Following up for anyone trying to use syncthing.

Syncthing can be made to work, as described in the previous comment's link, however there are a number of issues to be aware of.

First, Syncthing starts up with a white screen and dialog box. You can click the dialog box, and switch apps; Syncthing continues to run in the background until the next reboot.

Second, Syncthing does not properly wake or activate wifi, so after starting the app it is necessary to stop and restart wifi. I suspect wifi goes into some kind of power saving state and the Syncthing binary would need to be modified to properly "wake" PocketBook's wifi implementation.

Third, newly synced books do not show up in the PocketBook library until after a device reboot. Perhaps there's a way to trigger a library update without a reboot, but I am unaware of it.
