I'm currently using readera but it's not that good (text scaling is behind a paywall)

Edit:the ability to put stuff into categories would be neat btw

It is pretty terrible though.

In what way? It works quite alright for me.

Bad rendering at times, jankiness during scrolling, etc.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah no idea why but on Android its bad, on Linux just fine

Nah it's crap on Linux too. Maybe not quite as bad. On Linux I generally use atril or xpdf these days.

Firefox on Linux (binary, Fedora, Flathub, compiled) is very good for PDF reading

I use Firefox on Linux and its pdf reader sort of works but it is really bad compared to a dedicated reader, e.g. when you want to scroll quickly or zoom the magnfication around. Try downloading a pdf book from archive.org and reading it with Firefox. I'm using the LTE version from Debian so maybe that isn't as good as some of the other builds though, hmm.
