Tomelet

BOOX & e-ink

Read on your BOOX. Carry on everywhere.

On a BOOX with Google Play, Tomelet installs like any other app. Read on the e-ink screen, then pick up the same book on your phone, your computer or the web with Tomelet Sync, your place, highlights and handwritten notes right where you left them. A minute of setup gets the e-ink screen ready.

Free on Google Play, with no account. Tomelet Sync is US$9.99 a month after a 14-day free trial.

One library, every screen

Your BOOX, your phone and your computer, on the same page.

Tomelet Sync carries what makes a book yours from the e-ink screen to every other device you read on, encrypted on your device before it leaves.

Your place

Close the book on your BOOX and it opens at the same place on your phone.

Highlights & notes

Mark a passage on the e-ink screen and find it, with its note, on every other device.

Handwriting on its words

Change the font or text size and a drawing stays on its words, scaled to them, on the BOOX and everywhere else.

Every platform

Android, iPhone and iPad, Windows, Mac, Linux and the web: one library on all of them.

Set up the e-ink screen in a minute

Four settings, set once, and every page reads cleanly on your BOOX.

Keep Tomelet ready to open

Your BOOX pauses newly installed apps to save power. To keep Tomelet ready to open from a link and to receive new books, open the Apps tab on your BOOX, tap the snowflake at the top right to open Freeze Settings, and switch Tomelet off. If you don’t see the snowflake, open the ☰ menu on the same tab, then App Management, then App Freeze. The labels can differ slightly with your BOOX’s firmware.

Pick a refresh mode in E Ink Center

With Tomelet open, swipe down for the BOOX control centre and open E Ink Center. Choose HD for reading (Balanced on some models), or Regal where your BOOX offers it. Your BOOX keeps that mode for Tomelet.

Turn off the page animation

In Tomelet, open Settings, then under Reading open Reading appearance and set Page turn to None. Each page then appears at once, with no animation for the screen to redraw.

Clear the screen as you read

If a page leaves a faint trace of the one before, turn on E-ink flash in Settings: a short Black or White flash every few pages helps clear it.

Bring your books in

Your BOOX keeps its books in its Books folder, and Tomelet adds the whole folder to your library in one go.

From your BOOX

In your library, tap Import books, choose Import folder and pick the Books folder. Books already in your library are skipped, so run it again whenever you add more.

From your other devices

With Tomelet Sync, a book you import on your phone or computer arrives on your BOOX too.

Free classics

Choose Browse public domain on the same screen and download classics straight into your library.

Every format you own

EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3, FB2, DjVu, CBZ comics, DOCX, TXT, Markdown and HTML all open, DRM-free.

FAQ

Questions & answers

Can I read the same books on my BOOX, my phone and my computer, with my notes?

Yes. With Tomelet Sync, your books, reading positions, highlights, notes and handwriting stay in step across your BOOX, Android phones and tablets, iPhone and iPad, Windows, Mac, Linux and the web at web.tomelet.app. Everything is encrypted on your device before it is uploaded. On the BOOX alone, the reader is free and needs no account.

Does Tomelet suit an e-ink screen?

Yes, after a minute of setup: set Page turn to None in Reading appearance, choose a reading refresh mode for Tomelet in the BOOX E Ink Center, and turn on E-ink flash if a page leaves a trace of the last one.

How do PDFs read on a 7- to 10-inch screen?

A PDF opens as its exact page, fitted whole so nothing is cut off. Pinch to zoom in on small print and drag to move around the page.

Can I write with my BOOX pen?

Yes. Your BOOX pen writes, highlights and underlines in Tomelet like any active pen on Android: touch the page and write, while your fingers turn the pages. For the quickest ink, choose a faster refresh mode for Tomelet in E Ink Center while you write.

Do my handwritten notes survive a font change and reach my other devices?

Yes. Change the font or text size and a drawing stays on its words, scaled to them, and on a PDF ink stays exactly where you drew it. With Tomelet Sync, your handwriting reaches your phone and computer too.
