I love what’s achievable with Free Software.

I can sync reading progress across my e-reader with #koreader, my phone with #readest and I’ve now hacked together a way of syncing them with #emacs Nov mode. The code needs cleaning up a bit and I’ll put it on Codeberg soon.

@jiewawa Nice. I have an old function in my Emacs config somewhere that transfers notes from koreader on my e-reader via ssh and transforms it into an org file. Maybe I can enhance that similarly.

@srijan @jiewawa Would having at least one person on Mastodon thank you publicly motivate either of you in those endeavors? Because I can guarantee you both at least one public acknowledgement. With an #Emacs tag!

@jameshowell @jiewawa Not a comprehensive write-up about it, but you can view my koreader function here: https://github.com/srijan/emacs-v4/blob/main/config.org#51-koreader-json-to-org and how it's used here: https://github.com/srijan/emacs-v4/blob/main/config.org#4252-literature-notes-from-koreader

@srijan @jiewawa Holy crap! This looks like it can be super useful! This could transform my #PineNote from something that just allows casual passive reading for fun to a device for producing real knowledge in my #Denote database.

Thank you!

@srijan that looks really cool. When I started off learning elisp, I did something similar for importing highlights from koreader sidecar files and relied on the xpointer so that I could also have the same annotations within nov. My implementation needs still needs work though
