I recall looking Readium as an alternative to EPUB Reader some time back. IIRC I had the same 'philosophical' problem with it as I have with EPUB Reader - it buries the books in Users/BetterRed/Appdata...Chrome/???. Also I prefer to keep my Chrome install as vanilla as possible - ie no add-ons. I've discovered that LuciDor (I only found it today) lets me nominate where its to save/look for books - so for now, its goodbye EPUB Reader hello LuciDor. It also enfolds Firefox's built-in PDF Reader into itself - which is nice, I think Good luck with Readium (I think I know why its has appeal for you) - but if it doesn't work out, then one of the others in the list will hopefully do the job. And good luck with the book. If you wanted to 'integrate' Readium into Calibre, then you should be able to do that via the Open With (← click) plug-in.

note the slant on fixed
in this usage, that means go away at any time. You can't ask for your money back when unsupported or unadvertised features disappear because you were never sold those in the first place. |

I do zero marketing here. I'm here for two things: to hang out with fellow bookmakers, on a professional level, and to help noobs from time to time. The people who come here aren't looking for conversion firms, and as I said, I'm not here to "sell myself" to anyone. Hopefully, this is one of the very few places that I can hang out and be myself. I found your statement pretty hilarious, all things considered, so why shouldn't I comment on it? Sorry if it put your knickers in a twist. Nor did I see any need to be "helpful," as others were addressing your issues and comments quite competently. Hitch |

It is true about Readium. It buries the book. But, when you're a reader that has just bought a well advertised .epub3 book and you need a FAST and EFFICIENT solution to read it in your PC or Mac, you will not care about that. What do you think? I tried LuciDor more than once. But I just can't see a future on my readers (or any kind of readers) who seek solid .epub3 features. Readium was the only piece of software, from that list, that answered these very important questions (also from the reader's perspective) 1) Is it simple/fast? YES. 2) Is it efficient? YES. I think Calibre is great, but I will not refer it any more to my readers, because it is too much hustle for something that another software does much better, for my readers. My book's (http://tangofaqs.com) selling numbers are fantastic. I wish I could share them with you guys. I'm very happy to see 12 months of persistent work and target marketing payoff. Thanks to those who helped. Last edited by PablitoG; 03-22-2014 at 06:02 AM. |
