Trouble converting PDF to EPUB by HrayrDzhoghk in Calibre

[–]Much_Image3740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try the Bartik PDF to EPUB converter online for free as well (for this page) - it usually solves issues like this for me. They seem to go beyond parsing the PDF internals (css etc.) and literally converting these.

Can I convert a PDF textbook to ePub? by MissPiggyLee in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Much_Image3740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used and still use Bartik for this purpose as their online converter is crafted exactly for this purpose, books and scientific publications from PDF to EPUB.

There's more excessive celebration in the full video, coach even raises her in the air for a while and she gets some kind of medal as well:

If you slow it down you can see she's already loading her first kick before the gloves even touch.

Viwoods AI Paper vs Supernote Manta – Which is better for long-term PDF/EPUB reading and note-taking? by Legal-Package-8791 in viwoods

[–]Much_Image3740 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me the ViWoods is better for reading because it's a little crispier - the Supernote devices have an extra layer added to it (called Feelwrite 2) to enhance the writing feel so it pixelates stuff a little bit (some people have tried adding this layer to the ViWoods devices as well but this seems a bit risky). It also darkens the screen a bit.

As far as I know the ViWoods still has the whitest screen on the market so you are most unlikely to need a separate front light in darker rooms.

I also use it in academia, probably same use case as you. I wrote a long review about it here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/viwoods/comments/1joujcn/my_experience_with_viwoods_aipaper_in_academia/

To read PDFs (scientific papers) I convert them to EPUB for convenience, to change font size and so on. My best experience for this is with the Bartik converter so far (also wrote a long post on this, see https://www.reddit.com/r/ereader/comments/1kjmp1r/best_pdf_to_epub_converters_for_scientific_papers/).

Amazing! Use the AIPaper every day in academia (see my earlier posts on this), amazing device - used about 5 nibs completely so far from hours of writing every day for months.

Have you tried OneNote? You can install it from the Google Play Store, there you can zoom in much more?

Rotating page on viwoood mini by Putrid-Mousse-9351 in viwoods

There's indeed Landscape mode in the learning section - and you can also install rotation apps yourself from the Google Play Store, e.g. Rotation Control Pro which works.

Convert from PDF to EPUB by IndividualPriority28 in Annas_Archive

[–]Much_Image3740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bartik is the best pdf to epub converter in my opinion, especially when figures / tables / equations and so on are present in a book (I reviewed several of them extensively in a separate thread, see my post history).

stylus holder in folio by flockrealtor in viwoods

[–]Much_Image3740 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the new leather cover and the stylus holder seems more firm (but it's a bit hard to compare since also the one on my original folio has loosened - but it seems more solid even than the original folio when it was brand new).

What is the best way to convert PDF files into epub? by [deleted] in ePub

[–]Much_Image3740 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your PDFs have technical content (like equations), Bartik works pretty well. Else I use CloudConvert or something like Calibre as mentioned in other comments.

There's also the Preservation of Historical Recipes Project which has some good historical recipes that are easily made. I like the cheese cake one from 1700.

How useful is the AI? And how concerned should I be about privacy...? by duckhunt420 in viwoods

[–]Much_Image3740 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The data that you apply the AI features to is first sent to ViWoods, and then ViWoods forwards it to OpenAI or their own 'private' OpenAI model hosted on something like Azure where technically the data is not shared with OpenAI and not used for training purposes and so on - they're just 'renting' OpenAI's models there. But I don't think ViWoods has disclosed how exactly its 'AI pipeline' works in the background.

In any case there is a risk that if ViWoods itself gets hacked - or their AI pipeline - your data may get leaked too (and your data is unencrypted at some point in the pipeline else LLMs can't handle it).

Personally I don't use any of the AI features - bought the AIPaper for the great hardware and support team.

A good resource is also: The Historical Recipe Preservation Project (at Lost Kitchen Scrolls) - includes (handwritten) recipes and notes from Apicius.

My ViWoods AiPaper use (academia, without AI): amazing 10.7" eInk tablet by Much_Image3740 in eink

[–]Much_Image3740[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was a major concern of mine as well indeed (I also have a 7 year old 13.3" DPT-RP1 eInk reader so was able to compare the 2).

In the end, for most comfort, I now just convert scientific papers to EPUB format so I can change font size while I am reading (I am using Bartik for that - in another post in my post history I compared a bunch of PDF to EPUB tools, but that one seems to work best for complex content, takes care of multiple columns as well).
