@foss_android @openreads @books This looks really cool, but I always worry about the longevity of things like this. I don't want to move all my library deets across for it to fold in a year or two. Sorry if that seems disrespectful but I've been burned before. Or am I being silly?
@JoeyPajamas @foss_android @books
Your worries are perfectly fine. I would say that being open source is what makes Openreads so great. The app is licensed as GPLv2 so everyone can use it and modify it forever. Not like other proprietary apps that the second they stop making profit can be closed with no option to migrate to any other service.
