BookFusion
- An ebook reading app and library for books you upload, including EPUBs and PDFs. Reading position, bookmarks, highlights, and notes sync across its iOS, Android, and web apps.
- I found BookFusion on Readwise's integration list. Readwise recommends it for highlighting EPUBs and PDFs and importing those annotations to Readwise.
- Reading files: Both apps accept EPUBs and PDFs. Reader has an EPUB reading layout, a reflowed text view for PDFs, PDF image snapshots, and annotated PDF downloads. Reader file uploads · Reader PDFs · Reader long-form reading.
- Book library: BookFusion emphasizes shelves, book metadata, and a collection that syncs across devices. Its Calibre plugin can send a whole library or selected books to BookFusion. Reader organizes saved material with an inbox, reading queue, archive, tags, and filtered views; it also handles articles, RSS, newsletters, and other media. Reader adds text-to-speech and Ghostreader tools. Reader library organization · Reader features.
- Highlights in Readwise: Reader highlights sync to Readwise automatically. BookFusion highlights and notes sync among BookFusion devices, but exporting them to Readwise requires opening the book in BookFusion's web app and exporting again after new annotations.
Open question
- If Readwise/Reader already handles EPUBs and PDFs, would BookFusion's bookshelves, Calibre integration, or reading experience improve my own book workflow enough to justify keeping a separate reading app and manually exporting highlights?
