About EinkBro

EinkBro is a web browser designed for E-Ink devices such as e-readers and e-note tablets. Its interface and reading controls are intended to work well on screens that refresh differently from conventional displays. Users can turn pages by tapping screen edges or pressing physical volume keys, switch to a reader view, adjust font size, use custom fonts, and enable bold text. A vertical reading mode is available for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean text, and the browser avoids animations while offering high-contrast icons. Beyond reading, EinkBro provides browsing tools for saving and organizing web content. Pages can be exported as EPUB with chapters and images, saved as PDFs with table-of-contents entries, or appended to an existing PDF. The browser can also archive pages in MHT format, capture full-page screenshots, and send pages to Instapaper. It supports many configurable toolbar actions that users can reorder, and the toolbar can be placed at the top, bottom, or side of the screen. Other navigation options include split-screen viewing, gestures, a floating navigation button, fullscreen mode, and multiple tabs. The browser includes a userscript engine compatible with common script APIs and per-script menu commands. Scripts can be matched to sites automatically and updated. It also offers page translation, text-to-speech, and tools to summarize or interact with page content through configurable AI services. The supplied description lists OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, and custom servers as options for these functions. Browsing controls include an ad blocker, JavaScript and cookie allowlists, removal of tracking parameters from URLs, incognito mode, and a per-site desktop view. Websites can request access to location, and storage permissions are used for saving pages and downloads. These options let readers tune the experience for low-refresh displays while retaining familiar browser functions and several ways to preserve articles for later reading.
