BookOrbit

The Kindle and Goodreads alternative

From $5 / month · billed monthly · cancel anytime

BookOrbit is a digital library you read in the browser, with progress and bookmarks synced across Kobo and KOReader. Sort books, comics, and audiobooks into collections instead of accepting whatever a store decides to shelve. As an alternative to Kindle and Goodreads, the files and your reading history sit on your own infrastructure, so nothing is revoked remotely and nobody is logging the page you stopped on.

Frequently asked

How much does it cost to host BookOrbit?
Hosting BookOrbit on Zenith is $5 / month, billed monthly until you cancel.
How long does BookOrbit take to deploy?
Most apps are live on your own subdomain in about two minutes after you deploy.
Do I need to manage a server to run BookOrbit?
No. Zenith runs BookOrbit for you, with no servers to provision or maintain.
Can I use my own domain with BookOrbit?
Yes. Each deployment gets a Zenith subdomain, and you can map your own custom domain to it afterwards.
Can I deploy BookOrbit with Claude or another AI agent?
Yes. Zenith has a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://zenith.hosting/mcp. Add the endpoint from Claude, Cursor or another MCP client, connect your account, and ask the agent to deploy BookOrbit. Each paid deployment still requires your cost approval. Setup is at https://zenith.hosting/connect.
