A minimalist and high-contrast e-reader specifically designed for Nosferatu OS.
NosferatuReader evolves from a simple invisible bridge into a complete native reading experience. Built with a brutalist and functional philosophy, it is optimized for tablet devices and designed to eliminate every distraction between the reader and the text.
- Native Reading Engine: Powered by the Readium toolkit, ensuring full support for the EPUB standard.
- Brutalist Interface: UI written entirely in Jetpack Compose, featuring high-contrast (Black/White) design for maximum legibility.
- Library Management: Automatic local file synchronization with metadata extraction (Title, Author, Covers).
- Immersive Experience: Full-screen reading mode with minimal progress indicators and on-demand typographic controls.
- Persistence: Automatically saves the last reading position and user preferences (font size) using Room and SharedPreferences.
- Android SDK: 25 (Nougat 7.1.2) or higher.
- Target SDK: 36 (Android 15+).
- Target Environment: Nosferatu OS (or any AOSP-based system).
The project is organized into the following main packages:
data: Handles database entities and DAOs.library: Scans the file system, manages covers, and handles configurations.parser: Metadata extraction strategies for EPUB files.reader: Implementation of the Readium-based reading activity.ui: Compose components for the Home and Library screens.
