Goodbye Kindle. Hello KOReader.

https://video.fosshq.org/w/97qMdCrFrzwwmoctVLz7Kz

Maybe a long shot, but has anyone gotten KOReader and Nickelmenu running on a converted Tolino to Kobo ereader? Originally branded as a Tolino Shine Color and currently running as a Kobo Clara Colour. Usually it's straightforward on native Kobo (Linux) and works after some jumping through hoops on older Tolinos (Android) but this one has me stuck. It's pretty much Kobo, but not all? I have already visited GitHub, Mobileread and e-reader-forum (de).

I like reading #ebooks on both my phone and an #ereader. I used to read on Kindle because it kept the books in sync, regardless of where I bought them.

But now I use #KOReader on my #Kobo ereader and my phone, and it also syncs them, but with the added benefit that Amazon doesn't track my reading.

I can recommend it.

Well this is intriguing... a #Zotero plugin for #KOReader ... going to try this out later on my #Kobo

Jak zobaczyłem że mogę odamazonić kindla w 7 krokach to pomyślałem „zróbmy to”
Tylko że tych kroków było ze 40…

No i mam tego koreadera i jeszcze nie wiem jak tam wgrać książki. Sam program mi się nie podoba - klasyczny „geekowie geekom” - może gdzieś jest opcja uproszczonego interfejsu ale z ulgą na razie odpuściłem sobie dalszą zabawę. Poczytam coś na kobulku.

Less than a week into my new #BOOX Note Air4, and I already don’t know how my life was before it.

This device is amazing. After years spent using old B&W notebooks and synchronizing them to SD cards, I have a notebook that runs a modern version of Android, and with a Notes app that actually supports WebDAV synchronization - which means that my notes will be available as PDF files on my Nextcloud instance as soon as I close them.

Since it runs Android pretty much without restrictions, I’ve also proceeded with installing F-Droid on it and Fennec, Element, my RSS app, Nextcloud Notes and ntfy.

Oh, and since it’s basically an Android tablet with a color e-ink screen and 6GB of RAM you could also watch videos on it (but again just because you can it doesn’t mean that you should).

And its AI features are also nice an unintrusive. Wrap some handwritten stuff in a square/rectangle, and it can easily be converted into text. Do a messy scribble on something, and anything underneath will be erased (although I still think that the double-sided pen/eraser gadget shipped with the Mobiscribe was more intuitive).

And this device really shines with the #KOReader app. It turns it into a powerful e-book reader, and with #Wallabag, RSS feeds and OPDS support (synchronized with my personal library running on #Ubooquity) you can’t ask for more.

Oh, and shall we talk about the ability to run SSH sessions on an e-ink tablet?

If anyone happens to use #KOReader...
How TF do I hide the keyboard letters from the bookcovers in the browser? This device is touchscreen, hitting letters to open books isn't helpful

Der #KOReader ist meine #FOSS App der Wahl auf allen meinen E-Ink-Geräten. Ja, die Lernkurve ist am Anfang steil, aber nach einer Weile kann man sich an all den vielen Einstellungen wie Ligaturen, Kerning usw. erfreuen.

Mein Killer-Feature ist der direkte Export meiner Anstreichungen direkt in #Joplin.

Dla wszystkich użytkowników czytników PocketBook, którzy chcieli używać KOReadera, ale się tego bali lub im nie pykło, przygotowałem pakiet do szybkiej i prostej instalacji. Zapraszam do lektury poradnika: http://cyfranek.booklikes.com/post/6628950/poradnik-prosta-instalacja-aplikacji-koreader-na-czytnikach-pocketbook

I think I'm finally ready to move #calibre off my laptop and onto a server for easier access from my ereader / #koreader

Any experiences with calibre vs calibre-web vs calibre-web-automated?

I recently switched from #Pocket to (self-hosted) #Wallabag and put #KOReader on my #Kobo #eInk reader.

It started as a quick "let's see how it goes", but developed into a complete switch, and a whole new way how I read and process books and articles. I am seriously impressed!

… might blog about it soon.
