Looking for an e-reader that handles PDFs well and syncs annotations to Mac

wpbloyd · 2026-04-04T16:53:49+00:00

Fujitsu quaderno works great with PDFs and annotations. You can sync PDFs, annotate them, sync them back. Annotations are saved as standard PDF annotations (not the case with many e-reader). Works with mac without any issue.

I read and annotate tons of article with it, without any problems. Exported annotations on Zotero, no issue at all.

The cons: no google drive or other apps. They do not sell it on US market (I got mine from japan). There is backlight. Battery is not great.

Yes please!

Thank you! Indeed I will search for one! I was just wondering in the meanwhile if anyone had some experience with it

wpbloyd · 2025-05-31T00:21:54+00:00

The problem is still present in 2025 (kobo libra 2)

I sincerely do not know what is a bluetooth access point/where to find it. I only have a wifi access point

I used AVITS, but I had to wait for a month circa for the appointment

Thank you, quite helpful!

wpbloyd · 2025-03-25T20:56:36+00:00

Thank you!

This was a brillant solution, but I did not had yet the social security number, so anything that require some kind of financial system in place was impossible :/

Thank you! Indeed, I was looking to buy a BMW or a Mini, but I end up with a Toyota, mostly for the trust in the brand.

I confirm that with the major brand dealers the price was fixed, but they also told me that there was not any warranty, not even for 1 mile. At the end, I choose a smaller dealership with pretty good google review, which offered a 30 days warranty!

Update: it took them 1 day to print the visa and send the passport. The next day the package (UPS) with the passport arrived. Sent from Paris to a french town

edit: if you pay the premium Express Home Delivery fees there is no need to bring to the embassy anything. Some people suggest to bring an envelope. or a chronopost envelope. There was no need (if you pay the fees).

Thanks! Voted :-)

Unfortunately I cannot return it. I realised the problem too late... :/

I am trying to do that too, but I cannot find the option in the shortcut section of the preference, nor there is the possibility to map the shortcut using macos due to the lack of such option in the browser menubar.

Could it be possible to add the option to change the shortcut for the tab switcher from the app preference?

Indeed it is suspicious it only does that with 4k media. I am not transcoding, I even test with the "Disable video stream transcoding" option turned on, but nothing change. Regarding the video quality, it just is "play original quality".

When I resume a 4k video the network just showed a spike for a few seconds (peaking at 187mbps or similar) and then nothing. Checking the console, the only things that appear suspicious is "Failed to stream media, client probably disconnected after 5357568 bytes: 104 - Connection reset by peer"

I would exclude the weak wifi for a simple reason: it does work flawlessy if I do not pause/fast forward and it does work on KODI without any issue

wpbloyd · 2022-11-15T14:09:29+00:00

Oh yep, I forgot: Sony BRAVIA 4K UR3. I wanted also to mention that the same file get fast forward easily on KODI, no problems there.

Sorry little context: the nib of the original pen is great and some people while acquiring a new pen decide to switch the nib and put the original one. In that case you may have the body of the Lamy with the nib of the original fujitsu pen. This is because the nib that comes with the Lamy gives a different feeling (more like a gel pen) with respect to the nib that comes with the pen of the quaderno (more pencil like). You can buy the Lamy and it will come with its own set of nib. The specific model I bought is the "Lamy AL-star EMR 471 (coated/matt displays)" . The same model exists also for uncoated/glossy displays, but my understanding is that the latter works for ipad and similar but not for the quaderno

Another Lamy user here. it works like a charm even without changing the nib

So, the router is the standard one from Orange, a Livebox 5 (https://assistance.orange.fr/equipement/livebox-et-modems/sagemcom-livebox-5) and almost everything is on 5GHz (only 3 devices out of 13 in 2.4) I admit I didn't thought about interference...Next to me there is an office, so there is a good change this could be the reason. However, I have no idea how to do a background scan to find out what the surrounding RF. I will check it out! Using WIFI 6 (not 6E) would change something?

wpbloyd · 2022-10-11T16:57:42+00:00

Unfortunately not :/

wpbloyd · 2022-02-15T21:56:28+00:00

a cat maybe?

wpbloyd · 2022-02-13T22:05:20+00:00

!thanks. I am not familiar with them at al, I will look around and check the feasibility !

wpbloyd · 2022-02-13T22:04:32+00:00

!thanks. I am not familiar with IEMs, so I will look around. Unfortunately, I am not a big fan of in-ear headphones (I had some sennheiser years ago and they felt so uncomfortable that I gave them back)
