You’re stuck paying Amazon for books until the end of time. But buying a Kindle means buying into Amazon’s ebook ecosystem. The flashing at opening in both Libby and Kindle is enough to make me have to look away from the device for a minute or so while the software loads.Amazon dominates the e-reader market, and for some people that’s just fine. If there's no solution without extra transfers involved, has anyone had any luck optimizing Libby? I tried a few variations of animation timeouts, regal refresh, A2 (which doesn't work well when graphics are involved), contrast, etc. If I wanted to run everything I read through Calibre and sideload I would have just stuck to my kindle and not spent the money on this. Doing that defeats the purpose of buying an android ereader though. I went to storage and tried to find where the books are kept for both programs but it looks like maybe they have DRM or are encrypted somehow? Maybe this won't be possible without running them through calibre and transferring them back as regular books. I tried configuring library settings to scan all storage and then refreshed the library. It was nearly unusable before optimizing.


Libby is even worse with flashing and slow, sometimes unresponsive page turns even after optimizing. The Kindle app is fine once you're in to a book but a flashing mess getting there because of the graphics even after optimizing. How do I get books downloaded in Kindle, Libby, or other storefront/library apps to show up in the main library screen that my Nova Pro defaults to on boot? I'd love to be able to read these books in the default reading app. (In order: Protonmail, Kindle, Outlook, Word, PowerDMS, Autosync for OneDrive, Gospel Library, Firefox Notes) "com_amazon_kindle"), drop them into the "/Downloads/Onyx/Icons" folder (where you'll find a number of other icons ready to go, but the only one that was there of the apps I use was Firefox, so YMMV), and then restart your device, and the icon will be the lovely, high-contrast logo.Īfter I made them, I figured someone else might be looking for the same kind of thing, so I'll post them here for anyone to use. It's fairly simple to create them, and all you have to do is make sure they're named the same as the app package (eg. I looked around a little bit and couldn't find what I was looking for, so I ended up making some of my own. I'm a little OCD (figuratively), and couldn't stand that the icons downloaded via the Google Play Store didn't have nice, high-contrast icons like the apps that come pre-loaded on the device. I've owned several e-readers over the past 10 years or so, but just got my hands on a Boox Note Pro, and I'm pretty happy with it so far.
