Data Sources

Data sources & providers

The whole idea of oboku is to synchronize your contents automatically from various data sources (or providers).

Although adding a local file is supported on oboku, this makes the book only available on this specific device. Oboku is more than that, it helps you manage your libraries completely hassle free and make it accessible to all your devices.

Whether you put your files on a NAS, a server, Google Drive, etc... oboku can synchronize them automatically and organize them for you.

We obviously cannot synchronize your content from services such as Google Play Book, Rakuten Kobo or Kindle since they are proprietary, not open and doing so would be illegal.

Sharing is Caring!

Because you can use whatever provider you want, you can share your libraries with your friends. For example you could create a shared folder on your Google Drive and invite your friends to add content in it. Everyone can then add this shared folder as data source in their oboku account and start synchronizing their library.

You all share the same contents but you all have your own library, reading state, preferences, etc.
