I want to control everything about my reading experience, down to whether or not the text is hyphenated when it is wrapped to the next line, the line spacing, and information at the bottom of my screen. And this somehow does all of this, and more, like importing font files and dictionary files! Finally, it does not randomly offload books to the cloud, which Apple Books does every single time.

TTS has natural voice, hard working developer that keeps up with latest trends! It has been more than a year since Kokoro was released. Yet other ereaders still use the old robotic tts, instead of better opensource free tts models.

Can not use OPDS with Calibre. Will not accept the 192.xxx.xxx/8080 URL. Also Readest does not show up under Files when iPhone connected as a iOS device on Mac. Please improve the Calibre integration and simplify.
