New Reading App with Calibre Sync

Hi there!

A few years ago, I was looking for a reading app that could track the kind of stats I care about, and also integrate well with Calibre. I didn't find quite what I wanted, so I started building my own. It's called JetReader.

JetReader is aimed at readers who:
  • Like seeing their reading stats
  • Want to sync their device library with Calibre
  • Read on multiple devices and want their progress and data kept in sync

Syncing works through Dropbox, WebDAV, or a free JetReader account. It is also possible to use JetReader only to synchronize books with Calibre, and open the books in another app.

I've been using the app myself for about three years, gradually improving it and adding things I found useful. In addition to the core features mentioned above, I've also added a simple web page to view and share reading stats, and an AI-based tool that explains words or phrases in the context of the book, which has been really helpful when I'm reading in other languages than my mother tongue (which is mostly all the time).

The app supports common formats like epub, mobi, azw, fb2, txt, and html. It's currently Android-only, but it's built with a cross-platform framework, so iOS support is possible if enough people are interested.

At this point, JetReader does most of what I need it to. I'm now looking to hear what others might want from it. If this sounds like something you'd use, I'd really appreciate your help testing it and hearing your thoughts.

If you think this sounds interesting, you can ...
EDIT: The app is now live, and can be downloaded normally from Google Play. Thanks to everybody who helped me test it!
