DPUB Summit 2023 - 13 - Thorium Reader Summer 2023

Thorium is a free and open-source software application for desktop operating systems (i.e. Windows, Mac, Linux). Thorium’s goal is to offer one of the best reading experiences for several mainstream and specialised publication formats, such as EPUB, DAISY, audiobooks, Divina comic books, PDF. Thorium’s user interface aims for simplicity and clarity, with a core focus on accessibility (from baseline usability to supporting a variety of screen readers and assistive technologies). Thorium integrates the LCP DRM technology which can be used for ebook purchases and time-limited library loans. Thorium provides access to OPDS content servers, with support for several authentication methods. Thorium is maintained by a small and dedicated development team, under EDRLab’s leadership. Join this presentation to hear about user-centric design, technical challenges, and Thorium’s plans for the future!
A presentation by Daniel Weck, software engineer working with EDRLab and the DAISY Consortium to build solutions in the space of digital publishing and accessible media.

[@FrancoisSchnell]

Thanks for this great software. in 2.3.0 i can't see the annotations/highlight feature visible in your video at 22:34. Is this something to come ?
Edit : Ha that's here 34:33. looking forward to this feature, keep the great work :)
Edit 2 : Annotations/highlight pull request 1216 seems to be frozen since October 2023.
It's the only feature I need in order to ditch Amazon reader.
