# Why this fork
Unfortunately the official repository suffers from too many good ideas floating around and a lack of clear governance how to deal
with these contributions, so it's lacking fundamental fixes for a proper reading experience (rendering issues, sub-par sync
capabilities with KOReader, a popular multi-platform open-source epub reader)
capabilities with KOReader, a popular multi-platform open-source epub reader).
Trying to contribute enhancements / fixes became increasingly difficult as the lack of progress effectively prevented further development.
Therefore this branch focuses on real fixes and real improvements while trying to keep up to pace with developments in the main branch.
