A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'd be pretty surprised if you couldn't waydroid something decent without googleing up. Certainly moon reader or something should run without the store?

I'm limiting myself to only open source applications on the tablets. Strictly nothing from Play Store or Aurora.

When you call the shots, you get the outcomes. It's honestly not a bad way to live. Best of luck to ya!

I like KOReader for my Kindle, but it's available for Android too. Have you tried it?

[–] eleitl@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, KOReader and Librera FD are two applications I use currently.
