Most of actively maintained extension are from Keiyoushi, which is open source and community maintained.
It has 1300+ extension from various sites and platform across diverse languages.
Now I mainly use Mihon, but back in the day I use Nyaa.si to download and ReadEra for reader
Mihon
I'm an old timer and was recommended tachiyomi a lot, but these days I just go online TBH. Most manga isn't worth it for me to keep
Mihon (tachiyomi fork) can track and sync progress to mal. Makes switching sources way easier.
Does it work on desktop? Linux?
Dunno. Afaik Tachiyomi doesnt officially exist as a desktop app either so maybe only emulation of the android app?
Yeah I'm looking for something like this for Linux desktop
On fmhy there is a mangadex downloader link, I use that python tool. You can add a flag to it that converts it into an ebook format. And if your ebook reader can read it than you are good to go. Might not be what you are looking for tho, you need a pc to use it
Kotatsu works great for me.
I am still currently using Tachiyomi (Android only) bc it still works, but the dev dropped developing it bc of lawsuits. There are forks of it as well
You can backup and import everything into mihon very easily. Including sources.
Not a pirate method, but a library card and the app Libby are great for this.
No manga at all at mine
Bummer, the collections available depend on your library. Mine was bountiful. At one point I signed up for like 4 different library cards in major cities without ever living there. They might have made it more difficult to do that now.
Look up mihon. Android only
Second Mihon. It's an all-in-one downloader and reader, and supports reading offline.
I can third Mihon. Just make sure you download the Keyoushi extensions to go with it
+1 for kotatsu, it's a fork of tachiomi.
I've used Kotatsu. It's pretty good for all kinds of comics (not just Japanese manga).
You can download chapters while on WiFi and read without using data.
+1 for Kotatsu. It's a bit easy on the NSFW offerings, so, be careful with that in case this is important to the OP.
