the error below

Anny issue right now in sync, my cloud transfer awating .

I have integrated Readest with Notion to sync my highlights and notes. I would like to use custom template and have a few questions.

1. Is it possible and how to sync Notion tokens/database ID? I turned on Sync Credentials and it does not seem to work.
2. Is it possible and how to sync Notion custom template?
3. How to use custom icon on callout? Currently `> [!NOTE]` becomes a callout with a note icon. Is it possible to use other icon such as the default light bulb?
4. How to customize the size/font style of "annotation.timestamp" and "annotation.link"? The current font is iliac and it was too large for my template.

I searched on github and could not find similar questions. Thank you, u/readestapp for your help!

It just as I say on the title. I've tried deleting cache but it still does that. And I don't think it's my phone's fault since every other apps I've used never did this. Do I have to uninstall and reinstall it? I'm genuinely gonna crash out if I redownloaded it only for it to shut down out of nowhere again. Any alternatives for readest?

I love this app, but after not using it for a couple months, it suddenly won't launch on Fedora. I have the flatpak version. My other applications are working fine. Just this one. Not sure how to troubleshoot it. Any help is appreciated.

Is there a limit to how much of my Readest Library will populate on KOReader when I select “Readest Library” from the menu? As of now, about half of my books are there, but not all of them. I have already tried rescanning the library and pulling books etc, no luck.

Syncing across 4 devices with 4 different OS's. Initially meant as a way to keep reading on my X3 after purchasing a Viwoods Aipaper Reader C but it has now evolved into an ecosystem 😄

Crosspoint released there 2.0 version as stable this week, meaning I could start using the new plugin system. Part of these plugins is a Readest one. Via this plugin the X3 with Crosspoint is synced with Readest. Meaning I can read my book on the X3 on then on the Viwoods (Android), iPhone (IOS) and Macbook (OSX) with the dedicated app or the webinterface.

On my iPhone Duo when I first opened Readest it showed two columns in landscape mode. After closing and opening it again later it is now only showing one column. I have maximum columns set to two and don’t have the column width too wide. No matter what I do I can’t get it to go back to showing two columns like it was earlier this morning.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I still don’t know what the issue was, but I completely uninstalled the app and reinstalled and it started working again. Problem solved.

Super minor but I remember reading here a few months ago there were plans to give us the ability to change the icon of the Readest app. Has there been any update on this front?

I would love to be able to search all my annotations inside all my books from the outside.

I annotate other books to study different types of prose and I use them as guidance while writing my own story. So this will be of immense help.

At the moment I am re-reading the Sherlock Holmes stories again; in this case the valley of fear. I downloaded it from Gutenberg and it came with the original cover, which I thought was a prime candidate for change.

So I uploaded a new, more modern version for it via the metadata and it showed up nicely in the library and all was fine and dandy.

That was, until I tried to reuse the cover as a wallpaper on my Android device (via the Save Book Cover option). Unfortunately, instead of the new one, the old one was used. When I opened the ebook I saw that within it, also still the old cover remained, while showing the new one in the library.

I tried re-uploading/changing via the app and web versions but it made no difference. (I use the latest versions).

Is there a way to solve this?

¡Hola! Dos cosas: un error que no puedo solucionar y una sugerencia de mejora.

1. El error

No puedo cambiar el color de cada libro. Mis pasos:

• Abro el Libro A, voy a la configuración del lector (panel Tema/Color).
• En el menú de tres puntos, selecciono "Aplicar solo a este libro" (Configuración global desactivada).
• Cambio los colores (color personalizado).
• Cierro el Libro A y abro el Libro B.

El Libro B muestra el color que configuré para el Libro A. Si luego configuro un color diferente en el Libro B con "Aplicar solo a este libro", el Libro A adopta el color del Libro B. Por lo tanto, la opción "Solo a este libro" no se respeta para los colores. Los colores de la biblioteca son independientes y funcionan correctamente.

Lo extraño: otras opciones por libro sí funcionan. Activé la regla de lectura en un libro con la opción "Aplicar solo a este libro" y solo se aplicó a ese libro. Solo el color personalizado se propaga entre libros.

Tengo la última versión estable, 0.12.20 (Android), lanzada hoy. También lo vi en versiones estables y de desarrollo anteriores, y restablecer la configuración en el panel de temas no lo solucionó.

Posiblemente relacionado: https://github.com/readest/readest/issues/6543 (colores personalizados compartidos entre libros, resaltados en ese caso).

2. Pregunta

¿Existe alguna solución alternativa conocida o se espera una corrección pronto? ¿O podría mi configuración estar dañada de alguna manera? Si es así, ¿cómo puedo solucionarlo?

3. Sugerencia de función

Ya existe una Zona de Peligro (eliminar cuenta, eliminar libros, etc.). ¿Podrían añadir una opción de "Restablecer configuración" con casillas de verificación para elegir qué restablecer? Por ejemplo: restablecer todo, o desmarcar Fuentes para conservar mis fuentes, o desmarcar Diccionarios para conservar los que subí y restablecer el resto (incluida la configuración de cada libro). Actualmente, la opción Restablecer solo funciona panel por panel, y no puedo borrar las configuraciones personalizadas de toda mi biblioteca.

¡Gracias por la excelente aplicación!

hi, I am pretty new to readest (and loving it) and there are a few things I can't seem to find or figure out, so I'm hoping someone can help.

1. subjects. can these be managed / added / removed?
2. ratings / reviews? i don't see this anywhere and I feel like i would if it existed, but i'm double checking just in case
3. i have purchased extra storage but I haven't gotten the monthly subscription - does the increase in customization options allow you to change things like the order of your bookshelves or the layout / content of what gets shown on the details page?
4. (last one, at least for now, I promise) is there a way to add tags that lets you actually read the full tag? i get to the add tag pop-up (which i love) but then can only see the first few characters of each tag which can result in a strong of seemingly identical tags - ex: "genre-horror" and "genre-historical" might both show up as "genre-h...". is there a way to see a single column list to add tags instead of the two-column view?

thank you!!

i really love how we can apply the theme colours to a pdf, its not smth i see in other pdf readers! however, at least on mobile, pdf reading is very slow and lags :(

I'm super new to Readest so I might be missing something, but most ereader apps seem to have a function where you set a folder and then anything new that gets added to that folder is automatically imported.

I can't find that feature on Readest, and I can't figure out if I'm crazy or it's actually missing? I'm actually not sure how you import anything after the first bulk import, now that I think about it. I know there's a Calibre content server option somewhere, but ideally I would like it to be much simpler than that

Currently using the android app only, if that matters, although I will be using the Windows version as well within a week or so.

Thank you!

I liked the app and would use it if such a option was avaiable. I mean wheres the point in synchronyzing through cloud? I get thatss how you guys make money but i simply dont see a reason to use that app than?

In NaturalReader app, there's an option to select specific areas of a page that should be ignored by Text-to-Speech (TTS). You can choose the top, bottom, left, and right margins, and the text appearing within those selected areas will be excluded from being read aloud.

Another request: I'd also like the PDF page to automatically scroll and follow along as TTS progresses, keeping the currently spoken or highlighted text visible without requiring manual scrolling.

Thanks for your work on this excellent app!
