The Kobo seems faster and has a bigger community and hacks available as I want to synchronize with my nextcloud and my wallabag instance. The privacy privacy issues also have remedies.
One aspect I could not find information on is the capability to "skim read" a book.
For instance I would like to be able to read the first and last paragraph of each chapter before commiting to reading it. Kobo seems to have a skip features and there are page turn video that look good enough.
Has anyone done the same with a pocketbook ? Is the KoReader better on this aspect ?
Thanks for your help ! |
Like many other things done with eBooks, there is a better way to skim the way you wish. Just use the TOC, pick a chapter, back up a page, read through the first page and repeat.
