Ability to use things like BookOrbit (or alternatives) to manage your books and sync your progress/stats
replyI discovered BookOrbit about two months ago. I think that it, together with the KOReader plugin that exposes the remote BO UI, may turn out to be a game changer in how I organize and access my ebook repository.
Same here, I jailbroke my kindle just 1-2 months ago (when the PW5 JB came out) and I had been using BookOrbit for only a few weeks before then. Since then I've read over 15 books and been loving BookOrbit and KOReader.
replyThanks for the BookOrbit hint. Seems very interesting.
replyI see it supports audiobooks and ebooks. Do you know if there is any way for keeping sync between an audiobook and ebook?
It does not have any sort of "whispersync" but, ironically?, I feel like whispersync could be recreated with things like Whisper and parsing the epub/whatever to line up progress. BookOrbit is in active development from what I can see (I'm not connected to the project, just a happy user) and it wouldn't surprise me if that was a feature in the future. It's something I've mulled over building for a while (even before Whisper).
replyFor my Audiobooks I don't use BookOrbit because my setup is:
- Buy on Audible
- Rip DRM off
- Add to Plex
- Use Prologue (iOS only) to listen
And I freaking love that setup so I'm not looking to replace it currently.
How do you rip the drm off audible? Id love to free my audioooks.
