I recently installed the SK ePaper Manager plugin and it has been a great solution for my needs. It works smoothly and helped me manage my ePaper content efficiently. I truly appreciate the developer for creating such a useful plugin. As a suggestion for future updates, it would be even better if multi-station support or easier station management could be added, as my newspaper operates across three stations and I currently have to manage them manually. Overall, I highly recommend this plugin to anyone looking for a reliable ePaper management solution. Great work by the developer!
