I've had the A6 for over a week. Libby is the only Reader app I've installed that doesn't enable using the physical volume buttons to turn pages. It didn't seem possible to rectify without root nor access to paid Play apps. I finally found
MacroDroid which I set up to simulate a swipe gesture (the free version is limited to five macros but I only need two for Volume Up and Volume Down) so that's sorted.
This is my basic setup so far:
- FDroid, Yalp Store, Amazon Store for Android: installing apps
- Kiwi Browser: apkmirror, general browsing
- GBoard: keyboard
- Libby: public library
- Kindle, Kobo: ebook stores
- Bookari, PocketBook: ePub reader
- Moon+ Reader: PDF reader
- Aard 2: dictionary
- MacroDroid: volume key paging in Libby
- VolKey: volume key scrolling/paging in Kiwi Browser
I've dabbled with Comixology, VizReader etc but I don't think this is the right device/display (aspect ratio) for comic books. I also dipped into Netflix, Crunchyroll, Newpipe (for Youtube) etc and while there's a charming novelty in watching anime on the eink screen I don't this is the best device for that either. The OLED display is great for video but I want to focus on books instead.
My next objectives will be setting up Calibre Companion/Dropbox then organizing my catalog (I got the 64GB version and still have a lot of space) and figuring out paid apps through Yalp Store
