Searching for eBook reader solution
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/39848038
I bought myself a fancy new TLC 11 Nxtpaper Gen 2 with a cool e-ink type display. It’s an android tablet and I’m breaking free from Apple.
That means no more Apple Books for my epubs. That also means, I’m now looking for a good solution to annotating epubs/pdfs (mostly highlights) on Android.
I’d loveeee it it had some bring your own storage sync (webdav) or just plays well with the local storage for using syncthing etc.
What are the best options?
If anyone was wondering: tcl.com/us/en/products/mobile/…
11 inch display with 60 hz refresh, but it sounds like regular lcd rather than e-ink? It has an 8000mah battery that it says can run the tablet through a full day, so that's nothing like an epaper tablet. It sounds more like a drawing tablet, as it has a pressure sensitive pen.
Anyway, I've been using Librera FD for reading epubs on Android. Its blurb mentions annotations but I've never tried that feature.
I have an Inkplate 10 e-paper tablet but haven't been using it.
I see, yeah there is something about it in the blurb. How do you like the tablet? Is it responsive? Is it full of Android bloatware? Do you know if it is rootable?
I see there is a 14 inch version that's about $300 and that starts to get interesting. It's not "2nd gen" though. And, I had thought of TCL as a lower tier manufacturer with quality issues, but I hadn't looked into it much.
I like that the tablet has an SD (probably microSD) slot. Don't like that there's no headphone jack. There's plenty of space in those things compared to a phone.
Thanks, it is kind of intriguing though I keep telling myself to just use normal Linux stuff instead of Android. I'd want the 14 inch one which is around $300. Is there any trouble installing F-droid and apps from there?
Alternatives I'm thinking of include Lenovo Yoga laptop (16 inch) and a Raspberry Pi thing with an HDMI monitor (that would be plug-in only but I mostly read at home).

i do not know where you get that impression. antisemitism, conspiracy theories and general racism are soooo common if you just browse one of the public feeds on primal, ditto etc. not to mention like 1 in 5 posts are just bitcoin posting.
we do have instances of fascist chuds on ActivityPub, but they're at least a little less easy to run into if you go to our equivalent of a public firehose like mastodon.social.

The Council of Europe should adopt a convention on transnational repression, rights groups say
cross-posted from: mander.xyz/post/43319573
Web archive link
Over 1,000 documented TNR [Transnational Repression] cases have occurred since 2014, affecting individuals across 100 countries and involving at least 44 perpetrator states. Europe has emerged as a critical venue for TNR, with a growing number of targeted journalists, human rights defenders, political opponents, and whistleblowers seeking safety and protection on European soil.Despite the scope of the problem, there is currently no binding European or international legal instrument specifically addressing TNR. Existing human rights instruments, including the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), while applicable in principle, do not offer comprehensive safeguards tailored to the realities of TNR.

False claims Afrikaners are persecuted threaten South Africa’s sovereignty, says president
White supremacist ideology and false claims that South Africa’s Afrikaner minority is being racially persecuted pose a threat to the country’s sovereignty and national security, the country’s president, Cyril Ramaphosa, has warned.Since taking office for his second US presidential term in January, Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed without evidence that South Africa’s government is seizing land and encouraging violence against white farmers.

Seizing land from white farmers in a continent where said white people are not indigenous is such a white thing to say.
