WOW WOW WOW!
Great job guys. Just spent the last 4 hours playing with it!
Pro's:
- Debian Trixie built in...was having a settings dialog issue...apt update ; apt upgrade ; reboot! All fixed! SO amazing!
- Screen is beautiful compared to my other big boy readers. I am not on current gen of the "best" but it's amazing. Adjusted the backlight color...it looks like a white sheet of paper. Really nice.
- Light weight...easy to hold
- Smooth finished product feeling...not a hacked together solution but something you could pickup at a big box electronic store.
- KOreader built in
- Xournal++ built in...though I havent played with it much
- you'd think after 4 hours I'd have more, just sum it up NICE!
Bits I had to fix: (why so many? who cares...they can be fixed! see the first one)
- KOreader couldnt OPDS internet as deployed...newer debian does not chmod +s /usr/bin/ping, did that and then OPDS worked great...Project Gutenberg...when I'm done reading those 80,000 books, then I'll contemplate Amaz..
- It is Wayland. Hmm well...Im going to investigate xorg. Old school.
- Had to apt update;apt upgrade; reboot because the gnome settings dialog kept closing after opening...fine now.
- Synaptic...is this the graphical application installer? Should probably be easy to launch. Also, it does not resize it's screen.
- I dont like the gnome autohide scrollbars...too hard to find with e-ink speeds. Should be easy to turn on.
- I dont like that windows dont have borders. Sure it's sexy and all...just supper hard to resize with a pen.
- I dont like that some windows dont have maximize or minimize.
- Notice that complaint about wayland...gnome is the one who said screw the window manager...I guess I'll just swim upstream against the current...
- Sometimes (like synaptic) the on screen keyboard cannot type into an entry field
- Im tiring...Im sure I'll find more to whine about later.
Now... does x2go work in wayland...RDP from desktop will help with some stuff.
Overall?
Best damn e-ink reader I've ever had (multiple N's, A's, Ko's...none of them were this good)!
Thank you!
Oh, ordered last Thu, came to Seattle today...one week later.
Ordering online kept rejecting me...and then my fraud called about the same item attempted 3x times from diff company names...
I think they just failed one and tried another.
I'm sure all good.
