Librum: Promising New Open-Source e-book Reader That Lets You Create an Online Library
|
||||
======
|
||||
Librum is a new eBook reader with a cloud library.
|
||||
Are you a bookworm? Or turning into one?
|
||||
|
||||
Well, we have just the thing for you!
|
||||
|
||||
Librum Reader is a new eBook reader offering meant to “ _make reading enjoyable and straightforward for everyone_.”
|
||||
|
||||
While this is not your usual offline reader app, it can be one of the [best eBook readers for Linux][1]. With Librum, you can **take advantage of the cloud** by having a personal library that can be accessed from any device, anytime.
|
||||
|
||||
Allow me to show you around it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Librum: Overview ⭐
|
||||
|
||||
![][2]
|
||||
|
||||
Built primarily using **QML** and **C++** , Librum is an **open-source e-book reader** that allows you to sync your content to the cloud with a pretty straightforward interface.
|
||||
|
||||
It is free to get started with **2 GB of cloud storage** and plans to offer some premium tiers (not yet finalized).
|
||||
|
||||
🚧
|
||||
|
||||
Librum Reader is in active development and has no stable release yet.
|
||||
|
||||
Librum is also packed with plenty of features, with some of the highlights including:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Customizable library**
|
||||
* **Metadata editing of books**
|
||||
* **Cloud syncing**
|
||||
* **Modern interface**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Suggested Read** 📖
|
||||
|
||||
![][3]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Initial Impressions 👨💻
|
||||
|
||||
I set out to test Librum on my [Ubuntu 22.04][4]-powered system. But, before I could use the app, I **had to create an account** by providing an email address and password.
|
||||
|
||||
Even though Librum focuses on providing a cloud experience, I **would've liked a dedicated offline-only mode** as an alternative or a trial mode to check Librum out before signing up.
|
||||
|
||||
Anyway, I moved on and signed in to the application. I imported a few books by using the ' **Add books** ' option, and it then arranged them in the home tab neatly, with options to sort, filter, or add tags to them.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The **eBook reading experience** was just about what you would expect from a modern reader application, with a minimal interface and options to scale the text, go into full-screen mode, and more.
|
||||
|
||||
![][6]
|
||||
|
||||
The **three-ribbon menu houses a few essential options**. The top three options allow you to print, save, or share the currently opened eBook.
|
||||
|
||||
The options include the **text-to-speech functionality** , **displaying pages continuously/vertically** , **inverting the colors** , **syncing the book** , and **accessing the settings menu.**
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
I also tested out **the** **search functionality;** I could quickly find specific words, with options to highlight them all, set it to be case-sensitive, and search for whole words.
|
||||
|
||||
![][8]
|
||||
|
||||
The **table of contents** feature also worked quite well, with the option to search for specific chapters using the search bar.
|
||||
|
||||
![][9]
|
||||
|
||||
That was it for my eBook reading experience on Librum Reader.
|
||||
|
||||
But wait, **there's more to look out for!**
|
||||
|
||||
#### Proposed Upcoming Features 📝
|
||||
|
||||
![][10]
|
||||
|
||||
I noticed that there were plenty of features that were still being worked on.
|
||||
|
||||
One of those is **a free in-app bookstore** that is **set to house over 70,000 eBooks;** the other is a ' **Statistics Page** ' that will contain **personalized reading statistics.**
|
||||
|
||||
The last one is an ' **Add-ons Page** ' that will most likely feature **add-ons that further enhance the functionality of Librum**.
|
||||
|
||||
![][11]
|
||||
|
||||
The stable release is set to arrive in the coming months.
|
||||
|
||||
The **developers have not yet clarified what the upcoming paid plans will offer**. My best guess would be that they will offer more cloud storage and access to novelty features.
|
||||
|
||||
I suggest you watch their [news page][12] for up-to-date information regarding Librum Reader.
|
||||
|
||||
### 📥 Get Librum
|
||||
|
||||
Librum is **available as a Flatpak for Linux** right now, with **Windows** and **macOS** variants under development.
|
||||
