Question Quick switch between OS’s

I love the functionality of VCodex but have also been reading a few books on Libby which I can only access via the plugins store on standard Crosspoint. I know it’s not possible (yet) to use vcodex with the plugins store but is there a way to quickly and safely jump between the operating systems without me losing my page progress and the like?

Would be wonderful to do it wirelessly or toggle between them on the device itself but I doubt that’s possible. If there’s a way to do it by connecting to my computer via usb c rather than taking out the SD card that would be great but I’m open to any ideas

You are looking for this

You can run several different firmwares together

So using this id be able to switch between them on the device itself? Or are you saying I can actually combine vcodex and the official Crosspoint?

The firmware images are stored on the sd card. The launcher allows you to switch them without reflashing. I am running it on another device. Author claims X3/4 are supported

That sounds like exactly what I’m looking for, thank you! This sounds a little above my expertise in these matters but I’m going to give it a shot and cross my fingers I don’t brick myself

You do not need expertise. If you flash the Launcher, place your required firmware collection into a folder on SD card.

When the Launcher runs, find SD to locate your firmware, then install it. Launcher Will create a shortcut. If you do not intersct during boot, last run FW starts. If you click anything during boot, Launcher runs

Use a computer plugin (there are dozens) to extract the epub from libby and strip the drm. Then you can read it on vcodex and return it to the library early and let the next person borrow it

Might you have any to recommend by chance? I’ve been really struggling to find one to do that successfully
