  OPDS is the standard for ebook distribution. Most eBook apps support it, I bet your boox does too.

  You can subscribe to a feed and browse the catalogue and download a book. Some popular OPDS catalogues are:

  • Feedbooks
  • Internet Archive
  • Manybook
  • Project Gutenberg
  • Standard Ebooks
  • unglue.it.

    Ok, thank you! If I can add support for that, I definitely will.

      Kavita has OPDS support, so if you need an OPDS server to test with, that would be a good option. Would be great if the app worked well with Kavita in general too, it has a good API you could work with.

  Its the only way I roll when it comes to ebooks

  Actually its the only thing I’d like to find in an open comic reader for iOS (iPad, my only iOS device, work bought it for me). Panels supports it (paid version), but I have yet to find an open source solution for iOS that does (for comics specifically).

  For android quite a few do out of the box. Definitely recommended.

  I’d also recommend checking out a server that uses it to try it out. Calibre-server supports it if you want to check it out.
