* Add support for configuring and using multiple OPDS servers, replacing the previous single-server limitation. Closes https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/issues/1178 * New OpdsServerStore singleton (modeled after WifiCredentialStore) that persists up to 8 OPDS servers to /.crosspoint/opds.json with MAC-based password obfuscation. * One-time migration from legacy single-server fields in CrossPointSettings to the new store on first boot. * New OpdsServerListActivity for the device UI — works in two modes: a settings list (add/edit/delete servers) and a picker (select which server to browse). When only one server is configured, the picker is skipped automatically. * Renamed CalibreSettingsActivity → OpdsSettingsActivity for clarity. It now edits individual OpdsServer entries (name, URL, username, password, delete). * OpdsBookBrowserActivity now receives an OpdsServer at construction and uses its credentials for all fetches/downloads, and shows the server name in the header. * HttpDownloader::fetchUrl and downloadToFile accept optional per-call username/password parameters instead of reading from global settings. * REST API endpoints on CrossPointWebServer: GET /api/opds, POST /api/opds, POST /api/opds/delete — passwords are never exposed over the API (only a hasPassword flag), and omitting the password field on update preserves the existing one. * Web UI (SettingsPage.html) with dynamic OPDS server management cards — add, edit, save, and delete servers from the browser. <img width="932" height="906" alt="SCR-20260416-stvu" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a8f18d84-4204-46a0-bb31-b73d24b3255f" /> * The OpdsServerStore JSON format and obfuscation scheme are identical to WifiCredentialStore, so the same JsonSettingsIO infrastructure handles both. * The web API uses POST /api/opds/delete instead of DELETE /api/opds because the ESP32 WebServer doesn't support the DELETE method with a request body. * Existing single-server configurations are migrated automatically — no user action required. After migration the legacy CrossPointSettings fields are cleared so it only runs once. * The HttpDownloader changes are backward-compatible: the credential parameters default to empty strings, so existing callers are unaffected. --- While CrossPoint doesn't have restrictions on AI tools in contributing, please be transparent about their usage as it helps set the right context for reviewers.

CrossPoint Reader ++
This firmware is based on the crosspoint-reader for the XTEINK X4, a great piece of software by Dave Allie and others
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).
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.
What's different
- Proper KOReader Snychronisation (including https TLS OOM fix)
- Fixes for a lot of css rendering issues
- Additional sleep screens support (information overlay, transparent pictures over current reader screen)
- Clock-Support
- Weather information panel
- Multiple under-the-hood performance improvements
- Book information screen
- ...
Choosing the right reader...
Your usecase might be completely different from mine, so I try to give an overview of the different reader flavors to my best knowledge. If you know of more variants / have more information, then let me know
