For a while I was without PineNote tools on the tool bar (refresh, screen mode, ...). Also due to hacking, it wouldnt survive a reboot without SSH fixing...all me on that one.
Anyway with the latest update...Im finding it very useable.
- Liferea for RSS feeds. Read the news, 3 pane window landscape...very functional. Cant remember how I imported them but have 100s of feeds. Update all takes about 5 minutes and then there is more articles than I can consume.
- KOreader with OPDS / Project Gutenberg gets me tons of reading material.
- Xournal++ for notes and drawings
Set the screen mode to BW:1 (or dither) and turn off automatic screen updates. No flashing, smooth scrolling, clear as day.
Still wish:
- X11 was available for more panel options.
- faster writing response in Xournal++
- Some form of Libby / overdrive for checking out books from libraries.
Just wanted to say that it is beoming a daily need now.
Fingers crossed for a PineNote 2 with more cores, more mem, expandable storage.
