11 months agoIf you want the instances to sync, you just need to sync the directory. (I currently use nextcloud sync for this, but in the past I used synching and before that btsync)
If they dont try to modify the files at the same time (with sync delay) there won’t be any issues. If they do grow out of sync, you can fix pretty easily with db repair.
Older Boox’s weren’t certified for the Play store, so you couldn’t run play store apps, but that hasn’t been true for a while. You can run pretty much any Android app (though many don’t work well on e-ink), and the older Boox’s run older Android versions that aren’t compatible with many apps in the Play store even if they can connect.
I think you’re referring to “koreader” which started life as alternative kobo e-reader firmware, but now has an android port, but it just runs as an android app, that’s what I run on my Boox Palma, but if it reboots, I have to relaunch koreader.
