[opensuse] best ebook reader and sync opinons?
I use Calibre on my desktop and 2 laptops. In order to keep them synchronized, I use a manual ssh script that I wrote. For my phone (almost a tablet), I use the kindle reader app, so I don't share the books between the pc and the phone. The phone is for the kindle books, and the pc is for the calibre books. I am wondering what experiences anyone out there might have with using calibre on the pc and keeping the books, bookmarks, pages, and settings synchronized with a book reader on android? I have used both Aldiko and Moonreader in the past on an earlier phone, but I had to manually import all the books, and couldn't keep anything synchronized. -- George Box: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.1 | Plasma 5.4.7, Qt 5.7.0 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I keep my Calibre library in my cloud storage (owncloud on my own server, dropbox would work just as well).

on my phone and my tablet I use moon reader + but only for the rare cases that I don't have my Kobo Aura H²O with me, which I can sync fine with calibre on linux or windows.

Same here: didn't find a way to keep my library synced with my phone or tablet. Besides, for reading I like an epaper display better than OLED.

I can do that, but not on Linux. My ebook reader comes with Windows software that does sync readers. The problem for Calibre is, I guess, that each reader keeps track of reading in a different manner. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

I use mostly my cybook odyssey, and when I don't have it I can use aldiko on phone/tablet, but I don't syn because it's so fast to go to the actual page (and usually I changed book between read) jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
