As far as the launcher goes though, is this an accurate depiction? https://i.imgur.com/PzeZhyz.png (and that would show books if the library is filled)
If so, it's very much what I would like to avoid entirely. I want a nice desktop looking thing with three icons, (Amaze, FBReader, F-Droid). I'm not married to Nova, and was actually planning to look into a few of the open launchers on f-droid on an old phone I had handy. |
Yes, but you can change the home page to just look at the app screen if you want and ignore the library. You could also set the default epub program to be FBreader if you wanted and use the library. Most launchers are designed with LCDs in mind, so loads of color, scrolling and animations which don't look great on eInk. You can also stick app shortcuts in the navigation ball so you can literally open those 3 apps anywhere. IMO its a well designed launcher for an eReader with an eInk screen.
