I’m sure you can upload epub books on Rachel as the epub app is already supported. Not sure on the installation of additional apps on Rachel as I haven’t done it myself but I’ve created two custom modules already and added them to a Rachel Pi device.

Modules is pretty straightforward but not sure how apps will work.

Hi Picky,
Thank you for your time to respond to my question. It is good to learn that you have received success in uploading the E-books app. I would highly appreciate to receive, if you can share the steps or guidance document (any reference) you used for uploading those in RACHEL device. I tried multiple times in RACHEL Plus device multiple time but could not receive success.
Regards,
Alka

What method were you using to upload? The direct upload module from Admin/Settings?

I suggest you upload this pre-built modules if its your first time.
See this link.
You can of course create custom modules but it requires a bit of understanding of html and ftp to transfer the modules.
I will try to put together some basic steps on that.
