Cool Hello Elipsa My Old Friend - Document Templates

Hi Community,

In an attempt to not lose money selling my Elipsa I decided to "cheat" it and create a template to let me proper take notes and have sync capabilities in place.

How? Elipsa, and probably Sage, syncs back PDF documents to Dropbox when we take notes on them. So I created a "notebook" PDF and take notes on it.

Do you need Dropbox? Nope. All notes are saved to the PDF itself so you can either copy back the file from your device to you PC or you can use Calibre to transfer the file from the device.

Here is the link where you can find the DOCX and a PDF from it: https://github.com/cristianopimentel...-my-old-friend

I will add more templates as I need them.

What are the cons so far? Well... your device handles the file as a book and and not as a note. And the file doesn't have a Table of Contents that let you go back to the INDEX, but you can go back to the cover and it will be 1 swipe away.

I hope Kobo wakes up and realize we are in 2022 and sync is a "must have" feature for note taking!

Hope you like it!

WARNING: before plug in your device to your computer or turn it off, always exit back to home. This will make sure your notes are stored in the PDF.
