SupernoteReader - a light, no frills ebook reader

Hey folks,

Got my Supernote Nomad a few days ago, and i feel i made the right choice as far as devices go.

While playing around with it, i noticed that for reading (simple, distraction-less reading), the Kindle app, seems very... well... Amazon, and wanted something clean, simple, light, similar to Apple Books from a few generations back (your book, your font, font size, theme and that's it).

So, being a developer, (yes, of course i used LLMs) i created SupernoteReader, a simple, elegant (i hope) ebook reader. Just pushed the first version up on GitHub, so it's completely open for everyone.

https://github.com/mihaiCroitoru/SupernoteReader

What's included

  • EPUB and PDF support
  • Library gallery — scans Document/Books/ automatically; shows cover art, author, and reading progress per book
  • Sort library by title, author, or recently read
  • EPUB reader with full text reflow — 5 font families (Literata, Merriweather, Lora, Source Serif 4, Atkinson Hyperlegible), adjustable size 14–28sp
  • Table of contents navigation for EPUBs — tap ☰to jump to any chapter
  • PDF full-page rendering at native resolution
  • Per-book dark mode (full colour inversion)
  • Live font/theme preview — see changes behind the settings modal before confirming
  • Physical sidebar buttons (the Nomad's ratta-slide strips) turn pages
  • Full-screen e-ink refresh every 8 page turns to clear ghosting

Comments / feedback are more than welcome on how i can improve this.

I hope this is the right community to post in.
