Read an ebook

Usherr Books: a reader with your text size and colours, and your place kept on every device. Or send books to an e-reader.

In Broadcast: the players menu at the bottom of the menu, Usherr Books. With a remote: Left and Right turn the page, Options opens the settings.
In Classic or Neu: the play button at the top, Usherr Books.

  1. Players

    The play button at the top opens the players and apps.

  2. Usherr Books

    Opens your ebooks in a window of its own. Tap a book’s Read to open it.

  3. The reader

    Turn pages with the arrows, the arrow keys, the space bar or a swipe. Contents jumps to a chapter; the slider to any place. Aa sets the text size, line spacing, margins, the page colour (light, sepia, dark, or black for OLED screens), the font, Pages or Scroll, and the page turn: Curl, Slide or None. Tap a footnote mark to read the note in a small card. Highlights, notes and bookmarks are yours alone. Kindle books and PDFs open too, and Keep on this device saves a book to read offline.

  4. On an e-reader

    Your profile page has Read on an e-reader: Kobo sync puts your books on a Kobo, and the OPDS catalogue works in reading apps such as KOReader. Each only reads; it can’t change anything. KOReader and Readest can keep your place in step with Usherr (they sign in with your app password), and Send to e-reader on a book’s page emails it to your Kindle or e-reader.

  5. Happy reading

    Your place is kept on the server, so a book opens where you stopped, on any device.
