I know this is not really answering your question, but I’ve developed an android app (ZotShelf) that shows the covers of your epub books in Zotero. It’s only in closed beta now, but if you’re interested I’m looking for testers of the beta version. I…

Hehe, I'm trying to recreate the app as a plugin but as I'm only vibe coding it, I can't promise anything. I'm not an Obsidian user and I'm not sure what the plugins you're using are. Do all your books have a link to the cover image in their notes? …

Hi @Negyb, I just released an android app that creates a cover view, ZotShelf. It shows the covers in a collection in Zotero side by side. It is currently in closed beta, but send me a mail on appbugge@gmail.com if you wan to try. More info in this …

@capelo If you use Android check out my new app for showing the book covers from Zotero. It's called ZotShelf and is in closed beta at the moment but send me an e-mail if you're interested in testing it: www.oyvindsolheim.com/other/ZotShelf

Thank you! The new version works great.

I couldn’t find the original post, but the sync popup is very annoying when I’m reading pdfs on my boox (android). Maybe this is not the expected behavior but every time I’m highlighting a text section the popup covers the bottom part of the text. W…

@tomabel my guess is that boox hasn't implemented that part of the Zotero API. I'm not sure how the boox implementation works, but you could try to upload the file to the zotero web library and check if it is a problem with the boox-implementation o…

## - Are you doing this on Android or on your computer? I think Android, as you said you tested in your boox device? So you are opening a browser to your web library and downloading the PDF? Yes. That is how I do it ## - How is Zotero for Androi…

I guess you've seen the boox-feature on top that lets you download the files directly to the Boox from Zotero and sync them back (although the syncing back is not very reliable). A second option is to download each file in the browser on the boox.…
-
For the first use case: I know this is not the solution you're looking for, but it is possible to download the pdfs from the web library. Testing this on my boox (android), the exported pdf included the annotations I had made earlier in Zotero on t…
-
I think we probably need to contact Boox. The integration isn't developed by Zotero so Boox has to fix it.
-
I think scite.ai offers something similar. You can specify a Zotero folder and ask questions to a RAG-model that works with the papers in the folder. Of course you’ll need a subscription to use it and I think it may be that it only works with file…

It would be really cool to have a cover view in Zotero. I've moved from Kindle to Zotero and transferred all my ebooks. I was missing the Kindle widget showing the book I was reading and made a work around. I don't think it is too difficult to make …
-
@avoyager i guess the answer depends on how important hand drawing is. I find the zotero client good enough to just read and highlight, but neoreader is of course better for drawing and to reduce the input lag. The zotero integration on boox is a…

I have boox note air 2 plus tablet and a smaller nova air. Both have bw e paper screen and let's you draw with a pen. The first has built in zotero support so you can download pdfs in the gui and let them be synced back into the zotero cloud automat…
-
I wasn't able to upload the image now, but the colors aren't labeled in the beta. They are different shades of grey dots. I guess they follow an order so that you can choose the correct color if you remember the ordering I've been using the web libr…
-
Thank you! Works great on Boox Note air 2 plus. And the palm reaction is very good. Nice to see how the app develops!
-
Sorry! Forgot about webdav. Didn't know you could use that with Zoo and I haven't used it before. (I think zotero can write the zotero annotations to the pdf when you're using the program on desktop. It was at least discussed in a post earlier. If …
-
One alternative is downloading them (or annotating them) in the web library. You can download the pdfs with annotations from the web library. If you're not drawing a lot the web view of pdfs is very good for highlighting and reading.
-
Thanks for the quick response. Even before you fix it it's fantastic with epub support in the web library
-
Yes, it seems to work well. I'm attaching what I see in the header in the web viewer. It shows first a local number based on the size of the page you're watching and then the "real" page number and the number of pages. https://s3.amazonaws.com/zote…
-
I tried it now on my Boox note air 2 plus and the pdf showed up in the attachment tab. I managed to both draw, underline and highlight with neo reader and it synced as it should to zotero. However, the underline did not show up as an annotation so …
-
The hover feature is great! It would be really cool if you could include it in the Android version too. Now, when I use the web library I'm able to hover with my pencil on android, but not in the beta app. I'm using a Boox note 2 and it works with…
-
(Not really what you're looking for but) the epub-reader in the web library works very well and also works in safari on ios. I've used it alot already for epub books.
-
I can't get page turning to work on Zotero Beta version 80 on a Boox Note 2. When I touch the side of the page in a pdf it either shows me the thumbnail pages at the bottom or does nothing. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I've restarted the ap…

Will the recently read collection be available across devices? And through the API?
-
It does not seem to be a problem anymore. I've opened multiple epubs (also new files) and none behaved like before. I wasn't able to add files to zotero ios from inside the app, but shared them from finder on ios. When I opened the web library after…
-
Ok! I didn't think about that possibility. I probably added the problem epubs on my iphone (ios beta) and the others (that worked) on my computer with the 7 beta from calibre. When I downloaded the files and added them again via the web library uplo…

if you put everything you want to download in a folder you can long press the folder and select download attachments. was that the functionality you're after?
-
Are you planning on opening more testing slots any time soon? I guess I'm not the only one eagerly awaiting the possibility to try Zotero on Android.
