Software Functionality of Note 3/Max Lumi

ensta · 02-24-2021, 06:28 AM

Hi,

Am looking at the Note 3/Lumi.
Tasks are:
1. Reading Kindle books and epubs.
Taking notes and highlights.
Syncing these with Desktop
2. Reading and annotating PDFs on Dropbox and syncing direct (no saving or exporting).
Currently I'm using a Samsung tablet to achieve this with different apps. However, it's only upto Android 5 and is slow as.
Am using the following apps:
Kindle (android)
- works well
Bookfusion app (and Calibre plug)
- works OK for PDFs and not for epubs (this might be an OS version issue)
Kobo PDF annotation
- works v well

Want to move to e-ink, so I would like to know more about how the Boox devices can/will handle these tasks. Will it run these apps above with low enough latency?
OR is there a native solution for these? If so, how does the native work, and will it deliver the same functionality as the apps listed?

Many thanks in advance

I don’t have a solution for you yet, but before your post I had never heard of Bookfusion before.

I’ve been looking for a solution to this problem for quite some time!
I currently have a calibre library on Dropbox that is shared across multiple Dropbox accounts. But I’m having trouble setting up calibre companion on my Boox Max Lumi - I can sign into Dropbox, but there’s some display or JavaScript error that prevents me from selecting my library in the app! (It doesn’t show any Dropbox folders to navigate for the library).

I’ll check out Bookfusion this week and let you know how it works on my Max Lumi...
