If you'll follow my way you'll need to: 1) copy the archive's content (its 'bin' and 'share' folders) directly to your "/mnt/us/cr3xcb" folder on Kindle Touch (in case you're connected by SSH). Or just connect Kindle Touch by USB, create that "cr3xcb" folder and copy there these folders. So the final structure would look like: Quote:
There should appear a new command in the Launcher menu on Kindle Touch. Yup, it will invoke CoolReader3 But, as I said, I didn't have enough time to create that extension. So, please stay in touch. Last edited by varnie; 03-16-2012 at 07:21 AM. |

When confirmed and complete it could be a useful "Unofficial instructions for installing Kindle Touch Hacked Up Reader for epub" for those willing to try it.
Please note: these instructions are for Kindle Touch only.

Howdy.
As I promised, I implemented the simple GUI launcher. it can be obtained there: https://github.com/varnie/HackedUpReaderLauncher Simple instructions are also provided. As for libfreetype library issue I am kinda confused. I hope I didn't mess anything up. If I remember correctly, I didn't put my own built one to the Kindle file system. In any case, here's which one I have there on this moment: Quote:
And I am running 5.0.4 official firmware if it matters. So, for those who would like to attempt my approach, here are some brief instructions:
ps: I've uploaded several screenshots. Last edited by varnie; 03-16-2012 at 02:06 PM. |

Tsukasa,
what is that file's size exactly? There's a check whether the file size is less than 5 bytes, I suppose. and in that case it prints that message on the screen. |

sory for desinformation
this happens when book placed in subfolder in documents folder CR3 can see the books in subfolder but after trying open it create 0 byte file in documents folder with same name and write that error or maybe its because russian folder names, but mobi whith russian name opened normally from documents folder with CR3 we need the mess of all books in one folder( in any case, a big thanks for work, its already usable version Last edited by Tsukasa; 03-16-2012 at 04:11 PM.

Tsukasa
thanks for the info. I'll try to fix it. as for now, generally speaking, putting ebooks into subfolders doesn't work. |

Is it available to decrease the font size? below 32?
Varnie, Tsukasa, thanks a lot.
I have a question. The minimum font size is 32. Right? So, It's not available to decrease it less than 32. To me, the size is little bit big to read books. Last edited by acajac; 03-17-2012 at 12:38 AM. |

But if you only use the stock fonts, AFAIK you shouldn't have issues. |

Good day, bhaak
hmm, maybe you're right. It seems I forgot what I did :-/ I done several valuable features and bug fixes in CR3, so, if you'd like I could send you a pull request. I updated the files handling in the newer version. Now it should handle subfolders without issues. Please give it a try and write back. |

It seems to be randomly making files named after books I read which appear in the main kindle book list, any ideas why its doing this? (on the version before the subfolder update) |
