Aldus helps you manage your library and sync with your e-reader, while giving you full control over your books.
From your file to every device you read on
Getting your books in
Add a file or connect a catalog. Every book is rebuilt to one standard, its metadata cleaned up, and filed in a library that holds a few books or several thousand.
Add a book
Drop in a file, or pull from an online catalog — Calibre, Komga, Kavita, or any OPDS server.
Books get rebuilt
Every book is normalized to one consistent standard, so a badly-made file reads like a well-made one. The original is kept, untouched.
Clean metadata
Fetch metadata from external sources — Google Books, Open Library and more. Edit anything, with full history and one-click revert.
Your library, organised
A few books or several thousand, with tools to support power users.
Reading your books
In the browser, or on the e-reader you already own. Personalise your books the way you like to read them. Your highlights, your notes and your place follow you between them.
Read books anywhere
In the browser, or in any iOS or Android app that speaks OPDS and KOSync. Our own apps are coming.
Personalise your books
Font, size, line and paragraph spacing, margins, columns, hyphenation, colour. Every book opens the way you set it.
Highlight, note, bookmark
Everything you mark as you read — highlights, comments, bookmarks — collected in one place, per book and across your whole library, so it’s easy to find again months later.
Your reading progress, across devices and apps
Reading position syncs both directions, thanks to our own KOSync server.
A library you own
Your books stay files you own, served over your own private feed to any app that speaks OPDS. Nothing about them is locked to Aldus.
Set up your own feed
Turn on your personal OPDS feed, name it, and point KOReader — or any OPDS client — at it. Your library, on your device, over a protocol nobody owns.
Share your books
Your own private OPDS feed for your devices — or a single book by link, expiring and revocable.
See what you’ve read
Time read, books finished, streaks, and breakdowns by genre and author.
Built on open standards. Interoperable.
