Incidentally I jailbroke my #kindle this week, and I wish I'd done it a decade ago tbh. Not only does #koreader read EPUB natively, but it can access libraries directly over wifi to download books - Standard Ebooks, Project Gutenberg, your local Calibre library...
It's amazing, even if it took a while to get it set up to my liking. The jailbreak is really easy and quick too.
One of the things I didn't want to miss out on is the current book art being used as the sleep screen. But no to worry, KOReader supports the current book as the sleep cover art.
I shouldn't be surprised as KOReader has exactly one bajillion features.
Well this is intriguing... a #Zotero plugin for #KOReader ... going to try this out later on my #Kobo

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?

I wrote a bit about how KOReader, PocketBook and Calibre are working for my workflow partially to reply to your note: https://brie.dev/ok-reader/ #KOReader
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
Conversei há pouco com um amigo que me contou sobre as maravilhas do #KOReader
Ainda não fiz o #Jailbreak no #Kindle , mas acho que é uma boa deixá-lo no modo Avião por enquanto, uma vez que as atualizações de firmware costumam ser automáticas. Fica a dica.
Logging in to say how happy and grateful I am to be able to make annotations on #EPUB on my e-reader running #KOReader, and to then be able to import and read those same EPUBs and annotations on my laptop in @zotero
This allows me to read long-form (I really struggle to do so on my laptop) and still take digital notes (not having to manually copy afterwards.)
#KOReader ist ja schon ziemlich geil, aber es kann doch nicht so schwer sein, dem beizubringen, auf lokale Shares zuzugreifen ... Was für ein elendes Gefummel.
@isAutonomous @UlrikeHeiss falls du Spaß und etwas Zeit hast deinen alten Kindle zu versuchen mit #opensource wieder flott zu bekommen und dir die Hardware einerseits noch gefällt und keine Angst hast das Gerät zu schrotten, weil du dir eh ein neues kaufen würdest, kannst du auch #koreader testen https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Installation-on-Kindle-devices
Me acabo de enterar que salió un "jailbreak" para todos los #Kindle llamado #WinterBreak. Gracias a esto, por ejemplo, le puedes poner #KOReader a estos cachorros que no son mal aparato, creo.
