I have a Kindle keyboard 3 Wi-Fi, firmware 3.4 and want to install english version of Duokan. I tried to reset to factory default, but the firmware didn't change. Can anyone put me in right direction regarding how to get a fully funcional Duokan (I just need it for pdf files)? Thank you very much.

DL link from the first page is dead, but I did try to install Duokan Lite0814.778.1255.rtm.rar and the installation failed, probably because it is written for 3.2.1 and 3.1 firmware.

This is installation instruction for Duokan lite. The download link from original post (the very first post on this thread) is dead now, but I did try with different version of Duokan lite and installation failed.
For Duokan lite it is necessary to have previously installed launchpad (with uninstalled jailbreak), but for full Duokan 2012 version (from original Chinese website) dated 28.12.2012., user doesn't have to install neither jailbreak nor launchpad. I'm downloading now this latest version of Duokan 2012 and will see if it is working on firmware 3.4. To be honest, even if it's working I'm not sure I would manage to navigate through Chinese menu. |

To my surprise, everything went fine with installation of latest Duokan 2012. So, for Kindle Keyboard users, firmware 3.4. here's what to do:
1. Copy DK_System folder on root of Kindle 2. Copy three bin files from the Kindle 3.2.1 folder (for kindle 3.3) on root 3. Disconnect Kindle from PC 4. Menu/Settings/Update your Kindle 5. Be patient. It will update eventually. Now, you will have a dual boot screen, choose Q for Duokan or W for Kindle. If someone has User Manual in English, it would be great, as this is the furthest I can go. Don't have a clue what to do next, to import pdf books and try to change the language settings (although I believe it would be impossible). Thanks Thomass for your replies! |

Great, thank you very much, I switched it to English! Smart layout works like a charm! Is it possible to change character settings somehow - just one ebook in pdf format (out of three, written in Serbian) isn't shown correctly - there are unreadable signs instead of letters "ć" and "č". Is it possible to tweak it somehow in order to show it correctly?

And one more question: I switched it to Kindle OS from Duokan (Menu/Settings/Switch). Now, how to get it back to Duokan? When I turn off and turn on Kindle, I don't have dual boot anymore.
Disregard this question - I figured out I have to restart again and dual boot screen appeared Last edited by zvonchica; 01-08-2013 at 08:43 PM. |

It was set to arial already. I installed Times New Roman and YuCSwiS and tried them both, but no changes at all.
