Hi wold, did install without any hick-ups on my debian buster installation. I did some testing and it looks like the functionality is the same like in the Ubuntu or Windows version. Also here, manual mounting necessary, but after that reload and everything works .
Windows and Linux use the same functions, except for (mostly) USB related functions and the monitor.

A somewhat iffy area, when thinking about it, are regressions due to older library versions.
For glibc this checked out OK (3 irrelevant changes); libzip seems OK too, but glibcxx reverts to older versions for quite a number of functions. It makes me curious mainly (improvements/bugfixes/etc?), but chasing all those release infos... Using build tests is the better way, but only key points are tested now. I'll reflect some more on this.

Mounting BTW is left to the OS/user. It could be done, but I'd rather stay away from that now.

On what Ubuntu version? 22.x tested OK here, save for a sandboxing warning.
Just to be sure: a right click > open with > installer may be necessary; otherwise use
Code:
sudo apt-get install -f ./pathto.deb
In any case, there will be a 'standard' release, and the backward compatible one. I'm OK with supporting one older version, but don't want to burden up-to-date users with any limitations or potential bugs.

I still have this issue with the page numbers and I started to create myself a test book to find out how much page numbers and dates are off assuming the annotations on the device are managed correctly.
The page numbers are a todo: they require a single increment for both PDF and epub that will get into 0.9.9. But you're welcome to do further testing. As for 'universal' page numbers (i.e. Kobo, etc), that's another topic all-together

The dates are spot on compared to my reader's overview. Haven't considered timezone corrections yet for display (raw data are unix epoch). Would you need that?

For me so far the best solution to manage my annotations. Great!
Nice to hear

I'll try to roll out 0.9.9 by next weekend, at worst the one after that.
