### Intro​

This article is based on a recent video exploring how **[Readest](https://readest.com/)** and **[KOReader](https://www.ereadersforum.com/forums/koreader.26/)** now work together to enable fully synchronized reading across virtually any device. For those who read on multiple platforms — from e-readers and tablets to phones and computers — this development could mark a turning point in digital reading convenience.

Until recently, readers who wanted seamless progress tracking and syncing had to juggle multiple services such as Readwise Reader or BookFusion. While these tools offered partial solutions, compatibility issues remained, especially with popular e-ink readers like Kindle or Kobo. Readest appears to solve that gap.

### Overview​

Readest acts as a bridge between the **KOReader ecosystem** and modern mobile platforms. Available on iOS, Android, macOS, and the web, it allows users to synchronize reading positions and progress across all devices — including Kindle, Kobo, and Onyx Boox models.

This setup means a reader can start a book on their iPhone, continue on a Kobo, and finish on an Android tablet without losing their place. By integrating a dedicated KOReader plugin, Readest ensures consistent syncing between e-ink readers and more traditional devices.

#### How the Integration Works​

Readest’s synchronization relies on its built-in plugin for KOReader, both developed by the same creator. The result is near-flawless compatibility across 14–15 devices, regardless of brand or operating system.

Users can manually control synchronization — long-pressing to “pull” the latest reading progress or tapping to “push” updates — or allow it to happen automatically. This ensures that even devices like the Kindle Paperwhite, which cannot run typical third-party reading apps, remain part of the synced ecosystem.

#### Device Flexibility​

The flexibility of this setup extends beyond standard e-readers. Android-based devices, such as the Onyx Boox Palma 2 or the AI Paper Mini, can run both KOReader and Readest, giving users the freedom to choose their preferred reading interface. Even RLCD tablets like the Paper 7 can participate in the sync network, offering fast refresh speeds and a natural, eye-friendly display for well-lit environments.

### Why It Matters​

For dedicated readers managing large libraries across multiple devices, Readest and KOReader together eliminate one of the biggest pain points in digital reading: fragmented progress. This combination offers a **truly universal reading ecosystem** that works equally well on e-ink, LCD, and RLCD screens.

The integration also opens the door to future synchronization of highlights and notes — a feature already promised by the developer. That addition could position Readest as a serious alternative to established library management tools like BookFusion or Readwise Reader, especially for users who prefer KOReader’s open-source flexibility.

### Subscription and Storage Options​

Readest offers both a **free plan** and a **Pro tier**, the latter providing expanded storage for larger digital libraries. The free plan supports up to roughly 50 books, while Pro users can choose between a one-time payment or a subscription model to unlock more storage space and future premium features.

This pricing structure makes it accessible for beginners while scaling easily for heavy readers who need to manage extensive collections across many devices.

### Key Takeaways​

-   Readest integrates directly with KOReader, allowing full synchronization across iOS, Android, Kindle, Kobo, and more.
-   Manual or automatic sync ensures precise control over reading progress.
-   Works on unique display technologies, including e-ink and RLCD.
-   Free and Pro storage tiers suit both casual and advanced users.
-   Future updates promise synchronization of highlights and notes.
