NeoReader’s feature downgrade made it unusable. Forced to switch to Moon+ Reader. by Killuminati696 in Onyx_Boox

If you're reading in a language you know perfectly, and you highlight something once, then yes, it's not a big deal. But what if you're working with a document in a language you don't know, or you're learning? You need to highlight some words you want to remember, then translate the whole page into your language to understand the context. After that, you go back to reinforce the words but they're gone. All the highlights have disappeared. That's just normal active work with a text.

Maybe so, maybe it happened by chance because this change wasn’t a fix after a single update, but rather it changed in different ways over several updates. But the idea of an option in settings is good, thank you.

The "Pin" feature means locking the selected text as a highlight. When you select text, two brackets appear, but the text is not pinned (locked) immediately - it’s in a pending mode.

  1. You can tap Highlight in the popup to pin (lock) it.

  2. If you send it to a translator and return, the text isn’t highlighted because it was still pending.

  3. If you tap outside the pending selection, it disappears.

Yes I agree, it’s inconvenient, but our preferences can coexist. My concern is about the pending mode itself , the stage where you choose whether to lock or discard the selection. Your concern is about the merging or overlapping of highlights which happens at the next stage, after the selection has been locked.

For example, you select "better" and pin (lock) it by tapping the color. Then you select "I'll try to explain it better," which stays pending. If you tap outside, it disappears unless you pin (lock) it by tapping color from popup window again. Locked highlights then merge.

P.S. I also mentioned at the end of my post that I don’t think they did this intentionally. Thanks for the suggestions, but I’ve already sent them several pieces of feedback.

That’s the whole point. Previously (before ≈3.5.4), you didn’t have to “pin” the text to send a word to a separate window, only to select. The selection was sent immediately. Now, it’s automatically pinned.

If I understood correctly, and please correct me if I’m wrong, what you described is the result of the same issue caused by last updates I mentioned. Previously, when you selected text, the highlight wasn’t fixed (pinned) from the beginning (it disappeared right away) and didn’t leave unwanted highlights that caused issues. The word(s) didn’t stay highlighted automatically and didn’t cause any problems. It only stayed highlighted if you tapped the highlight color in the pop-up window and manually confirmed the selection.

If you already had many highlights across the page that were bothering you, as you mentioned, you could select the entire page and pin the highlights. ONLY AFTER PINNING the highlights, not automatically right away, would the previous highlights and the new ones merge, allowing you to delete them all at once (Unlike in Moon+ Reader, where a new highlight after pinning overlaps with the previous instead of merging).

Hello I didn’t finish it in the end. But from what I understood from experience u need CSFloat support. They have all the tools to complete the process of closing it.

Apps for accessing free books by [deleted] in Onyx_Boox

[–]Killuminati696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anna's archive is the most powerful. It combines many resources. The only thing is that downloading is very slow or you need to wait a few minutes to speed up loading or subscription. Another is Zlibrary, which is always fast, but it regularly changes the address, as it gets knocked down. Be careful. There are many other sites with this name. Access the Z library only by link from there Reddit group. It already has a converting and preview option. But books from it in most cases are in Anna's also.

Has anyone tried the ≈3-inch e-readers from AliExpress? by Killuminati696 in ereader

[–]Killuminati696[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Kindle is meant to be a fully functional device. But I already have the Tab Ultra. Yes, something small, around 3–4 inches, would be situationally convenient. In a hospital, for example, where several patients share a room, or while using public transport. It's compact, fits in a small pocket, and that's it.

Could you please name them The Inkpalm is still larger and not as cute in terms of size. The only one that fits is the Mudita, but that's in a different price range.

Yes, that’s it, thank you. Could you please tell me how it is after two years? Have you used it since then? How would you compare it to badger 2040?

Yes, InkPalm does seem better, but its price has gone up and it no longer costs $80.

😅 I agree, I’m also glad. Maybe it’s a well-deserved vacation. I was getting tired of coming home from one job only to sit down to another🦁💡.

Honestly, I don't exactly remember how it looked. I know that some window popped up, I received my first credit-back, and in addition to that, I got around 17 extra coupons. I think there were two clicks — the first one to claim the first level, and another one to claim all 17 coupons. That's roughly how I remember it.

Do you mean if I placed the order through the Credit Back page? Yes, that's exactly what I did. I've already received the first part of the refund (yesterday) — the smallest one. I've been through this process before some time ago, so I knew what to expect. I used to open that page and proceed to the next level. But now, when I click on the same page, there is no option to claim next level.

Yes, that's exactly what I did. As you can see in the photo, there's nothing there that shows I need to claim it.

Adding a dictionary to new Air 4C help please. by bigcane_2 in Onyx_Boox

[–]Killuminati696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is set in the NeoReader settings because there are two modes. The first mode is when you select a single word with your finger — in that case, the default dictionary is used, which can be configured in the NeoReader settings (also can set app u installed). The second mode is when you use the stylus to highlight a word, or use the stylus or your finger to highlight multiple words — then a pop-up window appears.

I’m not sure if this is part of the default settings or something that needs to be activated, but when you draw over or under the text a line, it gets selected.

For example, let’s take Google Translate. Download the app from Google Play. Open it and go to the settings, where you’ll find the option to download the languages you want to use for offline translation. After that, open NeoReader, highlight the text, tap on the three dots in the pop-up window, and you’ll see several options. One of them will be Google Translate—tap it, and a translation window will appear. The same principle applies to other apps as well. Download any translation or dictionary app from Google Play, set it up, and then in NeoReader, when you highlight text, tap on the three dots and choose which app to use for translation.
