There’s a French speaking /r/ over there that bans an @jlai.lu user and remove their post when they link to Lemmy.

Hm. I use it for anything, looping stuff, streams, entire album play, playlists, even audio books before I found maBooks

My only current bug is that I used to have my music on an SD card, which failed & I removed, but VLC still thinks it’s right there and fills my library with it

VLC is the goat here, no?

As available in France, tho only for €60 less.
And you pay €30 for fedora (?)

Indeed but it’s rarely available to the general public. They don’t mind selling 2000 units to a business with dedicated IT support. They (used to) totally draw the line at providing individual support to individual customers.

In my experience (France), buy it while you can because it pops from time to time & disappears without warning.

Woah! Never seen this in France, ever. You can even get it os-free!

The difference in pricing is concerning tho.

Where?

I’m on Deezer with a family plan that my family is happy about ; I use Murglar 2 to download the music I am paying for.

Seems I gotta try KOReader then, thanks!

Mine is a 2E, the only less-sluggish thing I found I could do was to limit the number of books on it, which seems ridiculous because I have zero PDFs, only epubs & barely using 2.3GB out of 16, and what does it have to do with page turns anyway ?

Ah, it’ll remind me of the times I “hacked” my kindle just to display the cover of The Hitchhiker Guide To The Galaxy :)

It’s my only ereader after owning a paperwhite for years. Yeah, it’s inferior. It sometimes doesn’t register a several good, honest tap or swipes to turn pages ; it’s having hard time making a difference between a swipe to change illumination and one to highlight text ; and sometimes you see some shadow text from other pages on your current page

But kobo do sell some books without DRM, you can sideload without even using calibre, and, most importantly, it’s not an amazon product

Just by itself ; I checked KOReader on my phone & wasn’t convinced enough to install it on my reader which, beside being that, just works with Calibre from several linux machines (and I don’t mind reading PDFs on my phone, it’s always user manuals and I need fluid zoom + screenshots for diagrams and stuff like that).

I have kept à disconnected kindle for a few years after I completely stopped using amazon for anything - today I wouldn’t even be seen with one as carrying one is a bit like advertising for the company

These are the best ereaders period, my kobo Clara 2e is sluggish, night mode is shit, USB connection to Calibre is “when I want, if I want”… But I’m not a billboard for that business. Too bad, really good devices, and hurray for all the people who will enjoy them away from amazon

I discovered this open-source 1024x768 6" e-paper screen while checking OP’s crowdfunding page

EDIT: they make it in 9.7" too

Hardware settings seems a bit limited. Maybe the point is to make it very cheap? Charging via older standard microUSB port makes it a no-go for the whole of European market through conventional channels tho.

But really the 7.5" 800x480 screen def worries me. A Kobo Clara is 1072x1448 over 6" diagonal, for $120.

(Now 5000mAh battery is crazy good for an e-ink device, that’s great)

OP when the actual Crowd Funding campaign starts, please repost. I am curious nevertheless, it’s a cool idea but I also want to be able to read my books on it.

Same. Been using it for ages : nice background pic & just a calendar widget, the six shortcuts at the bottom - it’s so fast, simple, unobtrusive.

Nobody cares about you and your cheap AI-generated tentacle porn. The point here is at entreprise-level. Businesses will be legally locked down with expensive US vendors, it’s all that matters.

Infuriating thing above all that cretin protectionism is that pro use of AI stuff will consume a planet-destroying 10 30 times as much energy than needed.

Since murglar allows you to download and keep the music you are paying for, I’m pretty sure that’s completely illegal and could get you banned from the service

Which you’d then stop paying for

And turn to regular old piracy to get your music

…maybe someone at deezer, a service that isn’t even profitable, think that one a bit further, because I’m on murglar since forever (tho I don’t use it all the time, only when I need it)

No comment on that particular service, but I just checked Murglar 2 on my phone and it half-works, not everything is available to play / download but I’m not locked out either

Edit: I updated the app and it is much better, everything I tried downloads
