Kafka for Internet Archive

Kafka Archives

About this app

Kafka provides unlimited access to millions of text and audio files. 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 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].

You can visit www.archive.org for more information about the source of content. Please feel free to contribute text or audiobooks through www.archive.org/upload.

Ratings and reviews

Though it's a positive step to encourage readers and add value to readers' life, I have some reviews or suggestions to improve the app. 1. The app doesn't have a separate menu section which makes it difficult to search different things repetitively such as audiobooks, pdfs, etc. 2. Few people wish to read or listen to only famous writers so a specific to that section should be made for such writers. 3. The search buffer time is high. Could be less to better the app. otherwise the app's good.

So far no issues with this app, it works great and is simple to use. I would love to see an option to hide the Home, Search and Library taskbar when my phone is in landscape mode as it takes up quite a bit of space and distracts me from what I am trying to view.

Kudos to the developers! One suggestion: please make the audios resume from the last listened position instead of starting over. Helps in the case of audiobooks.
