The Android-System-Settings can be accessed easier:
Go to "Settings" and select "Application management". Go to "All apps". There you'll find a "Seetings"-App with a coloured Logo. When opened select "Open" in the upper left. Voila! These are the Android-System-Settings. |

FWIW, I was able to rsync my existing ebooks to the device via Termux - this is what I like about Android i.e. the ability to use tools that I am used to without many constraints. |

Just received my Pocketbook EO yesterday after supper. I had ordered it Tuesday morning whole in dialysis (I usually take a 12,9 iPad Pro in, but wanted an ereader device). I prdered from Amazon.ca and it took 82 hours to arrive from the moment I clicked ‘pay’.
I”ll have a lot more to say about it when I’m more familiar with the device, but a few cursory comments. -Quite a struggle for an hour or so because I’ve primarily used Macs for 40 years, other than forced Windows use when at work, but after rereading the PDF manual I’d already downloaded on an iPad Pro it started to make sense. -Downloading nd installing KorReader was a snap; searching with the built in browserfor github and then downloading and click installing the apk file. So now I have pocketbook reader, Xreader and KorReader to choose and learn from without having yet to buy another app. -Getting books onto it has proved somewhat of a struggle; though I’m sure that will become easier. I have nothing but….Macs (but I do have Parallels installed and Wimdows 11 arm64 under that). Thought I would be able to install good ole trusty Calibre and just use that - but no, some kimd of funky error. I’ll post that tomorrow when it’s not 4:30 am. I’m sure someone will know what I’m not doing. -Also could not figure out how to be able to email books to the reader, deriving a pbsync email address (getting the email address was a no go so far), but I did manage to use 2 methods to transfer books to the device. 1) Installing Google Drive on my Mac and the ereader and going from Mac > Google Drove > ereader 2) Using wifi transfer and sending readables to http://196.something:58888 from a Mac > ereader These alone would make me happy since I’ve got some large colour comics (The Walking Dead) which would probably make my email server choke. Also can’t get the ereader to show up as a removavble drive on my Mac(s) desktops. Connects via USB-C and charges, but I don’t know which Android file transfer spp I need to i stall or where to download from. Also a small and not unsolvable problem. It arrived 88% charged, so I was able to start using/learning right away. Getting google play store to work was easy-peasy and I’m pleased with how smooth the page turn refreshes are; much nicer than the Kobo Elipsa I currently have. Will experiment with it more tomorrow during dialysis and as long as the Canadian footnall game tomorrow night isn’t too interesting, I’ll start obsessively posting. Thanks to all who have posted before, and specifically in this thread. Tom |

I don't think the EO has a pbsync email-adress.
For syncing files from iPad to Windows, Linux or Android I use LANDdrop. They also provide a version for macOS. Works fine for me! |

I found an application from github called OpenMTP; but will certainly give LANDdrop a try as well. I had to run the application in legacy mode , but all of a sudden the books (and comics too) just started showing up. Really like Calibre, but what works, works. I knew that audiobooks worked (I test played the Sherlock Holmes novel), but was very happy to find that Apple Music worked. Thanks for LANDdrop. Tom |

If problems with Apple devices and USB mass storage mode appear it is allways useful to try to put an USB hub between the devices. Sometimes that solves the problem.
For the wireless options there is an Android app called TotalCommander which supports plugins. We have several plugins for it that support Online storage and other useful things. Have a look here: https://www.ghisler.com/androidplugins/googleplay/ |
