Good old Thorium pops up again!

I’ll certainly give the AppImage a spin later on.

(Thorium is a Readium-based Electron app.)

EDIT: First startup screen tells me Thorium can read LCP-protected DRM’ed books. Probably a good move.

EDIT 2: I love the super-clean and minimalistic appearance and the speed but miss some settings:

TTS doesn’t work (Linux Mint 20.3; eSpeak, spd and PicoTTS installed)
Where/how to include dictionaries (and which format)?
Where/how to include/modify hyphenation rules (and which do you use: Linux’ hyphen-xx, Hyphenator, …?)

Library is stored in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/EDRLab.ThoriumReader/publications/.

OPDS works fine. Tested Standard Ebooks and local Calibre instance.

Series: Should show series info (name, number), but doesn’t. Suggest showing Calibre data for EPUB2, official tags for EPUB3.
