Text highlighting #22

Closed jharder01 closed 1 year ago

Exciting project!

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the correct area but I have a question on functionality. This project looks like a great way to ditch a Kindle but is there a text highlight/comment system? I currently have a workflow around the text file Kindle creates out of notes (clippings.txt) but would much rather move to an open source alternative.

Thanks for the comment! At this time the software (MVBook, in the examples folder) is pretty basic; you can turn pages and see progress, but text highlighting is a ways off. I designed the d-pad with the hope of adding this kind of feature in the future, but the software as it stands is mostly a proof of concept. I'm focused on getting the hardware to a point where the device is manufacturable and more broadly available, so more folks than just me can work on software support.
