I have determined that I am looking for at least a mobile file extension reading format (EPUB/MOBI) in my consideration since I have to arrange text size.
So the following is a consideration of either EPUB or MOBI format:
- Kindle works. For personal documents to sync with PC you have to do the following:
- Click the sync on the phone/kindle. Close the PC app. Delete the matching .mbpV2 file in the kindle library. Now you open and sync and it loads the Kindle notes. You have to restart and delete each time. It's better to construct a script or some type of way to get rid of the file each time kindle app closes.
- KOBO seems to have a PC app but doesn't allow syncing side loaded e-books.
- It is possible with EPUB using Google Play books. It is perfect for the above job. This guy was able to successfuly use it. However, I don't know about the performance and how to use that particular ink reader (seems to be different language) and the shipping will cost so that path is aborted.
- BookFusion works but the PC web view is quite ugly and the phone app I really do not like and the sync is distracting.
Moonreader, FBReader, Cool Reader, KOReader, Calibre:
The first four don't have a PC app (with sync) and the last doesn't do highlighting and notes syncing. (EPUB/MOBI)
Pending work:
Test side loading Google Play app or even the Kindle app for more highlight potential on e-ink devices.
Other comments: (only to curious individuals)
- Just use a tablet.
- The cheapest/most pleasant to use.
- Either Kindle/Google Books can be used as they have syncs and exports and decent PC viewing.
- While I would like to test the PDF reformatting I don't know how it works with highliting and it's quite quirky it feels like and file dependent and possibly a big hassle and a distraction.
