Accrescent is in early alpha, but it looks like it’s on its way to be a great, modern app store.

I found the My Deep Guide youtube channel to be a really good source of reviews when I was choosing an eink tablet, here’s a link to his 2022 roundup.
I went with a Supernote A5X around 2.5 years ago. My usecase was for college to take lecture notes and to read academic papers/epubs. I went with the Supernote over the reMarkable for the software support: I really like the concept of reMarkable’s Linux-based OS and being able to use community mods, but it felt like I would need the mods to have all the features I wanted, while the Supernote wouldn’t allow for modification but would have everything I wanted built in. I’ve been satisfied with the writing and reading experience, customer support is responsive via email and Reddit, and OS updates have been adding new features without a subscription.
Starting with Android 12 (and maybe earlier, I think it may be a part of a Google Play update?), you can delete your advertising ID in settings - definitely worth doing!
For my 6a, when it gives me trouble I’ve run my finger against the outside of my nose and tried again - that’s consistently worked for me.
pdfcrop
(commonly included with LaTeX) for cropping margins - it cuts the pdf down to its contents then adds a margin of your choosing, extremely useful for forcing academic papers to have consistent margins, pdfcrop --margins 72 *pdf here*
will create a document with a ~1in margin all around (it uses bp as its units)vips
for resizing/converting images - it’s a bit faster and lighter than imagemagick in my experience, although the main reason I use it instead of imagemagick is just because I like playing around with stuff I haven’t used before :) It has an officially supported python binding too
You may like this pattern of starting all custom commands with a comma - benefits against a wrapper command would be shorter command names and built-in tab completion.
