My life has just been changed. It turns out you can sideload the #Zotero Android app onto a #Supernote, and then actually get access to all your Zotero synced files. It's a teeny bit involved, but mangeable:

1. Go to Supernote settings>Security & Privacy and enable side loading. This will turn on the USB port for Android debug tools.

2. Install the #Android platform tools (on Mac `brew install android-platform-tools`)

3. Grab a nightly build from github.com/northword/zotero-an of it.

4. Connect Supernote to a computer (in my case a Mac).

5. Run `adb install $filename.apk`

It will now be in your "sidebar". It might be under "more". But I was able to log in, and it synced 2,000ish documents in just a couple minutes. Obviously you need to be on WiFi for this.

6. If you're paranoid, turn off side-loading.

The reader has full markup capabilities, and syncs quite quickly back. See attached screenshots.

Everytime I run, I have ideas. Today's was to reorganize my site based on the Timeline System. Latest posts, podcast episodes, and videos would be in a Action folder. The old ones in the Timeline. Library, Toolbox, etc. are Static Containers (folders). #Supernote

Anyone have an eink writing device? I'm looking into them. Portability is important to me for notes, so the 10s seem large. But the only smaller device that seems highly recommended is the Nomad. Is that my best option?

I opened up the SuperNote Manta to install some extra storage via a micro SD card. Bit of a pain to get it open (tight fit), but easy enough to do. I wouldn’t do it often given the plastic latches, but nice to see a user-serviceable unit (as is the Nomad).
