Description

Booklover is a highly responsive, robust eBook reader with a rich user interface.

The metadata-driven library management makes it easy to find and enjoy a large number of books in PDF, ZIP/CBZ, RAR/CBR formats.

Seamlessly integrated with iCloud Drive, books in the iCloud Drive/Booklover folder automatically appear in the app's library and can be downloaded on-demand.

In the library, you can organize your books by genres, arrange them in order using various bibliographic information such as title, author, publisher, and more.

With the search field and the powerful Library Navigator, you can quickly locate a book from among thousands in your library.

Customize your reading experience with various settings for each book, including page layout, transition axis and style, cropping, filters, progress direction, background, and more.

Booklover automatically extracts metadata from file names or PDFs and also allows in-app manual edits as needed.

We're dedicated to creating a digital reading experience for the modern era.

KooPTZ ,

Très bien

Application très pratique, mais il manque le support de lecture des eBooks (fichiers ePub et mobi).

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback. We'll work hard to offer ePub support in a future version hopefully soon.

Mouai

Grosse erreur, impossible de récupérer les dossiers créés préalablement dans le cloud, toutes les bds sont à la suite et mélangées, il faudrait tout réorganiser…

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for using Booklover, and we are sorry that it did not meet your expectations.

The app has been designed and developed so that it manages books with their metadata (title / author / publisher / genre etc.) rather than folders, as an application such as iTunes manages music. We might be going to implement a "Folder View" so that it displays books as it is organized with folders additionally in the future if we receive considerable amounts of similar requests.

Anyhow, we take your feedback sincerely for future improvements. Thanks again.

Superbe application

Je donne un nouvel avis suite à quelques mois d’utilisation.
L’intégration avec le cloud est parfaite. On peut enfin se permettre d’avoir une bibliothèque énorme sans prendre toute la place sur l’iPad.
Vous avez ouvert beaucoup de livre? Il suffit de vider le cache et hop, le tour est jouer et vous avez un gain de place qui peux être considérable.
Possibilité de créer des tag, d’avoir un classement par genre. Très utile.
Si vous créez correctement les metadata directement dans le nom du fichier, vous vous y retrouverez facilement.
L’application ne gère pas encore les tags inclus dans les fichier cbz ou zip.
Il ne manque pas grand chose. Idéalement, une lecture aléatoire de fichiers serait sympa quand on ne sait pas quel livre ou bd choisir. Et comme certains concurrent pas mal non plus, une lecture automatique par défilement serait au top.
Et pourquoi pas une recherche des couvertures sur le net ou encore une exploration des livres par dossier.
Même sans ca, Vous pouvez l’acheter les yeux fermés.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for using Booklover. Metadata extraction from a file in certain format (ex. ComicInfo.xml) embedded in an archived file is one of the many things we would like to support in the future. We will continue to develop the app to make it a better reader for you.
