The so-called "lite" version usually referred to one that could be launched with launchpad. This one seems to be chosen at boot up... so what is the difference with classic Duokan?

I picked up a latest generation Kindle DX on ebay a couple of days ago. Waiting for it to be delivered. I have a lot of books in epub and pdf books that I used to view on my Sony e-reader.
What I'm trying to figure out now is what software to run to view epubs and get better PDF functionality. Looks like Duokan is the answer to my search. However, I'm still trying to understand what I'm looking at here. What is the difference between Duokan and Duokan lite? Is Duokan Lite just the latest version of Duokan? Lite is the recommended version then? Will it work on my Kindle DX? Does anybody have some good screenshots of technical PDF documents and how they look on Duokan? Thanks for all your help. |

unfortunately you can't use Duokan lite (the latest version). It is only for kindle 3 now.
The last version of Duokan you can use can be found here. http://flip.netzbeben.de/2010/11/duo...ish-gui-today/ PDFs look slightly worse than the original kindle firmware. But it has enhanced abilities like, reading TOCs, half-page or quarter-page views, full-screen mode, adjusting the level of black, manual zoom etc. |

Gave it a spin last night - I must say that I didn't have very high expectations, but Duokan Lite is surprisingly rather damn good. It's a lot faster in regards to UI actions, page turns are near instant and it has some basic options that the vanilla firmware is missing (i.e date config, easy font addition and switching).
Some of the UI is too cramped for the translated strings, other areas have a few grammatical errors or arnt translated at all. The EPUB/reader seems to reformat things a bit too much, but it's largely usable. The progress bar being in the lowest visible pixels is somewhat of a strange choice. I'd love to play around with some of the code - but it seems to be a commercial venture and I'm not seeing a public repo (which is odd, I assume there's at least some of the kindle gpl infested stuff in there - but perhaps not). But for now they seem to be working quickly and in the right direction. In all - I'll be keeping a close eye on it |
