Eink readers that support moon+ and Google drive

MISTER READER · 12-16-2017, 10:51 AM

So I can sync with my phone's moon+ reader. Any out there? Thanks!

I don't have an answer for your actual question but I do have a solution to your issue. I read on my phone and mainly on my Kindle. On the phone I use Moon+ a lot and I easily sync it with my Kindle. I have 2 ways of doing this. Both are easy. Both are reliable.

First, and most commonly, when I end a reading session in one I'll remember a short phrase from the page I'm on. The phrase I remember from my last reading session is "list of jewish patients". When I switch to the other device I do a text search for that and it rarely comes up with more than 1, 2 or 3 answers. There's always enough context to go to the right one. The key to this is just remembering that phrase. It didn't take long to teach myself to do it.

The second method, which I use when going from the Kindle to the phone on those rare occasions when I don't remember the phrase is to load the Kindle app, sync it and then proceed with the first method. If I'm going from the phone to the Kindle I always have the phone handy so that isn't needed.

I also sometimes read on my phone with the Kindle app. Not for any real reason. I just like switching sometimes. Syncing it takes typically twice or three times as long as doing a text search on a remembered phrase and it fails more often. Remembering that phrase is the single best way to sync between devices.

Eink readers don't have apps. You need a tablet for that.

I have one, Energy Pro, rooted, with Google Play, Calibre Companion and gitden (the app I like for reading). You have to look for an ereader with Android., I think Onyx brings Google Play, but I'm not so sure .

There are eReaders that run Android and can have apps. (Onyx) There are also some eReaders that run Linux but still have added apps. (Pocketbook)

Yeah, I do the manual method but really don't like it, especially when I am reading multiple books at once. Looking for an Android E-Ink reader that supports Google Play Store.

Do you know what version of Android it runs? Assuming it was easy to root?

Just to answer my own question in case anyone else reads this in the future. I got an Onyx Boox T76 reader and it works with Google Drive and Moon Reader. I'm satisfied.

Thanks for letting us know. Does this model have the adjustable "night light?"

It has a backlight. Cold/warm light options and adjustable brightness.
