set the home folder to some folder inside /sdcard, like /sdcard/booksĢ. Saying that, KOReader can do what you want if you:ġ. Blame google, do not blame app developers. For an application POV having a homescreen or library often needs some kind of preproccesing. Apps that only import are following google best practices. First in 4.4 (removing the write access to places outside /sdcard) and again in 7.1 (removing the possibility of open files from other places without creating a copy (in cache or importing)ģ. Google restricted the interaction with files.
linux eink ereaders are using a usb mass storage module instead of android MTP. Connect to USB, make change in Calibre (add or remove book), eject and then simply open the app and find the book is in the "app" homescreen or "Library" under recent.Īpps that only "import" from somewhere else on the phone storage or need the phone's filemanagler are smelling of DRM or incompetence.ġ. I want an App on Android that as far as the App and Calibre is concerned, is like a physical ereader. I don't want to use a file manager or badly designed App menu. I've no wish to report what page I'm on or book is in use. Which results in pop-up error messages.īoth Adobe Editions DRM and Amazon Kindle app seem to be "spyware". I removed the Amazon Kindle App as it's trying to "connect home" even when it's not explicitly opened and with Mobiile data disabled. I'm not interested in connecting to servers etc, only USB just the way I use the Kindle/Kobo/Sony/Nook eink ereaders. However simply working like Kindle/Kobo/Sony/Nook with Calibre without annotation would be fine. That seems to be a premium feature on Aldiko. I don't usually have my phone online (and never other than WiFi), so the adverts in Aldiko or Bluefire (or both?) are rare. So what epub app for Android (free as I have no payment method for Google Playstore and without adverts) works with Calibre to be able to install / remove ebooks without using evil menus on the app? I have a 6" Android phone, 7" Android tablet as well as a variety of eReaders. So I've reformatted the SD Card as "expanding" internal storage. I'd have my SD card as external storage, but some older apps don't work at all with external SD card even for data. It's even more awkward to update ebooks I write and edit (via LibreOffice Writer -> Calibre). The problem is that it's awkward to import ebooks from Calibre via USB. I've Aldiko (OK for ePubs) and Bluefire (sort of does PDFS and ePubs).
