I've been working on an implementation in Go of the KOReader Sync stuff for a self-hostable sync server

https://github.com/Brunty/koreader-sync

Are there others out there that also do this? Yes

Did this need to exist? Maybe not

Am I having fun working on it as it's a simple project to get to grips with some stuff in Go because I'm new to that language? Yes

Am I already using it as the target for KOReader Sync on my #PocketBook Era Color? Yes

Amazon is about to render your old #Kindle almost useless - but there are things you can do to keep #reading! #eReaders #eBooks #BookWorm #BookLover

Any volunteers to replace the USB-C port on my eReader? I just watched a video on how to do it and....hard pass.

Stuck in #Xteink delivery bad dream. I don’t normally recommend Amazon, but for your Xteink, definitely order from Amazon, not from the company in China. You’ll have some level of consumer protection that way.

It’s been 6 days since it was Out for Delivery. They never brought it, claimed I needed to confirm my address, I did that twice by phone and once in email, and they went silent (no they didn't, see update below). I’m out over a hundred bucks.

En este día del libro mi recomendación es que os vayáis corriendo a Aliexpress y os hagáis con un Xteink para llevar siempre en el bolsillo 😅

I've got three #ereaders.
All feel like someone dipped a down clocked tablet in honey

I buy one every couple of years because I get high on failure and disappointment

News Summary: Amazon Ends Support for Early Kindle Devices; Two Million Readers Affected

You know when you see someone's obituary and you think, "I could have sworn they died years ago"? Well this week begins with a story I could have sworn I had reported on some years ago (I think I was actually remembering this story about emergency updates to enable devices to stay connected).

os #ereaders ( lectores de libros electrónicos1 ) teñen o mesmo «problema» que a #bicicleta :foxlike: : duran máis do que deberían!!

aínda tendo un kobo, mirei agora, e o kindle ten 13 anos e funciona perfectamente2

Hai por aí un pequeno meme en formato texto que fala do malas que son as bicicletas para a economía, porque non fas gasto nin na bicicleta en si mesma, o gasto e mantemento das infraestructuras é mínimo (en comparación aos automóbiles), os accidentes escasos, o que gañas en saúde e o que aforras en gasto sanitario para o país, etc. Mirando o kindle aquí ao lado e o que publicastes estes días de atrás lembrei o caso da bicicleta.

1. leo que amazon vai deixar de dar servizo aos lectores de libros electrónicos antigos. ↩︎

2. agora é libre, pero funcionaba sen problema ↩︎

Big shout out to my man Jeff. I've been meaning to look into other e-readers for ages. Now, as the owner and regular user of an OG Kindle Paperwhite, I've been given the push I need!

Fediverse, what e-readers are you rocking? I'm in the market for a new one.

Love the size of the Paperwhite, and while I will not shop at the Kindle store again, the ability to read my old (Amazon) ebooks would be nice (but not dealbreaking).

How-To Geek: These 6 simple tricks will turn your Android phone into an eReader. “Unless you’ve got a phone with an e-ink display, you won’t be able to get a one-to-one eReader experience on a phone. That said, with a few tweaks, you can get pretty close. The tricks shared below can be especially handy if you’ve got an old phone or tablet lying around that you’d like to turn into an […]

Ha tardado dos meses pero ya tengo aquí el Xteink X4, con el firmware custom y todo.

¡Mola mucho!

Um artigo interessante para quem estiver a pensar em comprar um novo eReader:

The xteink x4 has finally arrived. This is the cutest device I’ve ever held in my hand. #xteinkx4 #ereaders

Do any of you have an #Onyx #Boox e-reader? I need a little help justifying the expense, but my kindle is dying and I want something that also supports Kobo and other platforms.

Help?
