Getting your articles onto your e-reader, and keeping your place in step across readers. Each reader gets its own password from the Devices page (once you've signed up), so you can revoke one without touching the rest. For the full list of services and readers, see Integrations.
CrossPoint
Open source reading firmware for the Xteink X3 and X4 family and other e-readers. The PaperBoy plugin is the easiest way in: one Sync all puts everything new on the reader, and finishing an article marks it read here.
Needs CrossPoint 2.0.0 or later, with Settings, Connectivity, Plugins turned on.
- On the Devices page (once you've signed up), make a token for the plugin.
- Put the reader in File Transfer mode and open its web page on a phone or computer on the same Wi-Fi.
- In Plugin Hub, add the PaperBoy catalogue (
https://coefficiencies.com/crosspoint/catalog.json) and install the plugin, then enter the server address and token on its card and restart the reader.
Rather not use a plugin? Add your library under Settings, Connectivity, OPDS Servers instead. CrossPoint Sync, in the same menu, keeps your place in step with your other readers.
KOReader and other OPDS readers
KOReader is free reading software for Kobo, Kindle, PocketBook, Android and more. Any other reader that can open an OPDS catalogue works the same way.
- On the Devices page (once you've signed up), make a password for the reader.
- In KOReader, open the search menu, choose OPDS catalog, and add a catalogue with the address, your email and that password.
- To keep your place across readers, make a Reading sync password too and enter it under Progress sync, using a custom sync server.
Pick up where you left off
PaperBoy is also a reading sync server, so your place in a book follows you from one reader to another (CrossPoint, KOReader and Readest all speak it). It works for any book, not just articles, and you can upload your own EPUBs to keep alongside them. For articles from here, your library shows how far you've got.
