Connecting KOReader

First start sharing in Mangabound, and connect your reader to the same reachable local network.

Add Mangabound as an OPDS catalog in KOReader. Recently converted lists the books you just processed, newest first; Other files lists untracked books in a shared library.

Once downloaded, the book is local to your reader. Mangabound does not need to remain open for reading—only for further downloads. If the computer’s address stays the same, the catalog can be reused next time you enable sharing.
