I’m using Thorium at present. Not thrilled with it.

I like Koreader. It’s a pain for the first hour of setup, but it runs so much faster than the other ones I’ve tried: Moon+, Aldiko, and a couple of open source ones that bugged out too often.
I use Foliate on desktop, generally pretty good.
But I do most of my reading with Librera on Android, though it has an annoying bug where switching to it with the app switchers glitches out.

Unfortunately, I’m a Windows user.

Windows build #115
One comment on that issue:
If you’re looking for similar functionality and the style of reading on macOS or Windows, I’m excited to introduce Readest—a modern rewrite of Foliate UI built with Next.js on Tauri v2.0. Readest is inspired by Foliate’s simplicity and rich feature set, but with added cross-platform support. It’s designed to run seamlessly on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

I’ve never used it myself, but maybe it’d be of interest to you.
Thank you!
Nook Glowlight 3, which I’ve had since release in 2017
I had such high hopes for Barnes and Noble’s e-readers - they were super well positioned to dominate the market, but instead decided to make half-assed tablets. It was soul crushing
Sony PRS-350 😀
It’s old, but I am not a big e-book reader. Will probably get a Kobo one once this dies.
Edit: Just read other comments and noticed that you are talking about software, not hardware. Sorry, don’t read e-books on computer or mobile, unless it’s a webnovel, in that case, simple browser or official app of the site.
Sony club! I use whichever was the second to last release (TP2 or something). Over a decade old, battery still lasts a few weeks, and it just works.
Yeah, it’s a pretty neat device. Don’t have any issue with it.
Tolino (Kobo but branded for German market). Love it and haven’t had any other complaints except that the initial page is fixed and can’t be changed.
It’s a couple years old but this may help with the splash screen. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=345280
Ah sorry I meant the initial page that loads after the splash screen - I’d like to switch from the “Start page” to “my library” when I wake the device.
Nevertheless, cool tip on the linked page, thanks for sharing! Might play around with that aswell ;)
If there’s anyone who knows how to modify that it would be on that forum. They are crazy smart and the kobo section has a bunch of people there.
You are right, this resource is gold! Thank you so much!
Might have found a solution from that site… Got to try hacking a bit tomorrow. Didn’t know I can access the settings to easily when connecting to it via PC.
