Hello, can you please mention exactly which internet sources it connects to for downloading books/covers etc, also sites for uploading ebooks for the conversion?

It requires some Anti-feature tag on F-Droid as it connects to some Non-Free sites : https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/3206

Hi! I doesn't connect to non-free sites. I uses libgen for books and an API I made for book conversions.

Non-Free Network Services

This Anti-Feature is applied to apps that promote or depend entirely on a Non-Free network service, or any service which is impossible, or not easy to replace. Replacement requires changes to the app or service. This antifeature would not apply, if there is a simple configuration option that allows pointing the app to a running instance of an alternative, publicly available, self-hostable, free software server solution.

@aloussase libgen is a Shadow library which is clearly Non-Free. Anti-Feature added to F-Droid version. Would be nice if you could mention the download/upload sources clearly on the description page (fastlane) & Readme. Currently the sources aren't clear for general users.

Oh sorry for that, I did not know. Will make sure to add something like that to the description and readme for the next version. Thanks!
