legado

Project Overview

Yuedu R is an enhanced branch in the Legado open-source reader ecosystem that keeps the familiar reading experience while rebuilding theme management and deepening native EPUB reading. It strengthens the AI assistant so it can call tools, search book sources, and read books and chapters, and it improves the discover page, subscription page, and comic and video reading.

On top of the familiar reader, themes, EPUB, and AI all feel more polished.

Key Features

• Custom book sources: set your own rules to scrape web data, with in-app rule documentation
• Theme management: day and night themes, background images, interface colors, plus theme import, export, and cloud sync
• EPUB reading: fills in images, annotations, pagination caching, and complex styles, with large-file import
• AI assistant: tool calling, book source search, book and chapter reading, reading record queries, and web search
• Discover and subscribe: unified source selection, subscription content search, URL-only feeds, and a merged entry
• Comics and video: stronger comic reading controls and direct video playback pages
• Local reading: reads local TXT and EPUB with smart scanning
• Reading customization: font, color, background, line and paragraph spacing, and several page-turn modes

Target Audience

• Long-time users of the Legado source ecosystem
• Readers who care about EPUB reading quality
• Users who want an AI assistant while reading
• People who like to tinker with themes and the interface

Quick Start

1. Download the matching installer from the Releases page and install it
2. Open the app, import legitimate sources, or open local TXT and EPUB files
3. Find books through search or discover and add them to the bookshelf
4. Manage themes, the AI assistant, and subscriptions in settings

Core Advantages

• Ecosystem continuity: keeps Legado's sources, subscriptions, and purification rules
• Better EPUB: native EPUB rendering keeps improving for stable long-text layout
• Extensible AI: the assistant can call tools to search sources and chapters
• Swappable interface: themes import, export, and sync to the cloud

System Requirements

Item	Requirement
OS	Android
Packages	Beta updates in place; the stable build uses a separate coexisting package name
Content	The app ships no content; import sources or local books yourself

Notes

• The app ships no book content or sources; prepare legitimate sources yourself
• The AI assistant requires you to configure a working service
• Sources depend on target site structure and may break after a redesign
