@TQuitong25925 epub reflows when you bump the font size, that's the bit I actually notice on a phone. pdf keeps the exact page, so textbooks and scans stay put, but zooming gets messy. if it started life as a print layout I just leave it as pdf
I used to change font size on a pdf and watch the layout fall apart. these days if a file was written to reflow I look for epub, and keep genuine print layouts as pdf. sounds obvious, still mixes them up sometimes
I ignored reading stats for months. then a 72-day streak was just sitting there. not a flex — most nights it's 15 min before sleep. the hours surprised me more than the count.
Athena Reader tracks this on your own files (I work on it). https://t.co/lChk0vAj9e
@FamixSoftware makes sense, the sentence is basically the memory hook. words without it never stuck for me
I highlight way more than I ever reread. lately I dump each book's highlights to a markdown file and skim them on sunday, like 10 min tops. works better than I expected tbh
@unfriendlydeer the word doc + pdf side by side life. I ended up keeping a tiny notes file just for page numbers so I stop scrolling back for the same quote
@aanyakumarii same lesson here, building a reader app. the PDF part felt hard until I tried getting anyone to look at it lol. what's helped a bit is just answering people's actual reading questions in threads, not posting launches
只有 Web 桌面端有：左边继续读，右边问 AI，不用来回切页。读到半截想追问特别省事。手机端暂时没有同屏双栏。 https://t.co/lChk0vAj9e
@yuanshangling1 PDF vs EPUB is often a different job — scanned textbooks fight every reader. For reflowable files I want offline + exportable highlights. I work on Athena Reader (bias noted); Moon+ is still a solid Android-only pick.
@gurlfromhere If you want something that just reads your own files (no bookstore): Moon+ Reader and Readest are both solid on Android. I work on Athena Reader — EPUB/PDF/Word/TXT, offline-first, syncs with desktop/web. System TTS, not a human narrator. https://t.co/lChk0vAj9e
PDFs rarely come as audiobooks. System TTS isn't a narrator, but it can turn a commute into listening time.
Athena Reader reads your own EPUB/PDF/Word/TXT, offline on phone and desktop.
Won't sound human; tables and formulas come out odd.

@shuachill That's the tradeoff I notice too: a local EPUB travels well offline, but you lose the comment threads that make a story feel shared. I keep the original page bookmarked for comments and read the file on the go.
Highlights are raw material, not notes.
After each book, export them to Markdown and write 3 lines in your own words: what it says, what you agree with, where you'll use it.
Athena Reader exports EPUB/PDF highlights to Markdown free: https://t.co/lChk0vAj9e #Obsidian
