Cross-platform reader software recommendations
At the risk of starting a "emotional" discussion . . . I'm looking for reader software that meets the following criteria:
  1. Works on Kobo
  2. Works on Android
  3. Currently supported or under active development

My reading is primarily on my Kobo, but I will also read on my Android tablet under some circumstances. I've tried:
  • Cool Reader. This is my current default, but there are a few bugs, and there's been no active development for 3 years
  • KO Reader. Very successful on Kobo, but has a couple of major bugs on my Android tablet, primarly relating to screen rotation. According to the dev team, these are not fixable (see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=343308)
  • FB Reader. Android only, but very successful on that platform

Any suggestions are welcome!

Calibre to remove DRM and covert to another format.

That IS what I'm doing on the Linux side - all my library management is is Calibre.

Just mention these (although not cross-platform) because they’re often overlooked.

Just curious as to what features you're looking for. For instance, do you want to see reading location synced, or library synced across the different platforms?
