About book apps

Books on Awesome Indie means apps and tools around reading and writing them: e-book builders, reading libraries, children's story generators, publishing helpers and ways to visualize your reading history. Readers, authors and parents are the main audiences. It is close to the writing and AI writing categories, and the difference is that the finished object here is a book or a reading experience rather than a general piece of text. Ebookany turns web content into a personal e-book library, and Readstats visualizes Goodreads data.

If you are a reader, check which formats the product supports and whether it works with your e-reader, since Kindle, EPUB and PDF each behave differently. See whether your library is stored locally or in an account you can export. If you are an author, compare how the tool handles formatting for the retail platforms you plan to use, whether you keep all rights to your text, and how any AI assistance is disclosed. Retailers have rules for machine-generated books, so be sure you understand them before publishing. Pricing models range from free to subscription, so test before paying.

Indie makers here are often readers or writers who built what their own shelf was missing, and that gives the tools a personal touch. They are also easy to contact if a conversion goes wrong or a format is missing.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose an e-book creation tool?

Check which output formats it makes, how it handles formatting for the platform you will publish on, whether you keep your rights, and what it costs. Test with a short sample first.

Can I read web articles as e-books?

Yes, several tools convert web pages into e-book files you can send to a reader. Check supported formats, how well it handles images and layout, and whether it keeps your library private.

Can I publish a book written with AI help?

Retail platforms have their own policies, which often require disclosure of machine-generated content. Read the rules for each store, review every page yourself, and make sure you hold the rights to what you publish.

Some of the projects I've been working on include: 📱 NotLate – A wellness app designed to help with overthinking and restless nights. 💰 ZapSpend – An expense tracker with receipt scanning, voice input, and CSV/PDF exports. 🚛 Trucker Diary – An iOS app built for truck drivers. 🎵 Duo Vinyl – A digital vinyl turntable experience for music lovers. As a solo developer, one of my biggest challenges isn't just building products. It's getting them discovered, attracting users, and figuring out what actually works after launch. 🌐 https://www.adribyte-studio.com/mobile-apps #IndieHacker #IndieDeveloper #iOSDevelopment #SaaS #Startup

I'm Khizar, founder of PotatoTools. I built PotatoTools because I was frustrated with online tools that were full of ads, paywalls, and forced signups. PotatoTools focuses on fast, browser-based tools that help with data conversion, calculations, content creation, productivity, and everyday tasks. No ads. No signup. No unnecessary complexity. Just useful tools that work. We're just getting started and would love your feedback on what tools you'd like to see next. Thanks for checking it out! Visit Potato Tools : https://potatotools.com/

A reading-note workflow worth testing: keep the excerpt and your interpretation separate. Capture a short passage with its source, then write one sentence about why it matters. Put related ideas into a mind map, and revisit the original passage before turning a note into a claim. This keeps a memorable quote from becoming a conclusion without context. This is the workflow behind MindNote, the cross-platform reading app I am building. It connects book excerpts, personal notes and mind maps, with a route back to the source and sync across Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. The product and reading workflow are here: https://www.mindnote.site/ How do you keep your own interpretation distinguishable from an author’s words?

A café changes the price of an espresso. Where does the old price survive? Usually in the menu PDF linked from Maps, even after someone updates the counter menu. For Menu-on we keep the destination stable: the QR code on the table and the link in the café’s profile open the same menu. The owner sends us the change; we edit the dish without replacing either link. One useful test: scan yesterday’s printed code after changing a price, then switch languages and check the same dish. The menu and editor are shown here: https://menu-on.com/main?lang=en
