Librera only reads local files, so you need to already have your books. It has a few reading modes, does text to speech to turn regular books into audiobooks, sheet music mode to flip pages for you, and some other fancy stuff I haven’t tried.
I used to use MoonReader, but this is FOSS so I switched over. If you get it from F-droid, you get the pro version and it also has no Google Play services.
If you have a source of book files (PDF, epub, Kindle, cbz, etc) such as Project Gutenberg or another alternative repository of books, you are set. The archive source I use has the things I look for: older fiction, sheet music, programming books.
You are likely not missing out on anything. The feature set is on the F-droid link, so you can see if there’s anything extra you’d like to try. Moon Reader is probably a bit more polished and pretty to my recollection.
I would disable Network Access at least, if you’ve never done it go to App Info (holding the app’s icon) -> Mobile Data Usage -> Allow Network Access (at least it’s there now in A14 / LOS 21, could be slightly different in other versions)
Is it easy to find specific books on Librera?
I use Libby for my local library system and books I want to read are often not available or have a waiting list.
