Ebook app that scans multiple directories

Rbneader · 08-01-2013, 08:39 AM

Hello all,

I have a question. Is there any way to get FBReader or CoolReader to automatically scan multiple directories for ebooks? Some kind of recursively scan subfolders functionality? And if there's not, is there any ereading Android app you know of that can do that?

Thanks!

Mantano Reader. Not sure about Cool Reader or FBReader.

Mantano doesn't scan automatically, you have to tell it to do an import. But then you can have any tree structure you like. After an import Mantano removes books that has been removed or renamed, and ask if it should add the new books that are discovered in the tree structure.

I use this to connect to a folder, as a device, using calibre and save books using to a tree structure based on book genres, all on a NAS shared over wifi. And then I sync this folder to my Xoom using the app FolderSync.

After an import I add all the books in each different folder to different "collections" in Mantano.

Moon+ Reader Pro can also import a folder tree.
