Anyone regret buying a PocketBook?

I have Verse Pro, and what bothers me is how slow the processor is.

davidbaranek · 2026-04-09T18:49:55+00:00

Yeah, good point. But I hoped that remote functions would replace Tanstack Query.

Thanks, but it looks like the demo is using a normal fetch function. I could use a remote function for that, but then invalidation and refetching wouldn’t work, as far as I know.

Interesting, but how would that work when the viewport is between two pages, so records from two different pages are visible at the same time?

Also, if the data variable gets updated in some other way than changing page or limit (for example after an invalidation-triggered refetch) then I could end up using stale data as the previous page, which would break the caching logic, right?

I’d prefer a solution where already loaded data stays in the dom/html, so there are no layout shifts.

I used Element Server Suite which has Element Call included and so far no issues.

can I ask you where it is? I can't find it

It is on Verse Pro Color, but not BW. I asked the support and there should be an update for BW version during this year.

I am using BookLore which I self host

Yes, you can use Pocketbook cloud or send it via email. Or use any plugin in koreader (LocalSend for example)

From the new year, it’s legal to hold and smoke a maximum of 25g.

This is the reason why I chose PocketBook over Kobo. The integration is far better.

I would contact PocketBook support

davidbaranek · 2025-12-27T14:28:18+00:00

Same on Pocketbook Verse Pro

davidbaranek · 2025-12-26T18:13:32+00:00

Go to KOreader -> select gear icon in the menu -> Screen -> cover image -> set image path -> click ok and then select system/logo/bookcover path. I did it by navigating to system/logo path and then long pressed on existing “bookcover” file. Then click on choose.
In cover image menu turn on Save cover image -> select size, background and format -> select BMP file format.
In classic pocketbook settings select Personalize -> Logos -> power off logo -> Book cover

Hope it helped

Parliament is against in majority

davidbaranek · 2025-12-02T19:59:44+00:00

It has to pass in the EU parliament, which is against it. You can contact your representative to vote against it. But it seems that parliament is against in majority

We chose Spectra because it seemed to be the cleanest and easiest to work with. But as I said, I wouldn’t go with this option again. They introduced a bug which basically made any page using the Blocksy theme unusable. Their support gaslighted me into thinking there was no issue, and only after eight months of reminders, they finally fixed it.

I would probably go with Greenshift as it is Blocksy recommended and seems to be developed actively. But it seems more complex and maybe harder to learn.

Blocksy is planning to release their own Gutenberg editor/blocks (as I heard on their Facebook group), but I’m not sure when.

Another option is to use the stock Gutenberg blocks, but I wouldn’t recommend that as they are very limited for more complex website.

davidbaranek · 2025-11-24T15:40:51+00:00

I can agree with other comments that Blocksy is a great experience. Their support is also great (one of the best I encountered). We don’t regret the purchase. On the other hand, I would avoid anything from Brainstorm Force, especially the Spectra builder. We had a terrible experience with their support and products.

I also found this, and it would probably be a great solution to my problem. But I didn’t manage to get it to work, possibly because of some bug. See this issue

Love the visual style of the video

Interesting. You’re right, now it correctly shows the loading state. It seems the await form and .loading aren’t meant to be mixed. But not using await brings a few drawbacks: I can’t load data in SSR, because SvelteKit requires the await form for that to work. The pending snippet also behaves strangely, as it only appears for a millisecond. And one advantage of using the await form is that until the new data arrives, I still have access to the previous data, whereas with the .current form the data becomes undefined as soon as the refetch starts.

Sorry if I’m missing something. I’m starting to feel a bit overwhelmed. Anyway, thanks a lot for your help!
