KOReader on rM Paper Pro Move – installation & configuration

[timj91]

TL;DR: I find KOReader on the Move to be an effective solution for reading and annotating ebooks, but am looking for a few solutions for optimizing the experience.

Is anyone else using KOReader on the rM Paper Pro Move? I installed it using the automated installer at http://readmarkable.org/ (which worked, but I'm not sure what to make of the mandatory device registration...). I've started this post in the interest of seeing if anyone can help me configure and optimize KOReader for the Move, as well as document fixes for others who might want to do the same.

The only bug that I have found so far in KOReader on the Move is that if I close the Move's folio (or switch it off with the power button), the KOReader screen shutoff conflicts with the rM software and it shows the "Sleeping" modal, but does not wake up. I have to triple-press the power button to restart the Move. (Workaround: don't close the folio or turn off the power in KOReader—exit out to the rM UI and all is well.) If anyone knows how to fix this, please comment below. It looks like it can be done, but I have not yet deciphered this post (https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/8891) to understand how to do it.

Current KOReader configuration research:

• How to change the highlight colors to make the "green" color lighter and easier to read.
• How to format the "Export highlights to Markdown" to include metadata in a format that is immediately usable by Obsidian.

If anyone has any ideas, please share!
