Q&A
Common questions about FolioSpace Reader
A few practical notes for importing books, connecting remote libraries, and understanding what FolioSpace Reader does locally on Apple Vision Pro.
Book Formats
Which file formats can FolioSpace Reader open?
FolioSpace Reader supports EPUB books, PDF documents, and CBZ or ZIP comic archives. Image-based ZIP archives work best when they contain page images in reading order.
Can FolioSpace Reader open MOBI, AZW, or AZW3 files?
Not directly yet. These Kindle formats should be converted to EPUB first, for example with Calibre, and then imported into FolioSpace Reader.
Why does a ZIP book fail to import?
Some ZIP files use compression methods that are not supported by the system reader yet. Re-exporting the archive from Calibre, Komga, or another ZIP tool with standard deflate compression usually fixes it.
Remote Libraries
What address should I use for Komga?
Use Komga's OPDS catalog address, not just the server home page. It usually looks like:
http://192.168.10.175:8088/opds/v1.2/catalog
Replace the IP address and port with your own Komga server address. If your Komga server requires sign-in, enter the same username and password you use for Komga.
What address should I use for Calibre-Web?
Start with the address of your Calibre-Web server, including
http:// or https://. If your setup exposes
a specific OPDS endpoint, use that endpoint. Make sure OPDS is
enabled in Calibre-Web settings.
Why can my Mac open the server but Vision Pro cannot?
Your Vision Pro must be able to reach the same network address.
Check that both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network, the server is
running, the port is open, and your router or firewall is not
blocking local network access. If you use a private IP address such
as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x, it usually
only works inside your local network.
Can I use a remote library outside my home network?
Yes, if your server is reachable from outside your local network, but you are responsible for securing it. Prefer HTTPS, strong passwords, and a trusted private network or reverse proxy. Avoid exposing an unsecured book server directly to the internet.
Does FolioSpace Reader upload my books to its own server?
No. FolioSpace Reader does not operate a cloud library for your books. Local books stay on your device. Remote library requests go to the Calibre-Web or Komga server address you enter.
Is FolioSpace Library a cloud service?
No. FolioSpace Library is self-hosted. You deploy the server on your own NAS, Docker host, or local server. FolioSpace Library does not host your books, PDFs, comics, ROMs, or documents.
Does FolioSpace Library provide ROM downloads?
No. Game library support only indexes and manages user-owned local ROM files. FolioSpace Library does not provide ROM downloads, distribution, or built-in copyrighted resources.
Is FolioSpace Library a full Plex or Jellyfin replacement?
No. FolioSpace Library now supports lightweight local video indexing, direct Range streaming, cached HLS playback for incompatible codecs, and local cover or thumbnail handling. It does not yet provide online movie metadata lookup, server-side subtitle management, multi-user watch history, or full media-server curation.
Library and Pro
How many books can I keep for free?
The free library supports up to 10 books. FolioSpace Reader Pro removes the local library limit and unlocks Pro reading experiments.
Do remote library books count before I import them?
Browsing a remote OPDS catalog does not add those books to your local library. A book counts after you import it into FolioSpace Reader.
How do I restore a previous purchase?
Open the FolioSpace Reader Pro screen and choose Restore Purchases. Make sure you are signed in with the Apple ID that originally made the purchase.
Reading Experience
Is FolioSpace Reader a virtual bookshelf?
No. FolioSpace Reader is designed around quiet reading, not displaying decorative 3D book models. The goal is to make books, documents, and visual pages comfortable to read in a spatial environment.
Does FolioSpace Reader include books or comics?
No. FolioSpace Reader is a reading app. You import your own books, documents, and comics, or connect to your own Calibre-Web or Komga library.
