CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Oh, and I also got Koreader to connect up to my Nextcloud account, so can access my books that way. I will not be stuck for reading material!

It worked! Actually, it worked yesterday, but I never got round to posting about it. The Pocketbook software does have more features, though weirdly on this model it doesn't have as much as the app I have on my phone. Anyway, now I can sync things with my phone, or use Dropbox to transfer stuff, including library books. I've also installed Koreader, and I've set up the progress sync feature so in theory I can jump between devices. I think I'm going to like this.

And now I'm installing the Pocketbook software onto the device, because I think it might have more features than the Vivlio software. I also have no idea how I got a library book to open on it yesterday, as it doesn't appear to work today.

I really must go to bed, but not before I share the best thing I have done so far to my new ereader.

@Cassandra An added bonus for sure!

I've already managed to open a book from my local library's ebook system on it, without having to hook it up to my laptop, which might be useful when travelling (though it does involve using my phone, and isn't a simple one step process.)

For anyone who might be curious, Vivlio is the French brand name for the Pocketbook (a Swiss company I think) range of ereaders. These aren't as well known as Kindle or Kobo, but they have some interesting features that I'm curious to play with.

My totally unnecessary secondhand ereader has arrived! It looks pretty decent. I won't get a chance to play with it properly until later.
