Paginis is a flipbook viewer that turns your PDFs into interactive, flip-through books. You can load a PDF from a URL or upload a local file—all while pairing it with a YouTube playlist for a more dynamic experience.
What Makes It Great? I made this as a side project because I read a lot, and the typical PDF viewer always felt a bit dry. With Paginis, you can add, update, or delete quotes and notes, use the bookmark feature to easily navigate chapters and sections, and enjoy a big page preview to get a quick overview of the content. It’s all about making reading more flexible and engaging.
Libraries & Tools: PDF.js, Three.js, DFlip, JQuery_DFlip, CSS

Would love to have an implementation of this in a virtual reality environment but for now, I prefer the actual look of PDF as a long strip of pages.
Yes it’s would be much cooler, I have a friend working on something like this, but he said it’s in it early development.
As the actual look of long stripes of pages is good, but as I said it has a bit dry look and not very engaging, when you read a lot, basic PDF viewer kills that joy. Anyway maybe I am wrong.
I have been moving to epub for reading books, my app of choice is Librera. It has many customization options.
Oh, never heard of it, I will check it, but does it only work on android?
Doesn’t seem like it, here is the fdroid link if there are any documented alternatives in the repos
Oh, I don’t like reading that much on a mobile phone, I installed it anyway, it can serve a good purpose when viewing small books. Thanks for sharing.
