Hi @Noto! I just saw this. Koreader works pretty decently on Pocketbook, with only a few minor issues. The sync with Dropbox, though, is not amazing. Pocketbook’s “sync” module is actually not a real sync module, as it does not understand incremental updates. So, what happens is that each time you open a book, Koreader overwrites the sidefiles in the homonymous sdr directory, but when pocketbook tries to sync, it does not know which version is the best version (remote or local), so it renamed the local file and resyncs the storage with the remote. Put differently, it always considers the remote as the master in case if conflicts. Worse, pocketbook does this every time it syncs, even if there is no new modifications. At the end of the day you end up with hundreds of copies of the files in your sdr directory. If you try to embed the annotation inside the PDFs with Koreader, then you will end up with hundreds of copies of your PDF file.

So, not ideal. And just because of a terrible, amateur implementation. That doesn’t surprise me though. There are many small issues like that with the pocketbook reader.
