Heya, stumbled upon your blog post from

https://moddedbear.com/im-reading-again/

And I had a couple of thoughts, being a KOReader user on the Kobo Clara HD for some time now...

@joel @helgztech

It turns out you can modify the way Calibre sends files to your ereader. In my case, I just send the file directly to my chosen library folder that I set as HOME in KOReader, with title-author as the naming convention.

@thin_line @helgztech I like this! I already knew but I haven't bothered with it yet lol

@joel Thanks for sharing this! Never seen before, but I like the look/sound of it. I have an old Kindle lying around I might try it out on -- the hardware's fine but it's a frustrating process currently trying to get my own EPUBs into it.

@joel = “since Calibre will organize books in folders by author”

I didn't like that part when I could see it in the folder structure. (It was all behind the scenes on my Kindle Voyage.) So I convert books in , but manually copy them over to my , with one folder for novels and another for shorts.

“I have read a lot more than in previous months thanks to this acquisition, which makes me quite happy.”

I also find I read more when I can see the calendar stats and weekly stats.

@bok the calendar and weekly and all time stats are so fun. I love them

@joel @helgztech If it helps your use case: you can tell calibre to organize books on your device in any way you wish. So you could have it fill your kobo without author folders at all. Or into folders by series, whatever you want.

@joel @helgztech i need to find an app for stats for my ...

@hyde remarkable can run koreader I thikn

@joel just checked a video of one guy who installed it ... When you switch between koreader and remarkable you lose the page where you were at ... A bit annoying. What are the other advantages of ?

The fonts looks huge too... At least in that video I saw

joel,

@hyde font size and all that can be changed no problem. The book state is different because its just a different app.

Like, you can't expect the kindle app to mantain the reading state of the librera, or moon+ reader or whatever else I think

hyde,
@hyde@lazybear.social avatar

@joel yeah but Koreader should know that, no ?

joel,
@joel@fosstodon.org avatar

@hyde nope, what books you've read and their position are in their own db or smth

hyde,
@hyde@lazybear.social avatar

@joel I don't know how it works but every time I open a book on the Remarkable it remembers the page ... And open where I left it the last time

joel,
@joel@fosstodon.org avatar

@hyde oooh yes, but in koreader it does it, it opens it where I left it off last time I read it on koreader...

joel,
@joel@fosstodon.org avatar

@hyde ooh, you mean that the reading progress is lost if you ever close koreader right? that's a weird bug, it doesn't happen to me, maybe if the video you saw its old the problem is fixed
