micione20 · 09-03-2015, 03:19 AM

Also is it possible to read full screen? Without (or almost) margins? This is most important to me

eschwartz · 09-03-2015, 04:26 AM

I believe KOReader has that option, yes.

Didn't want to continue talking about Duokan, but if you're desperately needing it and can't do hardware-jb: I remember there was a post explaining how to strip Duokan down and run its reader just as an app inside Kindle without installing the whole crap. I'm sure, because I have it on mine (not installed!) but never use it as I have KPV/KOReader which works wonders for me. You gotta search a bit, and you'll find it.

That still requires a hardware jailbreak to inject. Can't run non-Amazon-approved code without a jailbreak.

i don t seek for duokan desperately. i seek for a customizable reader.
so i would love to install koreader , kual, mickey mouse , or minnie reader.

i dont mind whatever , if this disturb you, about duokan.

but i ve read i just to open kindle, solder on motherboard,
and i m not able to do this.

so i will go through kobo and bye to our love story with amazon

It seems a bit strange to buy a Kindle if you want to read ePub books. As you suggest, buying a Kobo or another ePub device would perhaps be a more sensible choice if that's what your requirements are.

For those who want to try Duokan on the PW3, do not bother, the installation software does not recognize the PW3 and aborts the installation. Koreader on the other hand works just fine on the PW3....

Plus you can use Calibre very easy to convert EPUB to MOBI....

That's because KOReader is community-minded and cooperates with the MobileRead jailbreaking efforts.

Whereas Duokan rips off our jailbreak, and assumes it will install the jailbreak as well.
They don't provide a method of working with a serial jailbreak, like we do here.

Hello everyone,
Just tried to install Duokan (2012 then lite 2014? anyway, this one:duokan xKindle_2014-09-11.36203.rtm ) on a jailbreaked K3W with firmware 3.4 (was done a long time ago don't exactly remember what I did then), but anyway this is how I installed it:
-- copy the DK_System folder to /mnt/us
-- log in to ssh
-- cd /mnt/us/DK_System/install ; sh DuoKanInstall.sh

Actually the first time I did it with Duokan 2012 (is it? _K3_2012-10-26.16987.rtm.rtm.zip), but uninstalled it because when I tried it it didn't display correctly my vertical epubs (** might have been a settings problem)

It works like a charm, many many very good features that are not present anywhere, one of them being the correct rendering of CJK vertical text on epubs.

Some remarks:
-- OTF and type1 fonts don't work at all. CJK ttf fonts work, not all of them and I haven't been able to figure out why. If anybody knows. For instance, msmincho.ttc obviously works, but for instance AozoraMinchoLight.ttf doesn't (avaiable here: http://blueskis.wktk.so/AozoraMincho/index.html) It _does_ work though if I export them to type1 forcing the encoding to unicode, them opening the type1 in fontforge, making sure that the unicode encoding is good, and generating a truetype (no otf).

-- the miniftpd server is nice, but i'd like to make my own emailing system (done that on an old kobo), and also to use ssh, but for that I need duokan to update the library, right now can only do that with a reboot (dbus-send --system /default com.lab126.powerd.resuming int32:1 doesn't seem to work). Anybody knows?

-- the vertical glyphs (GSUB table, for instance u3002 -> u3002.vert) aren't displayed correctly as far as I can tell. Before hacking and making fonts with vertical glyphs instead of horizontal ones, does anyone know if there is a better way?

-- to test a vertical epub, I'd recommend this one:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/att...9&d=1370779912

Thank you for everything!

PS: I'd be more than happy to use CoolReader/FBReader/whatever but I'm almost sure CJK support is not as good, and unfortunately I need it................................

PS: Does anyone know how to change the ugly TTS and add new ones? (not the stardict-only hack) but it is at all possible??
