How can I trace a progress sync network issue?

I have been trying to set up progress syncing between my x4 and x3. When I sync on my x4 I can push and pull without issue. If I try the same on my x3 it goes through the handshake and then fails (see video). There is no issue with the wifi as I can connect and access without any problems. It just appears to be the Koreader sync.

Is there a way of getting more information on the network failure?

What can x3 NFC do?

I’ve just ordered an x3 (cleverly the day before the discount was announced 🤦‍♂️) and have been wondering what you can do with the NFC and are the features only available to the stock firmware?

I wish Xteink would update this

I want to get a white x3 but it’s out of stock - fine but this message is very unhelpful given 20th May was nearly four weeks ago. If I preordered would it be sent now as it after 20th May? In six weeks? In six months? No wonder people order elsewhere.

For those that are bound to ask I won’t be buying off AE as I want to get the unlocked edition without having to go through the unlock process and I don’t live in the US so can’t order from Amazon.

Waterproof UK plug

I’m looking for a waterproof smart switch like this one from Shelly but with a UK plug. Don’t mind if it is matter, zigbee or WiFi. Does anyone know if such a thing exists?

What do I need to do to get cover images show on Crosspoint

I love Crosspoint but I wish that more of my books had cover images that displayed. I'd say about 80% of them don't.

I am transferring books via the Crosspoint plug-in on Calibre and tried the following:

  1. doing nothing, just copying across (sometimes works mostly not)
  2. creating a B&W 400x800 image here and then editing the book and injecting this into the book (doesn't work)
  3. taking the SD card, looking for the book folder in .crosspoint and copying the cover created in 2 as cover.bmp into this folder (doesn't work)

I'd really like to have the covers showing and I am willing to put in some effort to get them there but haven't (yet) worked out what I need to do. Anyone have any sure-fire way I can get them working?

Export GEDCOM to book with pictorial tree

I've searched through this subreddit and tried a number of different packages to find what I am looking for but not yet found it and hoping someone here can help.

What I would like to do is compile a book from my GEDcom but to include a small tree for each couple. It's hard to describe but here are a couple of images showing the sort of thing I would like: https://postimg.cc/gallery/zDy1CTt

I'd also be happy with it being a text tree rather than graphical boxes.

Is there any software that does specifically that?

Edited to imclude a link to some images.
