E-Books

  • not the closed Kindle
  • not Onyx Books: no metadata search in the native reader app
  • Kobo

Size:

  • 6” Boox Palma - good enough for occasional reading and scribbles
  • 7” good enough for reading
  • 8” good for reading
  • 10” good for reading and enough for occasional work with PDF papers - in landscape mode
  • 13” excellent for PDFs, but too big and clunky for E-Books; (BOOX Max Lumi2)

Sync with Zotero for PDFs:

  • syncthing on Android devices
  • syncthing for Kobo!

Metadata sarches.

Directory browsing.

Both alternative mechanisms of delivery - ODPS and SyncThing - do not work for E-Books.

Reading statistics for multiple readers are supported only by web apps, which are unusable.
