Pudding

A simple mobile app for reading and managing ebooks. With full support for ePub files on both Android and *iOS

[!NOTE] Although pudding should build to and function on iOS devices it has not been tested on these devices.

Why?

There are plenty of ebook readers available, why make another? Mostly for more simplicity, a simpler more friendly UI and all the features we where personally looking for. (whilst having no adverts)

Pudding is currently in beta, as such it can currently only be installed either from releases here on github or built from source. See instructions for each of these below. Once we reach full releases pudding will be distributed on Google Play and F-Droid with the potential of official iOS releases.
