Built-in Readers

Stump has a few different built-in readers that you can use to read your books. Each reader is designed to be used with a specific type of book, and they all have their own unique features.

Ebook Reader

A reader for reading ebooks, such as .epub files.

šŸš§

At the time of writing, ebooks are eagarly loaded for the reader, meaning your server will send the entire book to your client. This is far from ideal, and a streamable ebook reader (opens in a new tab) is planned for a future release so ebook reading sessions can be more network friendly.

Wow, such empty. Much sad.

Image-based Reader

A reader for reading image based books. These are valid archive files, such as .cbz/zip and .cbr/rar files.

Page-based Reader

A reader that displays each page one at a time.

Wow, such empty. Much sad.

Continuous scroll Reader

A reader that displays the entire book as one long page, allowing you to scroll through it either vertically or horizontally. Images are virtualized, so you can scroll through a book with hundreds of pages without any performance issues.
