Kafka for Internet Archive

Kafka Archives

About this app

Kafka provides unlimited access to millions of PDFs and audiobooks. It uses Internet Archive (archive.org) to let you search, play, read, download, and freely share files across various genres and languages, all for free and without ads.

The app has an in-built audio player to browse and listen to audiobook playlists seamlessly, a PDF reader with features like bookmarks and continue-reading, and a download manager to let you save files to your device and share freely.

This is an open-source project with goals aligned with the Internet Archive's. Internet Archive hosts 14.7 million audio recordings and 41 million texts, all available in the public domain.

Kafka works on Android phones and tablets, so you can take your books and audio wherever you go. We are also contributing Kafka Originals to the public domain.

The website can be found at www.kafkaarchives.com. The code is open-sourced at www.github.com/vipulyaara/kafka. You can contact us at [e-mail].

Ratings and reviews

The app is actually great. But there are some problems too. When I click on "Read" for any book, many times the book automatically starts downloading. Its so annoying because I first want to at least open and see the book to know if I want to download it or not. And then, even after you cancel the download, it shows the book as pending in downloads section which literally can't be deleted then. These glitches sometimes get very annoying and disturb the experience of such beautiful app.
