I’m looking for recommendations. I usually use Overdrive with books I’ve downloaded (I think in the epub format). But now I hear that Overdrive is no longer being supported (I think the company wants people to use their Libby app instead). I’m hoping to find something open source and privacy minded. Also not wild about what Overdrive is doing to public libraries.

    Librera Reader for everything. I use it for both books on a phone and comics on a tablet—covers both great! Plus it is on F-Droid.

    I use Moon+ Reader Pro for Android. It’s got a nice presentation, it’s reasonably feature-rich for an eBook reader, and it’s easy to use.

    Honestly, I mainly just use Google Play Books, since that’s where I buy most of my ebooks. I do download and de-DRM my purchased books though, since I don’t trust Google to keep all my books available to me in the future.

    On my eink reader, I also use either Google Play Books or the default reader app, “Neo Reader” I believe.

    ReadEra (Android at least, not sure if it’s on iOS) is the app I’m currently using and enjoying. I also previously used Aldiko for several years with no issue. Still have it installed but if my (poor) memory serves I think its no longer being developed, but still works with no problem when I last used it). Could not tell you whether either is open source or not but I assume that should be easy enough to find out lol.
