On a laptop, you can easily write a script to do this. On iOS, using Siri Shortcuts, you should be able to cobble up something, too.
BTW, I, too, really like my Kindle Oasis, but it sucks for academic text. How good is this Onyx thing? What are its disadvantages compared to an iPad? How good is it for surfing the net? (I personally like the “doesn’t bother my eyes” part much better than “distraction-free”)
It’s actually running a modified version of Android, so you have a lot of possible functionality. For example, YouTube and Google Drive technically work. However, the low refresh rate means that you’re not really incentivized to do anything else other than read.
I think it’s just very good at what it does, which is display ebooks at a very large size. It also comes with a stylus to draw and markup text, but I don’t really use that.
I care a lot about visuals, so the e-ink display (as opposed to just an iPad Pro) is a really big pro for me. If you’re fine with a backlit display and want to be able to multitask in any reasonable capacity, the iPad is probably still better.
