Hi! I have a dillema. I am creating an app (not covering the name now cause its not an ad).

1. I can go a full offline approach and create an amazing reader, but with limited functions (you must download dictionaries and books manually).

2. I could also use the Internet permission to for example lookup book data, sync with a FTP/nextcloud server, create my own reading list sync, and manage dictionaries automatically.

I as an app user would not like for a reader to have the Internet permission, my immediate thought is, why does it need it? Couldn't there just be a bloat-free and with no doubts of trackers? And, isn't there like tons of readers filled to the brim with those features, and they feel just bloated?

Please help me with this dillema, share your thoughts!

Hi! I am an indie dev, and I created this open-source ebook reader (EPUB, PDF, CBZ) and in the future more! I would ask you to help me test my app!
