Ebook reader for Ipad that sorts like Kybook3

[ruthcatrin]

Hey everyone, I've been using Kybook3 as an ebook reader on my Ipad for years. I really like the way it allows you to view your books by sorting by author, or series, or new, or reading.

Unfortunately it's starting to have problems with at least one of my newest ebooks, opening that one ebook causes the app to crash out completely. Attempting to open the same ebook on my PC works just fine, as does 4 different ebook readers (all using the same downloaded file that Kybook crashes on) I downloaded at random from the app store, which tells me its not really a problem with the ebook. When I looked up the Kybook website it looks like the app hasn't been updated since 2019, which means a fix is probably not in the works.

So far its reading the rest of my ebooks fine, so I'm not in a HUGE rush to find another app, which is good, because I'm REALLY not thrilled with the way any of the others I've looked sort/handle ebooks.

I don't suppose anyone can point me at an ebook reader for iOS devices that has a sort comparable to Kybook? I don't mind paying for an app that'll do what I want, and I don't mind creating an account, but I don't want to have to have internet access to access my books either.

Screenshots to explain what I mean by the way Kybook sorts ebooks. I can select "Authors", and then go to a list of authors. Only after choosing which author to look at do I get a list of books. All the apps I've looked at so far don't do this, tell it to sort by author and it just rearranges the books into alphabetical order by author and you have to scroll through the entire list of books to find the author you want to look at closer.

FBReader for IOS sorts by Recently added, Recently opened, Recently downloaded, Authors, Series and Titles. Author names are shown in a list with number of books. Free version is available for trying.

Oh nice, I'll take a closer look at it, thank you!

Ok, that will probly work. I'm not thrilled with the interface, but I can get used to that.

I don't suppose you know how to add multiple books at once (from files in IOS) without using a google account to sync? I figured out how to add a single book at a time from inside the app, but no matter what I do I can't get it to add multiple books, and I'd love to not have to redownload all these books.

I've been uploading them to FBReader through their website from my google drive and using them there because I do need the sync function. It is possible to add more than one using google drive. I've not found another app that syncs automatically between my ipads, allows the use of a remote page-turner through the volume control, and allows adding my own fonts. Those are the main reasons I use it.

Thank you for your help!
