Does it work on my reader? Almost certainly.

Kevra is on your phone, your tablet and your ereader, with the same account. Your progress follows you from one to the next. Here's what it does on each device, what it doesn't, and how to install it.

E-inkGoogle Play

Boox, PocketBook, Meebook…

Any e-ink reader running Android. It's the same app, but it switches to e-ink mode on its own: pure black and white, bigger text and nothing that moves.

What you can do

Everything in the phone app
Turn pages with the physical buttons
Syncs when you close the cover and when you open it
Profiles: everyone switches to their own account with a tap
Greyscale comics and audiobooks

What not

The animated page turn or word-by-word reading: they make no sense on e-ink

1Open Google Play on your ereader.

2Install Kevra and sign in with your account.

3E-ink mode turns on by itself.

With what you already use

KOReader, CrossInk and other apps

If you already read with KOReader (jailbroken Kindle, Kobo, PocketBook) or another app, connect it to Kevra through two standards: the OPDS catalogue for your books and KOReader Sync for your progress. You'll find the details in the app: Settings → Other readers.

OPDSYour books

Your Kevra catalogue

Ex libris, what you're reading, your libraries and search, from any app with OPDS.

KOSyncYour progress

Where you're up to

To and from your phone when you sync, plus an estimated reading time.

KindleUntouched?

A stock Kindle, no

Amazon won't let you install anything. With KOReader, if you jailbreak it, yes.

Your sources

Where your books come from

Kevra brings together what you have, without moving it. And with some servers, your progress goes back to the server too.

Clouds · Plus

Dropbox, Google Drive, Box

Your folders as your library. Books download straight to you, never through Kevra.
