This is a bit frustrating as Koha is great with everything else...
Everything in Koha comes from someone's time, effort, and ultimately money.
It seems Authors are willing to donate their on-line books to the library, but they want to stop the Download and print options....
That's quite interesting to know. You have authors in mind for this already?
Koha does great as only logged in users can access the on-line book.... It just doesn't go the extra mile.
I would be willing to pay for this feature as it would be a pain to have to look at another software.
It's an interesting topic, and you're not alone in wanting this feature. It's an increasingly common request I've heard amongst my Koha users.
On Mattermost, I thought that you were wanting to implement DRM with downloadable ebooks, and that is quite complicated.
But here it sounds like you're more interested in a web-based ereader available only to authenticated users. That is different, and I have had a number of libraries desire this same feature in recent years.
I'd have to do some more thinking, but I think it might be doable with a Koha plugin. You'd need to pay a developer (like myself or someone else from the Paid Support vendors https://koha-community.org/support/paid-support/), but it might be doable.
Dear David, Yes it is the e-reader feature we are after. I am keen to look at the Koha plugin and cost. If you could come up with a price , I would be keen to consider. If a bunch of us could share the cost of development that would be great and the plugin could be available for everyone... Yes i/we would be keen to look at the paid Koha plugin options.
