what makes all of the above kinda pointless though, except as a proof of concept is that Bookari is a terrible reader for most library loans. It is good for bookes that you can edit and remove all line heights from the CSS, but its themes will not override the line height code in many library books and so you get horrible squashed up lines.
that does not happen in overdrive/libby.
it is actually better ( one you get used the to the apps UI )- to install either overdrive or libby, log into your library from your tablet browser of choice ( I used chrome) - either with an overdrive account or with your library card - checkout, download and read epub books in libby or overdrive. I discovered that libby can do my preferred 2 column landscape mode after some prodding, and they claim it is a work in progress with more features and display options to come
this should work for any android device - no PC needed. I already had an adobe ID but you should be able to get one using a device browser to visit adobe, for an end-to-end no-PC-needed solution
and, with bookari eliminated, all apps used in the above solution are free.
