Plato is a document reader application for Kobo e-ink e-readers, written in Rust. It supports PDF, EPUB, DJVU, CBZ, FB2, MOBI, XPS and TXT formats with features like margin cropping, annotations, and dictionary lookups.

Use cases

  • read pdfs and epubs on a Kobo e-reader
  • replace the stock Kobo reader with a faster alternative
  • annotate and highlight documents on an e-ink device
  • look up word definitions while reading
  • crop pdf margins for better reading on small screens
  • read djvu and cbz files on an e-reader

When to choose

  • you own a supported Kobo device and want a responsive, feature-rich reading app
  • you need better pdf handling (cropping, fit-to-width, rotation) than the stock reader
  • you want annotations, bookmarks, and dictionary support on e-ink

When to avoid

  • you don't own a Kobo e-reader
  • you need a document reader for desktop or mobile platforms
  • you require DRM-protected ebook support
