Hey team:
Jailbroken Paperwhite 4 user here. I'm really enjoying koreader. i think i might just stay in it and rarely go back to the regular kindle interface: But I do have these questions for you folks:
1) When I attempt to export all notes from all books in EVERNOTE I see that it seems to create a new note for each book. What happens if I do an export AGAIN, will it duplicate notes? What happens if I create new notes for a book I've already exported, will it replace it?
2) I was reading on the install page that I could really mess things up if I connected the kindle to a computer with KOreader running. What's the worst that could happen? Could I brick my device?
3) If Koreader becomes unresponsive, is it safe to restart the kindle (hold down power button) or should I do something else in this case?
4) Do any of you folks run a wallabag server? Seems like a lot of work but I'm kinda cheap and don't want another subscription. Do you like the service?
5) Let's talk the news/rss downloader> Have you set it up? Is there a way to automatically clear out old(er) articles past x number of days? I don't want to gunk up my storage space with old articles.
6) I keep my calibre library on dropbox. What's the easiest/best way to get books from my calibre library => kindle?
7) I find browsing to get the book I want difficult. Probably because I've put my document root/home directory in the normal kindle documents folder (and there are hundreds of books there alreadY). what do you folks do to make finding the book you want easier? Do you create a new directory just for koreader books? And if so, where do you put it? inside of /documents/ or somewhere else?
8) Anyway to synchronize progress of the book from KOReader to moon+ reader?
9) It seems like it takes a long time when picking the book in the file browser, maybe because I've changed the default font to bookerly? Is there anyway to have it index my books so that selecting a differnt book is easier?
10) Collections... how can i set up a 'next up' collection in koreader which would show the books i plan on reading next.
11) backing up / saving settings. From what I gather, when I upgrade the kindle firmware, I lose all KOreader and have to reinstall it. How can i retain all settings/customizations i've done so that i can restore it after a firmware upgrade?
12) how often do OTA updates become available? any problem with running the OTA update?
13) is it safe to charge when koreader is running (not into computer, but into wall charger)
thanks for all your help in advance!
what great software... hard to back to the 'vanilla' kindle reading experience now :)
