Ivan Herman<p>If you make EPUB documents, or build tools for EPUBs, do you think EPUBs should continue requiring the XML syntax for HTML?

Fabio Manganiello<p>Less than a week into my new <a class="hashtag" href="https://manganiello.social/tag/boox" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BOOX</a> Note Air4, and I already don’t know how my life was before it.</p><p>This device is amazing. After years spent using old B&amp;W notebooks and synchronizing them to SD cards, I have a notebook that runs a modern version of Android, and with a Notes app that actually supports WebDAV synchronization - which means that my notes will be available as PDF files on my Nextcloud instance as soon as I close them.</p><p>Since it runs Android pretty much without restrictions, I’ve also proceeded with installing F-Droid on it and Fennec, Element, my RSS app, Nextcloud Notes and ntfy.</p><p>Oh, and since it’s basically an Android tablet with a color e-ink screen and 6GB of RAM you could also watch videos on it (but again just because you can it doesn’t mean that you should).</p><p>And its AI features are also nice an unintrusive. Wrap some handwritten stuff in a square/rectangle, and it can easily be converted into text. Do a messy scribble on something, and anything underneath will be erased (although I still think that the double-sided pen/eraser gadget shipped with the Mobiscribe was more intuitive).</p><p>And this device really shines with the <a class="hashtag" href="https://manganiello.social/tag/koreader" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KOReader</a> app. It turns it into a powerful e-book reader, and with <a class="hashtag" href="https://manganiello.social/tag/wallabag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wallabag</a>, RSS feeds and OPDS support (synchronized with my personal library running on <a class="hashtag" href="https://manganiello.social/tag/ubooquity" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ubooquity</a>) you can’t ask for more.</p><p>Oh, and shall we talk about the ability to run SSH sessions on an e-ink tablet?</p>

Christian Tietze<p>Got a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Supernote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Supernote</span></a> in the mail.</p><p>It has a very nice writing feel and is super light weight (compared to a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Boox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Boox</span></a> device).</p><p>I have some trouble figuring out getting anything on it, though. :) Sideloaded FDroid; now I need to install KOReader and Calibre Sync, I guess, maybe also Syncthing and/or Nextcloud to get notes etc. out of the device again.</p><p>The default option of having to install the Kindle app to be able to read books surprised me.
