About this app
Liseur is an open-source EPUB books reader for Android, and a client for calibre-web and Komga: a modern reader that is equally at home with the files on your phone and with your own book server.
👀 Reading * Paginated EPUB rendering through the Readium toolkit, full screen by default * Tap right to go forward, left to go back, the middle for the controls; volume keys work too * A whole page always fits the screen, with no stray scrolling to catch the last line * Four reading themes (Light, Sepia, Dark, Black), independent of the app's own theme * Four bundled open fonts or the publisher's own, plus size, line spacing, margins and brightness * Time left in the chapter, time left in the book, page or percentage, and a scrubber with chapter ticks
🪧 Marking up and looking up * Highlights in four colours, notes, and bookmarks with a corner ribbon * A notebook of everything you marked in a book, exportable as Markdown * Search the whole book, with snippets and jump-to highlighting * Definitions for any selected word, or a hand-off to an offline dictionary app. Online lookups are off until you turn them on, and you choose which Wiktionary edition or mirror answers them
📚 Your library * Index folders of EPUBs, covers and all * Books you are using sort to the front; finished ones get a tick * Pull to refresh picks up whatever changed behind the app's back
🌐 Your own server * calibre-web: one screen sets it up with URL, username and password, and Liseur works out the catalog, download rights and sync token * Komga: paste the server address and an API key * Your server's books merge into the same library with a cloud badge; tap one to download and open it * Reading positions sync both ways, through calibre-web's Kobo protocol or Komga's read-progress API * Remove the copy on the device, or delete the book from the server
🎉 Free software * No trackers, no analytics, no proprietary dependencies. The only network traffic is to the book server you configured and, if you switch online definitions on, to the dictionary site you chose.

What's new
- Version 0.14.0 gives you more control over typography and navigation, while making reading statistics useful across time periods and devices.
- ●Reading ・Fine-tune alignment, hyphenation, font weight, and letter, word, and paragraph spacing. Settings that a fixed-layout book cannot use are now disabled instead of appearing to do nothing (#122, #141).
- ・Tap the page number or percentage in the reader to jump directly to a position, with the current value selected in the dialog (#118, #127).
- ・Find reading appearance and navigation controls on their own settings screen (#131).
- ・Keep selected text readable in the Dark and Black themes (#119).
- ・Compare reading time with the matching part of the previous week, month, or year. Statistics now use calendar-aligned periods, show whether figures cover this device or all devices, and include books known only to the server (#116, #124, #130, #143).
- ・Choose whether to keep the server's position, keep this device's position, or cancel when a manual sync finds a conflict (#129).
- ●Library ・Books without a declared cover can use an embedded image named cover for their shelf artwork (#135).
- ●Fixes ・Keep search results and the contents list clear of the on-screen keyboard and display cutouts. ・Stop offering an upload after the server has already refused that book (#134).
