Got a Kobo! It's neat, however I'm a bit overwhelmed with options, old information and countless posts with clues and references to features but less answers and or links.
I do Linux at home (Void! Yeay) which was part of my decision to go for the Kobo Libra H2O, it's Linux. The user baskerville is well know within the world of tiling window managers and I really like his work. Was pleasantly surprised when I came across *Plato* and realized he's also responsible for that project.
I've skimmed through the sticky posts in this forum and felt like I still needed to make a post in order to gather a bit more insight before going forth with any mods to the software of this ereader. The stickied threads are all from early 2010-'13 which then makes me question the posts validity, at least the OP - somethings must have changed and options opened up since then?
I got Calibre going on the laptop, starting to get a hang on how it operates and how it structures a library. I'd much rather not plug the device in with USB to add and remove books - I've seen mentions of wireless syncing but few references to the procedure and how to go about it.
Here's a list of *features* and *questions* - if anything is familiar and you know something I might find interesting I'd highly appreciate a lead or link.
* WiFi sync of content (books and pdfs). SSH, Syncthing or similar would be optimal
* I will not be purchasing books from the Kobo store - any bandcamp-esque stores for eBooks? (drm free, local copy)
* Mail client would be cool, haven't seen anything on the matter tho.
* RSS feeds - will possibly use Pocket for such integration. Other ideas?
* Plato, KOReader, other? Pros and cons - blogs on the topic? Found YouTube to have surprisingly little coverage on different reader apps (or what you call them).
Any up-to-date information on any of the topics would be appreciated. I'll keep digging myself and will edit in anything I find interesting.
