Kevra Reader (Kevra's e-reader)

Kevra Reader is an e-ink reader with Kevra built in, which we're working on.

Note: today Kevra Reader is a prototype being tested. It's not for sale and can't be bought or pre-ordered. There's no date or price. Everything in this article may change.

The idea

An e-reader where Kevra is the main screen, not just another app: you turn it on and you're in your library, with your account, your progress and your usual books.

In the prototype we're testing, among other things:

• Starting with a simple setup (language, Wi-Fi and how to use it).
• Use without an account: read the books you copy to the device even without Wi-Fi. If you sign in later, what you've read moves to your account.
• Books over USB: plug it into the computer and copy books to a Books folder so they show up in the library by themselves.
• Turning pages with the side buttons, also in the library and in Community.
• Updating over Wi-Fi, without an app store.

Can I install Kevra Reader on my e-reader?

No. Kevra Reader isn't an app you can download: it's the version of Kevra for that specific device.

If you already have an e-reader, here's what you can do with it:

• Android e-readers (Boox, PocketBook, Meebook…): the regular app from Google Play, with e-ink mode.
• Kobo (beta), Xteink or KOReader.
• A Kindle: email your books to it.
