MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - KPV: a PDF reader for Kindle, based on muPDF, GPLv3

I think I know what's going on. There _is_ the possibility to open a PDF that is actually opened with the Kindle viewer with the muPDF viewer: it works by pressing Shift-P-P. The file browser (Shift-P-D) however uses the direction pad - and is preconfigured for the kindle DX. It has different key codes so a K3 wouldn't work out of the box. However, it should work when you adapt the kpdf.sh script in the launchpad folder a bit to call

Code:

./reader.lua -d k3 "$pdf"

(so add "-d k3" to that line)

I'll add an automatic switch for the device types in the next version I'll release. I hope to have some spare time on the weekend to work on it. Thank you all for the feedback. It's far from being ready, but anyone who wants can play with it. And of course, I'll happily accept pull requests on github :-)
