Open OPDS catalog in Pocketbook Reader app

peter_kiel · 01-20-2021, 12:27 PM

I can't figure out how to open an OPDS catalog, for example "www.feedbooks.com/catalog.atom", in the Pocketbook Reader app.
In google play store description is said: • Support for OPDS catalogs - get access to network libraries;
I hope someone here is able to guide me through the menu.

Regards,
Peter

Tap on the 3 bars at the top left and select "Network Libraries". Click on the + in a folder icon at the top and enter the url http://www.feedbooks.com/catalog.atom and add a title then select OK.

TADA all done

Thank you for your answer. In german ui there is no "Netzwerk-Bücherei", so I switched ui to english and TATA now it works.

Hello Peter,
thanks for your explanation. Helped.
What helps more. It may be that pocketbook will have this feature with German UI in on of the next updates. I've told the support this behavior and they replied that they could reproduce the issue and software department will try to fix it. So, since when is this (from the beginning) and why did no one contact the support? Hopefully it will be fixed.
As I'm also using Pocketbook reader app on iOS and there is nothing to change the language I couldn't use OPDS there. But with latest updated they have built it in - so it was not in there for all languages.

Have a good reading time
Felix
