My #XteinkX4 finally arrived! And I already flashed it with Crosspoint Reader and connected it to both my OPDS library (Calibre Web Automated running in Docker on my NAS) as well as my KOsync Server (KO Insight, also hosted on my NAS).

The case I printed last week also works great! So now I can always have an e-reader with me and have one less reason to grab my phone and end up doom scrolling! 👍

PS: I blame @concretedog for this acquisition but am actually thankful for the nerd snipe ^^

So, two issues for now...

The KOsync seems to only one work in one direction for me, need to figure out what's going wrong there. Fetching my progress from the server to the X4 works great, but syncing it up and then moving to my Boox doesn't show me the right point.

The other problem is really bad WiFi. With my phone acting as a Hotspot everything is great, but I have to sit next to my normal AP to allow the X4 to connect without timing out. Weird, can't say other ESPs here have issues.

Hah, issue 1 solved by switching to a Crosspoint Reader fork that implemented the KOsync stuff slightly differently: https://github.com/jpirnay/crosspoint-reader/releases

Doc appointment with horrible time management (nothing new there) but at least I can use the #XteinkX4 to get some nice reading in while waiting for my appointment that was supposed to be 1.5h ago... 🙄
@foosel Oh spannend!
Aber das kann nur mit DRM-freiem Material umgehen, oder?
@thoralf ja, aber darum kümmert sich meine CWA Instanz

@foosel oh?

Edit: Calibre Web Access - gerade mal reingelesen.
Ich suche gerade nach einer schönen Alternative für die Familie. Hier habe ich rechtlich Sorgen ... :(

@thoralf ich hab meine legal erworbenen Kindle Bücher der letzten 16 Jahre Ende letztes Jahr deDRMt und jetzt in CWA eine Automation, die das auch mit legal (!) erworbenen ebooks im epub Format von Plattformen wie ebook.de tut.

Rechtlich sehe ich da kein Problem.
