Dropbox sync on Vivlio branded PB?

$
0
0
Hello,

I've got a PB632 rebranded "vivlio" (that's the brand in belgium, like it's TEA in France). The only difference I see with my "true" PocketBook 631 is the lack of Dropbox sync (and the lack of other applications like Chess, Sudoku, Scribble, … but I*don't care).

Is there a way to enable Dropbox on a Vivlio?

The idea would be to synchronise the CR3/notes folder so I*could automatically have my annotations in CoolReader visible on my computer.

change fat32 to ntfs

I'd like to change the filesystem of my pockebook from fat32 to ntfs.
Do you think that it's possible (without danger, I mean)?

And how I should do?
1) copy the whole (visible) content of the (mass storage of the) pocketbook from device to pc (linux)
2) transform the filesystem, with a partition manager
3) re-copy the content from pc to device.

But I'm afraid to do something wrong...

What about my project?

Touch HD 3

After 10 years of various Kindles I've replaced my Voyage with a Touch HD 3. Overall I prefer it, my findings...

I chose a non-Kindle as they don't currently make a 6" screen with page turn buttons.

I prefer Amazon's Bookerly to any of the pre-installed PocketBook fonts. So I installed lots of different fonts (including Bookerly) and settled on Google's Literata. This isn't an easy option for Kindles.

I'd always wanted to replace the default Kindle power off image with one of my kids but couldn't. I've easily done that on the PocketBook.

The Voyage body had a more premium look and feel (glass fronted), but I prefer that the HD4 is lighter.

I'd prefer my books to be left aligned (rag right), not fully justified. This setting comes from the individual book on Kindle/PocketBook. Anyone know how to override this setting on the PocketBook? I'd prefer not to have to edit every book. I've tried changing the css files in system but it doesn't seem to have make any difference.

I read a lot of Manga on the Voyage, and had to convert most of it using Kindle Comic Converter which is time consuming. No conversion is required on PocketBook after installing PBimageViewer. :2thumbsup

My main disappointment is the HD3 light. It gives me a headache whenever I use it. I'm very sensitive to PWM type issues, but haven't had any light problems with the Kindle Paperwhite/Voyage/Oasis. Anyone else get headaches with PocketBook lights? Or have any suggestions for a fix (there's advanced settings but I don't know how to use them)? I've tried different frontlight and smartlight settings but none are comfortable for me. There's lots of similar complaints about the Kobo Forma. I tried slow motion videos which highlight that the Forma has PWM issues but the HD3 looks fine with this test.

So overall happy, but I'll keep using a Kindle Oasis for night time reading.

New Pocketbook Inkpad 3 PRO

Pocketbook Inkpad PRO for soon ?




- Over the next month, we can expect a new Inkpad 3 PRO (IPX8) reader
- In reality, this is an improved version of the current Inkpad 3.
  • Water conservation
  • Bluetooth for the audio connection
  • No external memory card anymore
  • Memory (16 or 32 GB)

- Screen? If it has the same contrast as the HD touch, the Inkpad 3 PRO will be a complete bomb! :2thumbsup
*In my current Inkpad 3, the contrast of the file is gray as the black, against the new Pocketbook HD 3. If the version of "New Inkpad 3 PRO" will have similar features to the screen as HD3 this will make Inkpad 3 PRO a very strong competitor in the reader market..

NO BOOK IMAGE ON TURNING OFF INKPAD 3

Hi everybody.

I updated to firmware 05.20.1010 my pocketbook inkpad 3.

Since I made this update, although "show book cover" is correctly selected in the options menu when turned off, the ereader continues to show the "white" page.

Furthermore, when I select the "show number of pages" option, it does not remain selected and is "turned off" each time.

Does anyone has the same problem? is it possible to restore the old firmware?
Thank you in advance! :)

Feature to sort by filename — where is it?

Does anyone have this feature on their Pocketbooks. I'm sure I've had this feature in previous firmware versions, but after the big software update to the Touch Lux 3 in March, it has apparently disappeared. I got this image from pocketbook support, who insist that the feature still exists. On my device the only items in this menu are sort by addition date, opening date, title and author.
I reset the firmware to factory defaults to no avail.

How to know manufacturing date before buying?

Is there a serial number to check so I know the pocketbook is made in 2019 and not 2018 or something like that? We all want newest in hopes that its more reliable and will work better.

Inkpad 3 Battery

Hi - Has anyone replaced the OEM battery in their Inkpad 3 and can you tell me what model you replaced it with? I am going on Vladimir's post that he replaced his and his 3 is back to working properly. I wouldn't mind getting a bit more mAh and don't mind if I have to do some cutting and soldering to get the connector right. Thanks, Chris

One of my friends recently got a Touch Lux 3,and while I have the same model, hers was produced only a year ago and mine in 2016. I've been missing an English to Norwegian dictionary, and she has one on her newer model, but I don't. Is there a way to transfer a dictionary from one device to another?

Hello,

is there any list of best homebrew/official apps for this device. Did not use it for some time, so I would like to put everything that is recommended for it as a final upgrade.

So only document viewing apps, all possible formats, all possible fonts etc...

I do not need web browsing apps, music streaming etc, we all have phones for that these days.

Thank everyone for hints and guides.

Mahjong

Hi all,

I've bought an Inkpad 3 recently and resurrected Mahjong done by Andy128k for it. Had to do a few adaptions to match SDK 5.19 and also integrated a few patches done by jtt (posted on a thread in the german subforum). Since the resolution of my model is much higher I've also integrated high resolution tiles, changed their rendering and increased the font sizes.

The latest stable version can be found on github, let me know if it works for you, it should work for the following models:
  • Inkpad 3
  • Touch HD (Tested by EastEriq)

Touch Lux 3 - Send to Pockbook

Normally i am sending around new e-books to a "E-books" distribution list with the BCC address option.
My own pocketbook Touch Lux 3 reader was also included in this list in order to synchronize automatically.
It appears that this way of sending did not work and i did find out that using the BCC address option was the problem !!!:help:
When i use the To option the sync goes well (as well as CC maybe??

I would be very pleased when sending via BCC, CC and To gives no problem any-more with the synchronization to my e-reader.:thumbsup:

Then i can use my distribution list again.

Thanks

Does the native reader have full page reading, hide page numbers at the bottom an any other info along the margins? I'm looking at the Touch HD 3 as my possible new ereader. Thanks!

Set dem Pocketbook HD3 ist die Bibliotheksfunktion kaputt. Namen werden nicht mehr gefunden, Wenn doch, ist die Reihenfolge vollkommen furcheiinander. Einfach nicht nutzbar. Gibt es inzwischen ein neueres PB, mit dem man bei der Suche nach "May, Karl" oder "Karl May" nicht mit haufenweise nichtzutreffebdeb Autorennamen bombardiert wird) Wenn ja, welches?

Inkpad 3 Pro: how to zoom on images in books?

$

0
I recently bought an Inkpad 3 Pro and I'm happy with it.

Without installing any other reader (i'd like to keep friction to a minimum and I'd like to only have one default reader) is it possible to zoom in images in books?

on my previously owned Oasis a double tap on an image in a ebook would view the image in fullscreen and make it zoomable. Even on my Kobo Forma it was possible....


Is there any way to accomplish this?
If not, how can I send feedback to Pocketbook to ask for this essential feature?



It seems strange, with this amount of personalisation in the software...

Inkpad 3 pro: light switching on during automatic power-off

$

I like set my InkPad 3 pro to automatically switch off after 10 minutes, so that when I go to sleep I only press for a moment the off/on button, it goes to sleep and I can quickly fall asleep.

The problem is that when the device switches off, it awakes from sleeping mode for a moment and the front light goes on.

I tried to find a setting to avoid this but unsuccessfully.

Is there something I can do, maybe a small change in a config file?

Newbie's questions

I have fairly new Lux 4. It works OK (except for the fact that the preistalled Webster's dictionary is dated 1913 (sic!).
There are some things that I cannot figure out by myself:
1. How do I highlight more than one word? I tried to drag my finger along a page (as I did with my Sony) but it does not work.
2. What do I need to do and in what program in order to filter by series? When I use Sigil and check metadata, I can see a series name and a volume number, but it seems that my reader does not see it.
3. How do I sort by title by the first word of a title and not by an article, again in Sigil title sort is correct. What do I do wrong?

Any advice will be appreciated.

InkPad 3 - font changes size while loading ebook

An annoying behavior-

I am reading an epub using a bigger font than default.

When I turn on the device into the book, after sending the device to sleep, it first appear in the smaller (default ?) font and a small hour glass at the bottom corner. After a while it adjusts itself to the bigger font.

Pocketbook Inkpad 3: font problem in certain PDFs

Dear all:

Here's the annoying problem: when I open certain magazines on Inkpad 3, the fonts display the wrong way, with irregular spaces between characters and some symbols not displayed at all (screenshot of a page from New Yorker attached).

All I can add is that I'm using the latest Pocketbook software for this device, and it seems the problem occurred around the time I installed it.

Your opinion will be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
D
