After testing both over the last days I prefer using Sergey's Coolreader, even though it has no dictionary function yet. It is much more flexible, it works with KUAL, and I have installed it on my three readers (PW2, Aura HD and PB623) and it works the same on all 3 which for me is a huge advantage. Plus I don't like the way Duokan wants me to migrate my account (for the mail to kindle function) to a bookstore. It seems to be not about hacking and enabling kindles to be used in chinese anymore but about profit, and if they think they are going to earn money with me (or anyone) based on the work that our dev team did, then I'd rather pass on the whole experience thank you very much.

This means they use "dictd" format instead of "stardict" format which they used before.
This tool may be used to convert any dictionary from other formats including stardict into dictd: https://github.com/soshial/xdxf_makedict (feedback is needed here ) Last edited by thomass; 12-27-2013 at 05:13 AM. |

Just had to extract it , yes the way it enable dictionaries is not good as kindle do, duokan open all the dictionaries in many pages. I see if I open a pdf with chinese in duokan the dictionary works on the wrong line. I have still this unanswered question: OT. Since I have the new PW2 JB I want to prevent Amazon to upgrade my firmware, have I to install the loophole hack to prevent this even on this version ? Thanks!! |

Hey guys, I want to give the PW2 duokan a go, but scared to not brick the device, seeing no install procedure I can understand. I have downloaded the 2013-12-27 version, currently newest on their site, but how to install it?
1. Copy DK_System to root of the PW 2. Copy the awesomely named bin file from KindlePaperwhite_something folder to the root of PW (?) 3. ? I'm afraid to experiment with it Thanks |

Thanks thomass, works, great after the slight battle to get it (mostly) in english. Having some cyrillic quirks, but so far so good

Hi guys
Ive just updated my kindle 4nt to latest duokan (2014-01-03), and my fonts are not smoothed, they look quite blocky. This already happened in the past with previous versions. The fonts look ok in menus, system etc, its just when i read book. I guess they have broken something... Cheers |

Yes the stardict dicts work on Duokan, but they are arranged very unfriendly if you have many dicts the results of a word are showed with many dicts and you have to turn a lot of pages to find the more suitable translation.
It seems you can NOT select only one dictionary in accord of the book you are reading, as you are doing in the kindle original firmware. I don't know if i am expaining the problem well and if there is a better solution to manage dicts on Duokan Last edited by readreadread; 01-13-2014 at 12:49 PM. |

I maybe miss something, but when using Epub, there's no proper justification.
I loaded up my (french) Epub in Calibre, checked the "justify" box for text, and converted it (epub to epub, just to enable justification). When read in Calibre, the text was indeed fully justified (it wasn't before). I loaded the same epub in my kindle, and the text wasnt justified. Well, it kinda was, but as they were no word split at all, it only very partially was. Then I converted to Mobi (with the same "justify" box checked), then opened it up in my kindle, and there it was perfect ! Could it be because I miss the french dictionnary (so Duokan doesn't know where to split words) ? But then, why would Moby work properly ? Thanks for the help Last edited by geoslake; 01-21-2014 at 02:16 AM. |
