@concretedog current #crosspoint firmware supports OTA via #calibre. I successfully transferred a converted epub.
This has (re)opened a can of worms for me over digital book management. Having owned over the years a kindle and now a kobo. Calibre does a good job making ACSM books I’ve purchased available to me on my computer. It’ll be fun optimising them for the #xteinkx4
Have you used this: https://github.com/chazeon/xtctool for prettifying epubs for the Xteink?

(Having the ability to write text directly on the canvas is great, I've been waiting for this a long time, I found it quite annoying with my auto-tiling setup that a separate text window popped next to the main window, and I couldn't see the full canvas.)

(I recently downloaded Calibre to read an ebook for a university assignment, I really like its customizability, that I can set text width, number of columns, panels to show, etc. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's bundled with a full-blown ebook manager and ebook editor, while all I need is just a simple ebook reader, idk why it has to pull all that extra stuff if I download the reader (at least on Debian))

Super useful!
I had not looked much into #Calibre since seeing the whole AI thing, in fact I've been actively ignoring and definitely not updating it. Maybe I'll look more into now.
Though some of the alternatives are nice too.
