What application have you recently discovered?

Not really recently (been using it 4 years, happy to have found it in the AUR), but rediscovered: Thorium Reader (AUR; Website) – EPUB3 and Audio Ebooks done right. Great for the visually impaired, too.

  • Can import from OPDS catalogues (like from Standard Ebooks or my Jellyfin server).
  • Plays EPUB3 Audio Ebooks (EPUBs with real narrator voices).
  • Can display PDF.
  • Can use LCP DRM protected EPUB.
  • Works nicely with Speech Dispatcher and Piper TTS voices.
  • Automatic language selection (if you have SPD voices defined for the language).
  • Continues reading where you left off.
  • Based on the Readium engine.

Wish Foliate was that good…
