Enable OPDS access, copy the Binge Reader catalog URL, and add it in Thorium Reader’s catalog area. Authenticate when prompted, browse to a book, and acquire a test EPUB. Keep Binge Reader as the master catalog.
Add the private feed
Use the exact OPDS URL from Binge Reader rather than its homepage. Give the catalog a clear name so it is not confused with public feeds. Do not save credentials on a shared computer.
Test the acquired publication
Download one EPUB and check its table of contents, cover, and text layout in Thorium. The desktop copy is useful for reading, but later metadata changes in Binge Reader may not rewrite an already downloaded file.
Plan for separate reading state
Thorium manages its own local position and annotations for books acquired through OPDS. If you need progress to appear on Kobo, KOReader, or the Binge Reader web reader, read through those supported shared-state routes instead.
The details, at a glance.
| Consider | What to look for |

| Client | Thorium catalog browser |
| Download | A local reading copy |
| State | Usually remains in Thorium |
A few things worth asking.
Is Thorium a live mirror of my Binge Reader library?
No. The catalog is live, but downloaded files and local reading state are managed by Thorium.
Will a Binge Reader metadata edit change my Thorium copy?
Not necessarily. Remove and reacquire the book if you specifically need an updated delivered file.
