Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no "Editor's Picks" on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here.

What apps do you recommend I install first to remove my dependence on closed ecosystems?

What is my vulnerability surface ie, which sort of apps should I watch out for?

Are there any bad faith companies in the open source sphere?

How well would you say Libera Reader works? Do you have experience using it?

It works perfectly well. I find the ui bit clunky personally, but functionally it works very well. I don't have much time to read anymore though, so I rarely use it to be honest.

Librera Reader is the best reader I have had the honour to try. I have been using Librera Reader for several years now, and I think it is safe to say I love the app. It is actively maintained, and new features are added continuously. There are plenty of settings to allow you to modify the user experience exactly to your liking. If you are considering reading any e-books or PDFs on your Android devices, give Librera Reader a try. It is a fantastic app.

I read a lot, and currently I read with calibre on my pc since I can highlight and export them directly so I can include them in my notes. I'd like it if I could run the calibre server and be able to higlight on my phone, and sync it over to my pc automatically.
