The main audience of KCC doesn't have access to the powerful features of koreader, but filesize optimization is pretty nice and can get filesizes down significantly. Cropping whitespace between panels (not just margins on the edge) is

Oh... the sample links are all dead. They were made by previous KCC maintainer. For now, here's some kindle scribe samples. The mobi can be usb transferred, the epub can be sent via Send to Kindle. They might look fine on other Kindles

You just drag and drop the mobi file into the documents folder on the Kindle. If you are on macOS, you need the Amazon USB File Manager app to do that on newer MTP based Kindles. Older kindles just used ordinary USB mass storage protocol. L

This is way too expensive. I’ll stick to my Kindle and eink phone for now. I recorded a video of me reading Hacker News on my eink android phone and Kindle here. It actually works great. https://youtu.be/onvSjhubvQ8 Apps us

OK, admittedly it does look bad on video, but seeing it in person is a totally different experience. 1) Rapidly changing between apps without pressing the manual refresh button is a little unrealistic usage. Also, the ghosting is way less n

I love eInk. It's so nice to look at compared to normal LCD screens. I got an eInk phone, which is much cheaper than these full sized monitors though. Here's a video of me reading Hacker News on an eInk phone: https://y

Please don't landfill it. Recycle it responsibibly once it's lifetime is over by recycling it to Apple or taking it to a local electronics recycler like Best Buy.
