CLUSTER BROWSER-DIRECTLY-EPUB · 8 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2020-02-25
Browser-based EPUB readers
The cluster consists of web-based tools for uploading, converting, reading, and managing EPUB e-books, including features like reading progress and collections. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from; only 4 dated members exist, and the rest are undated. Among those with traction signals, WebToEpub-App leads with 4 stars, while TaqReader and booklore have 0.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 8 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
