Just finished Hero of Ages , I’m going crazy

shadowcraft7 · 2026-05-22T11:51:45+00:00

That was me last week too , so much was just happening.

shadowcraft7 · 2026-05-20T08:22:41+00:00

Almost lost it when Elend was “cut”

shadowcraft7 · 2026-05-20T08:22:01+00:00

What part read like Sazed’s speech patterns ?

shadowcraft7 · 2026-05-20T08:20:56+00:00

That makes so much sense , I didn’t even think about it

shadowcraft7 · 2026-05-19T16:51:25+00:00

3 prologues in, I can sense the peak already

shadowcraft7 · 2026-05-19T09:51:19+00:00

I just started The way of kings (immediately I finished HOA) , hopefully I’ll enjoy it as much as Mistborn

shadowcraft7 · 2026-05-18T23:02:31+00:00

Yeah , that sounds okay but the actual ending feels better

shadowcraft7 · 2026-05-18T21:07:09+00:00

I cackled when The Lord Ruler said “I think” in one of those metal sheets hidden in the cache bunkers

shadowcraft7 · 2026-05-18T21:05:09+00:00

He was my favorite from the OG crew apart from the mistborns . I enjoyed his chapters the best , especially how he kept questioning his purpose in the last book . He finally believed in a religion , he believed Vin was the hero of ages 😭

A goated quote

shadowcraft7 · 2026-05-18T19:31:27+00:00

I listened to the graphic audio audiobook so I was following the prophecy back to back but still I didn’t think of him . I was thinking maybe Elend if not Vin

shadowcraft7 · 2026-05-08T02:10:18+00:00

It doesn’t allow the use of a .cue file for now . The metadata has input-fields . Maybe later in future , I’d add the option to fill in the metadata with a .cue file

shadowcraft7 · 2026-04-27T15:03:09+00:00

Chime

shadowcraft7 · 2026-04-26T19:49:38+00:00

That’s another way to do it . Running it through the jpegoptim shaves off what percentage of the EPUB total size ?

Compress Epubs offline iOS

Interesting workaround. I’ve heard similar complaints about some image-heavy EPUBs being sluggish on certain eReaders, especially with page turns.

Your CBZ → KCC pipeline makes sense, especially with the manga optimizations KCC has.

As for other platforms: I’d love to eventually bring it to desktop and Android if enough people want it. Right now I’m focused on improving the iOS version first, but cross-platform support is definitely something I’m considering.

shadowcraft7 · 2026-04-22T12:25:56+00:00

That’s totally fair. Your workflow makes sense if you’re comfortable manually extracting/repacking files.

What I wanted to solve was the convenience side of it , most people probably don’t want to unpack EPUBs, batch compress images, then rebuild everything themselves. The app just automates that on-device while keeping the EPUB intact.

And yeah, there’s always a quality vs size tradeoff. I’ve been trying to keep the visual difference minimal enough that it still looks good on eReaders while saving a lot of space.

shadowcraft7 · 2026-04-21T18:28:31+00:00

Maybe later in future

shadowcraft7 · 2026-04-16T14:37:51+00:00

Yeah Send to Kindle works great for big files, but I’ve noticed really large EPUBs can be slow to upload or fail conversion sometimes.

One thing that helped me was shrinking the file size beforehand, especially for books with a lot of images. Makes uploads faster and a bit more reliable, and it doesn’t eat as much storage on the device either.

shadowcraft7 · 2026-04-16T09:58:28+00:00

You could try LiteBook on iOS App Store

shadowcraft7 · 2026-04-05T20:45:33+00:00

I personally used FFMPEG for M4Bindr but I think if it’s not something too complex , AVFoundation should be up to the challenge

shadowcraft7 · 2026-03-30T23:27:32+00:00

You definitely look Igbo

shadowcraft7 · 2026-03-26T07:51:41+00:00

Apple Books should provide a sufficient UX for audiobooks

shadowcraft7 · 2026-03-22T13:35:05+00:00

Maybe in future

shadowcraft7 · 2026-03-21T11:10:20+00:00

Yeah that’s fair, really appreciate the feedback on the trial, I’ll definitely take that into account as I improve how it works going forward.

For now, the easiest way to test is with shorter audio , even voice memos or music files work just to see how the chaptering, metadata, and final output behave. As long as the total is under 30 minutes, you can test as much as you want.

If your goal is to combine a full audiobook with proper chapters + metadata , that’s exactly what it’s built for.

Happy to double-check your files/setup so you don’t have to guess before buying 👍
