Tomelet: a reader for EPUB, PDF and more that keeps the publisher's page

[tomelet]

Hi all,

I'm the developer of Tomelet, a reader for books you already own. It starts from what the publisher made (the fonts, spacing and images) and lets you work on top of it.

What it does today:

• Keeps publisher fonts, styles and images by default. Change the type size and the text reflows without losing the design.
• Opens EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3, FB2, DjVu, CBZ comics, DOCX, TXT, Markdown and HTML, plus older formats such as CHM, LIT and Palm eReader, all DRM-free.
• Highlights, underlines, notes and bookmarks in EPUBs and in PDFs with selectable text, and drawing on the page in every format.
• Exports a book's notes as Markdown or JSON, so they are not locked in. The JSON is a W3C Web Annotation collection.
• Sets right-to-left text such as Arabic and Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese and Korean with ruby, and Japanese set vertically, from one rendering engine.

Limits, so you know before you try it:

• It doesn't remove DRM. A locked book is recognised and explained, not opened.
• No CBR or CB7 comics, and no Readium LCP.
• A scanned PDF can be drawn on, but its text can't be highlighted.
• Notes live in the app's library, not inside the book file. Export is how they leave.

The free app is the whole reader, not a trial: every format and reading feature, notes and export, offline and with no account, on Android, iPhone and iPad, Windows, macOS and Linux. It is supported by ads. Syncing between devices is a paid extra.

I'd like to hear where a book of yours looks wrong: odd CSS, embedded fonts, footnotes, anything. I'll be reading this thread.
