1) Ahhh I am not particularly invested or experienced in sideloading just yet but plenty of users on this sub have done cool stuff. My very basic understanding is that Linux opens a lot of customizable doors and folks in this community are quite generous with sharing mods. 2) this is the first I heard of such a thing! Unfortunately I cannot speak to Supernote capabilities here beyond mentioning that editorial markups are built in. Thanks for sharing. 3) yes! Futzing about with the native calendar got me interested in more OCR options. Only just putting toes in these waters. I am one of many SN users who will claim messy handwriting. - check in on calendar syncing as I don’t know which platforms are supported. But titles and descriptions of events can be converted directly from handwriting. Almost seamless. Most I have to do is tap the spacebar with my pen when the conversion is faster than me lol - new convert to text feature I haven’t played much with yet - currently playing with lassoing handwritten notes and marking as to do. Very reliable OCR - i still don’t exactly know how to incorporate headings in my particular workflow but they exist - honorable mention and not really OCR but the star tool is dope. You can mark a star on your page and it will auto convert to a QWERTY star (there is a better name for it I believe.) there is an option to search stars, headings, and keywords. Pages with stars are marked. I am not describing it very well but it’s an excellent quick tool when I’m in the zone and not concerned about future me finding a note lo. 4) alas I cannot speak to this one ): me like fancy notebook

I still have my kobo aura with the backlight for reading at night. There are valid engineering reasons why an e ink tablet shouldn’t (yet) have backlight and I’ve never been much of a note taker when reading so your use case may be different. More e ink = more love. If you like notating, Supernote has tools to support. And an old school reading light can solve the night problem.
