remoteink VS plato

A while ago, I made a similar tool for Pocketbook eInk readers specifically: https://github.com/borzunov/remoteink

Years ago, I've made a program turning Pocketbook e-ink readers into computer monitors with some extra features: https://github.com/borzunov/remoteink

The update speed is quite good (comfortable for writing texts and browsing most websites) even when connecting via Wi-Fi.

Reminded me of the tool turning Pocketbook E-Ink readers into computer monitors, which I made several years ago:

https://github.com/borzunov/remoteink

This could be used for the dashboards as well (no screen updates happen if the content doesn't change), if connected to a remote server or a Raspberry Pi.

Also, it allows to zoom in/out, switch between the opened windows, and move around the screen with keyboard shortcuts. No jailbreak is needed for the reader.

Kobos[1] and Pocketbooks[2] are a lot more open than Kindles. AFAIK you can transfer .epub files into both devices and these epubs are perfectly readable via the stock OS. If for some reason you find the stock proprietary OS lacking, you can install an open source one like KOreader [3] or Plato[4]

Of course you want a good way of organizing epubs pdfs mobi, and like has already been mentioned Calibre[5] is a great option.

KOReader is nice. There's also Plato[0] for Kobo, which unlike the Kobo Libra 2 stock reader and KOReader didn't choke on an .epub with the entire Bible in one xhtml file.

Good luck! If you don't like it, there are a few other, similar projects, like Plato. That one is focused on speed and simplicity, so it might actually be better suited to your purposes. It was left unmentioned earlier because it's been incredibly buggy for me, but it's there.

plato

I noticed some similarities in the source code to https://github.com/baskerville/plato/

Is there some common source for Kobo-compatable rust code that you both drew from, or was plato the original source?

On the issues page of its github site. Create a new issue with [Feature request] tag in title.

I don’t really know much about Koreader’s reader (I use it mostly as a file manager/sftp server/OPDS client), but I heartily recommend Plato to read manga! It shows the pages full screen with no margins on the top or the bottom. I haven’t tried with kepubs though, I just read my cbz directly, without passing them though kcc.
