I love moonlight, I use an ipad with a gamesir controller for streaming from my ... perfect for passing the time while trying to get my 6 month old to sleep in his ergobaby.

Interesting, I read epubs on Android using aiTTS as TTS engine using Google cloud voices.

What I would really like is an option to download the whole book as mp3 for offline playback, and different voices for each character.

Moon+ Reader has offline playback although the voices aren't as good, but on the bright side, if someone makes a local AI text-to-speech engine, then that can plug into the app and it'll work fully offline.

Nice, well you can download each audio file you convert to your device at any time.

I found a single file didn't make sense as you lose your place in it easily.

Instead splitting each chapter into a file seemed to do well.

But, you really do want a listening app. Otherwise it get harder to share and listen to on your phone.

So far I created a listening app as a PWA for the time being.

I use an audiobook app (Voice audiobook player on Android) which holds my place in line for even large single-file books.

Same here.

And also Firefox with uBlock origin.

Sideloading in iOS might finally convince me to move away from Android.

It used to matter in the past, but it seems like these days the effect is not very significant...

Last year we ran a test which involved artificially bloating one of our IPAs from 160mb to 260mb* and compared the app performance metrics* before and after the change, we saw no meaningful difference between the two versions.

By using the app thinning mechanism, you can create a different IPA sizes for different devices.

* CPI, CPS etc.
