[APP] Shiori ePub Reader – Android EPUB Reader with TTS & Library Server Support

[endofday]

Hello everyone,

I'm the developer of Shiori ePub Reader, an Android EPUB reader that I've been developing for about a year. I recently released it on Google Play and would love to share it with the MobileRead community.

Shiori focuses on clean reading, fast performance, and support for self-hosted libraries.

Current features
EPUB,KEPUB reader
Continuous scrolling
Multiple themes and fonts
Bookmarks, highlights and notes
Dictionary lookup
Built-in Text-to-Speech
Offline paragraph translation
Google Drive sync (optional)
Library Server support

One of the main goals of Shiori is to work well with self-hosted libraries.

It currently supports:

Komga
Kavita
OPDS Catalogs
WebDAV
Everything HTTP Server

Books can be browsed directly from the server and downloaded for offline reading.

Experimental features

I've also added experimental CBZ support for manga readers.

My goal

I'm actively improving the app and would really appreciate feedback from experienced ebook readers here on MobileRead.

If there are EPUB compatibility issues, rendering problems, or features you'd like to see, I'd be happy to hear about them.

I really like your calendar view, that's an interesting way to display what has been read recently! Very cool.

Thank you! I'm really glad you like it. I wanted a reading history that feels more visual than just a list, so the calendar view was my attempt at that. 😊

I also recently added custom fonts, including different fonts for different languages and scripts. If you're interested, here's a quick demo:

I'd love to hear what you think!

Hi everyone,

I've been working on another feature for Shiori EPUB Reader that I think Calibre users may find useful.

The upcoming release adds support for Calibre Wireless Device mode, allowing Shiori to connect directly to Calibre over your local Wi-Fi network.

The workflow is straightforward:

Start Calibre on your computer
Enable Wireless Device
Connect from Shiori on your Android device
Send books directly from Calibre
Start reading immediately

No USB cable, no manual file copying, and no cloud storage required.

This is especially convenient if you already manage your ebook collection with Calibre and want to keep the same workflow on Android.

Connecting to Calibre
Wireless device detected
Sending books
Reading immediately after transfer

I'm currently polishing the feature and testing compatibility with different Calibre versions before the public release.

As always, feedback and suggestions are welcome. If there are specific parts of the Wireless Device workflow you'd like to see supported, let me know.
