No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Hey nerds,

As the title says I'm looking for a good, robust ebook reader for Android. I dont need much, just something that can handle all kinds of file types with basic quality of life features, like page remembering and custom naming of files.

I currently use ePub Reader (Google Play link) which has been good but limited. Namely, I don't believe it handles color (or at least I cannot find a way to toggle it off of black and white).

Appreciate any recommendations but please no subscription services!

I'm using Librera FD. It's on f-droid and works amazingly for everything mentioned and more

[–] SolSerkonos@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago

Ha, I didn't remember what I used so I grabbed my phone to try Librera FD, and realized I already use it.

I feel like I'm going crazy but is ePub Reader just a version of Librera? For that matter, do you know how to toggle color? Main reason behind this post was that I recently downloaded some art books that are kind of useless without color display

Librera FD, hands down the best reader on Android.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks! Installing it right now

[–] MightyLordJason@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I use KOReader on my Android phone, laptop, and Kobo. It's pretty great. You can sync reading position between the various devices and download books from e.g. Dropbox and Webdav. Available through FDroid and their web site, not Google Play.

Two other people have commented librera, but I'm here to suggest librera instead. I've used a few ereaders and of the open-source ones for android, it is very good.

librera on fdroid

You suggest librera instead of librera???

Also linking a download link directly instead of the page that describes it is bad form.

Oh whoops, I didn't realize I was linking to the download. My mistake!

[–] gigachad@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

Tbh, I think librera would be a way better choice. Don't listen to this guy OP

I think there is a free version, but I paid a one time fee for the paid version of MoonReader. Easily the best e-reader app that I have ever used, and I've used at least 20 trying to find one that I liked. Within a day of using MoonReader, I had paid for the premium version and quit searching. That was it. I was finally happy with an ereader app. It's been about 4 years now, and I'm still happy.
