Where exactly is the readme file that is mentioned in the intro? I have not seen one anywhere. Sick of waiting for amazon give me an update, I'm taking matters into my own hands. Thanks for all the great work you guys do.

Probably a dumb question, but the instructions say to "apply the standard Amazon Kindle update procedure" - what is that procedure? TIA

Any update regarding special offers?

I would also like to try this out, and I've got a Kindle 3 with special offers (firmware 3.2.1). Do you know if the package should work for me, or are there known issues with the special offers firmware? Thanks. |

hello...
I have launchpad installed and working on a K3 FW 3.2 (I suppose it's 3.2.0). However, I can't make rotate.ini to work. I had rotate.ini working in a previous FW version, so I'm wondering if it's an FW issue. What happens is that when I press the shift, shift, r sequence, I get the success message, but then the device freezes for a couple of seconds and then the it reboots. Btw, rotate.ini is in the launchpad folder and I've done the shift,shift, space sequence. Any help? Thanks! Last edited by Francesco; 06-17-2011 at 09:35 AM. |

The "rotate" hot-key sequence is "shift" "R", not "shift" "shift" "R" which is the "re-boot" shortcut supplied with launchpad.

Hi all,
I've read somewhere that I can use launchpad to install duokan (as my wife would like to read Chinese ebooks on her kindle). I have a Kindle 3 with firmware v3.2.1. I've managed to jailbreak it. To install duokan, do I just copy the duokan files into the kindle, then just assign one of the keys to the command "/mnt/us/DK_System/install/install.sh"? (I prefer not to install the usbnetwork component unless I have to.) Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Cheong |

Also: Doesn't Duokan have a .bin installer? If so, you should just use that. |

Yes, Duokan has a .bin installer but with Kindle version 3.2.1 firmware, it is not possible to use the Duokan installer. Refer to http://www.nikvdp.com/technotes/?p=79. Instead, we have to Jailbreak it, put in the usbNetwork app then telnet into the kindle to run the above script. If I can use launchpad to do a similar thing then it saves me having to muck around with usbNetwork. I'm just a bit concerned that I'll screw something up as I haven't played around much with launchpad yet. |

Try the Launchpad command. If that doesn't work, consider using this tutorial: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=125517 |
