@joel@fosstodon.orgHere is my #review for the #Kobo Clara 2E, a fantastic little #ereader that got even better after I installed #koreader on it!
This is day 36 of #100DaysToOffload, and day 4 of #WeBlogPomo2024
@joel @helgztech how hard was it to install KOReader?
@davad a breeze, following the guide here with a super simple install script
@joel @helgztech I feel the same about my boox poke e-ink
@joel @helgztech i need to find an app for stats for my #remarkable2 ...
@hyde remarkable can run koreader I thikn
@joel indeed !
@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
@joel yeah but Koreader should know that, no ?
@hyde nope, what books you've read and their position are in their own db or smth
@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
@hyde oooh yes, but in koreader it does it, it opens it where I left it off last time I read it on koreader...
@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
@joel yeah like every time you open the app ... The page is lost 
@joel 3 years old video ... Maybe it's fixed now
@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 = “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 #Calibre, but manually copy them over to my #Kobo #Sage, 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 It is a fantastic device.
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...
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.
you can find those settings under the Sending books to device in Calibre
@thin_line @helgztech I like this! I already knew but I haven't bothered with it yet lol
Ah, a life saver imo.
I also find the KOReader starting page options a bit lacking, with the sort by last read being a bit inconsistent in my opinion. (my go to was start in the File Manager with last read sorting)
And as a last note, here are some nice fonts for reading in KOReader
