I’ve been using the Kindle ebook reader for over a decade now, and I’ve accumulated quite a big digital library from Amazon. However, now I’d like to move away to another ebook reader, preferably Kobo, but I don’t want to leave my Kindle ebooks behind. I’d like to bring them with me.
Does anyone have any advices or tools that they can recommend that will allow me to move my Kindle ebooks over to Kobo or some other ebook reader (e.g. Nook)?
P.S. Sorry if this post has nothing to do with this community. Out of all the communities I follow, this one seemed to be the most appropriate for such a question.
I bought a Mobiscribe recently, for the same reasons. It’s an eReader with an eink display, but it’s an Android tablet. I installed F-Droid, and then NextCloud (to access my ebooks) and Librera Reader. I also use it for listening to podcasts (via Bluetooth, since it’s an Android tablet) and taking notes with the stylus.
This little thing looks very interesting. What is the battery life like? Is the handwriting-to-text stuff only viable in specific apps, or can it be used in place of keyboard input?
I would probably use it just like my Kindle, keeping it in airplane mode until I actually need to download something (or in this case, upload notes).
Battery life is good, I use it with the wifi off and only had to charge it once, and I read a full book on it.
I haven’t played with the handwriting recognition yet, let me take a look and I’ll report back.
Awesome, thanks!
Ok, I played with it and it seems like the recognition only works in the “Notes” app. It doesn’t work as a general text input for applications.
It works pretty well, though. You select the text with the pen by circling it, and then you can copy it to the clipboard or replace the drawing with the actual text.
Interesting. Thanks for the extra effort to help out an internet stranger!
I’ll dig some more into these little buggers!
