There is a much more advanced fork of this project: https://github.com/jpirnay/crosspoint-reader

In actuality there are several forks, and the original Crosspoint Reader really got the ball rolling, but now seems to get stuck in discussions. The forks (especially the one I linked) has progressed much further and has better KOReader sync (as in actually syncs to the correct XPath position instead of some close-enough position), bionic reading, streamlined UI, etc. Give that one a shot!



Its not "endless discussion" that's keeping it from improving it's actually a lack of reviewers for the PRs that are already there.

The discussions are pretty sane, but I've seen how once there's a PR that's ready to go and everyone agrees is ready to go it won't be merged because there's not enough people to review the code.

Maybe a lot of people who would be reviewers have decided instead to maintain their own forks. But yeah, the discussion is fine.


Ah I just switched to using https://github.com/uxjulia/crossink-reader

Not sure what KOReader is but the fonts included in this one and the overall reading experience is solid.


KOReader is the defacto Android ereader app for eink screens, and many consider it the best Android ereader for regular screens too.


Worth mentioning it's not limited to Android! It also runs on Kobos, Kindles, Pocketbooks, etc.


How does it runs in Kindles? Which ones are supported? I'm interested


Not personally familiar with the details, as I don't have any Amazon devices. Sounds like it involves jailbreaking and per-model differences: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Ki...


Make sense now thanks


Ah, didn't know that.


agreed and they support non android devices too!


CrossInk is much more popular than this fork AFAICT from the Reddit discussions.
