BookOrbit

Your self-hosted ebook & audiobook library client.
BookOrbit is a native Android client for your own self-hosted BookOrbit

BookOrbit server and get a fast, native way to browse, read, and listen
to your library on your phone or tablet.

• Download books for offline reading and listening
• Upload and review new books with Book Drop
• Your data stays on your server — no ads, no tracking, no analytics
