No internet required. No sync software required. It’s quite nice!

- neilv 1y agoI really liked my PocketBook InkPad Lite. After the one-time firmware update, I put it into airplane mode permanently, and always just updated DRM-free books on by plugging it in as USB Storage, and `rsync`-ing `~/doc/` to it. The update script was pretty much this (on a laptop set up not to automatically mount removable filesystems): #!/bin/sh -x DeviceMountPoint="/media/pocketbook" mount "$DeviceMountPoint" || exit 1 cd ~/doc || exit 1 rsync -crltv . "${DeviceMountPoint}/." Status=$? umount "$DeviceMountPoint" exit $Status And the `/etc/fstab` entry was something like: /dev/disk/by-id/usb-USB-FS_PocketBook_MYSERIALNUMBER-0:0 /media/pocketbook vfat user,noauto 0 0
