Is there a good android app thats dedicated to reading epubs from your ABS instance? I dislike a lot of things about the native reader in the native app and was wondering if there is something (‘Still’ seems good but its just for ios)

I usually use ReadEra for reading epubs (which is awesome) but i like the aspect of having my own cloud, not having to download every file manually and syncing my reading status.

Does not need to be free, I am willing to do one-time-payments for a good android reader app that connects to my ABS.

    As far as I’ve seen, it’s primarily designed for audiobooks, with ebooks just being tacked on. I’d advise to use a dedicated ebook service, e.g. Calibre.

    ABS is for audio books primarily (though they did introduce EPUB support). Unfortunately the API isn’t standard so you can’t just hack it into e.g. KOReader (though I have been working on a plugin for exactly that)

    I haven’t seen any app, not even corporate-owned ones, come close to the awesome iBooks app (as I understand it Apple nerfed it so I’ll say IOS 3 era iBooks). From what I’ve seen the ABS client is about as good as it gets, but I wish you luck in finding something even more polished.
