			<title>Making the Nook a KOReader-first device</title>

			<description><![CDATA[I recently bought Nook Glowlight 4 Plus refurbished off Amazon and tinkered with getting KOReader on it.

I have no interest in using the Barnes and Noble software, so I thought it would be fun to throw some tokens at an idea I had that could make the Nook a "KOReader first" device.

Here is what I have done so far.

* An Android helper application and KOReader plugin that lets you join WI-Fii networks
* A new launcher that only opens KOReader. If KOReader crashes three times in a row, then the launcher takes you to a debug screen to open another launcher. Pressing the home button 3 times will also take you to the debug screen.
* A userpatch to rename the Exit option to "Restart KOReader". This patch also makes sure that KOReader reopens when you exit it.


Things I still want to add:

* Bluetooth control. Either a plugin that can let you pair devices right in KOReader or take you to the Android Bluetooth settings page.
* Some way to open the Barnes and Noble Nook launcher without needing to go into the recovery screen of the new launcher.


Anything else that would be useful for this little project?]]></description>

			<title>hotspot.koplugin: turn e-reader into a Wi-Fi AP (Kobo now; other next)</title>
			<link>https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=376001&amp;goto=newpost</link>

			<description><![CDATA[*hotspot.koplugin: your e-reader as a Wi-Fi access point*

Hi all,

*hotspot.koplugin* is a small KOReader plugin that makes the e-reader broadcast its own Wi-Fi network: hostapd runs the access point, BusyBox udhcpd hands out addresses. It does not share an internet connection. The point is to connect a phone, a laptop or another stock ereader directly to the reader when there's no router around and move books over that link.

The plugin was written by *thorondir* (thorondir/hotspot.koplugin (https://github.com/thorondir/hotspot.koplugin)) for the Kobo Clara 2E. My fork (https://github.com/pittix/hotspot.koplugin) adds the MediaTek Kobos and a research report on other brands. 
I can't extend the supported devices by myself, and I'd love your contribution if possible :iloveyou:

*What it does*
* Broadcasts an AP with configurable SSID, channel and optional WPA2 password
* The reader gets 192.168.42.1, clients get DHCP leases in 192.168.42.10-100
* Menu: Settings -> Network -> Wi-Fi hotspot
* Built for 1-2 clients at a time


My idea was to pair it with *filesync.koplugin* by *abrahamnm* (abrahamnm/filesync.koplugin (https://github.com/abrahamnm/filesync.koplugin)), or any quick-share alternative that may require a wifi connection.
In my case, the workflow to share the ebooks from my device is that another device joins the reader's hotspot, open filesync URL in their browser, browse and download books. 
I'm also working on a plain, e-ink-friendly filesync page so that another e-reader's browser can use it. That's only a branch on my fork for now (feat/eink-mode (https://github.com/pittix/filesync.koplugin/tree/feat/eink-mode)), and the upstream PR is still to come. Hotspot + filesync together hasn't been tested end to end on more devices yet, so reports on that are welcome too.

*Current status*
* *Kobo Clara 2E* (Marvell/NXP moal, AP on uap0): tested
* *Kobo Libra Colour* (MediaTek wlan_drv_gen4m, AP on ap0): tested (FW 4.46.23836, KOReader v2026.07.2)
* *Kobo Clara BW / Clara Colour*: *untested*, same MediaTek driver as the Libra Colour, so it should work
* *Other Kobos*: the plugin says the Wi-Fi chip isn't supported yet. Tell me your WIFI_MODULE (see below)
* *Kindle, PocketBook, reMarkable, others*: not supported yet. A desk-research report covers which ones look feasible: report (https://github.com/pittix/hotspot.koplugin/blob/other-models/docs/other-ereaders-report.md)


*What the research says about other devices*
* *Kindle with MediaTek Wi-Fi* (PW5/PW5 SE, Basic 2022/2024, PW6, Scribe 1/2, Colorsoft): *most promising*. A MediaTek Kindle dump shows the same Wi-Fi modules as the Libra Colour (wmt_drv / wmt_chrdev_wifi / wlan_drv_gen4m), kernel 4.9, and KOReader runs as root there. What's missing is Kindle glue: take Wi-Fi over from Amazon's wifid, open the firewall, keep the screensaver off.
* *Kindle Voyage* (Atheros AR6003): *already done by someone else!* *unrealJune*'s kindshare runs hostapd + busybox udhcpd as a SoftAP on a Voyage (FW 5.13.6) with the stock ath6kl driver. See the credits below.
* *Kindle PW2 / PW3 / Basic 7th* (Atheros): depends on whether your firmware loads ath6kl (like the Voyage) or Amazon's older ar6003/ar6000 driver. One lsmod line tells us which.
* *Kindle Basic 8th gen, PW4, Basic 10th, Oasis 2/3* (Broadcom BCM4343W): likely. The Basic 8th gen uses bcmdhd with cfg80211, the usual AP setup for that chip. The others are probably the same, unconfirmed.
* *PocketBook B288 devices* (Touch Lux 4/5, InkPad 3, Touch HD 3, Color, InkPad X, ...): likely *if rooted*. PocketBook's published kernel has cfg80211/mac80211 and an XRadio driver that should be able to do AP. Without root, KOReader can't start hostapd.
* *PocketBook B300* (newest models): unknown, the Wi-Fi driver hasn't been identified.
* *reMarkable 1/2*: likely (brcmfmac, root over SSH).
* *Cervantes, Bookeen, older Kindles/PocketBooks, Sony PRS-T*: possible with a lot of work, or unlikely.
* *Android readers (Boox etc.)*: out of scope, they already have a system hotspot.

Nothing outside Kobo has been tried on a device yet, and that's where you may come in.

*How you can help*

*1. Kobo owners: try it*
Especially Clara BW, Clara Colour, and Tolinos running the Kobo build of KOReader on MediaTek hardware.
1. Download the main branch zip (https://github.com/pittix/hotspot.koplugin/archive/refs/heads/main.zip), rename the extracted folder to *hotspot.koplugin*, copy it to .adds/koreader/plugins/
2. Restart KOReader, open Settings -> Network -> Wi-Fi hotspot, set a password, enable it
3. Join from your phone, check you get a 192.168.42.x address, then try filesync or SSH on 192.168.42.1
4. Post your model, firmware, KOReader version, whether it worked, and any message the plugin showed. Feel free to commit to the github repo as well :D

On MediaTek Kobos the chip can't be a client and an AP at the same time, so the plugin turns normal Wi-Fi off first (it asks before doing so). Keep the reader awake while you use it: KOReader turns Wi-Fi off on sleep, and that stops the hotspot too.
If your Kobo says "not supported", post the output of echo $WIFI_MODULE (from KOReader's terminal) together with the check in step 2.

*2. Everyone else (Kindle, PocketBook, reMarkable, Cervantes, Bookeen, unsupported Kobos): run a read-only check*
These commands only read information; they change nothing. Run them as root (KOReader's terminal or SSH; on a rooted PocketBook, through su) and paste the output inside CODE tags (the # button in the editor).

Code:
---------
uname -a
grep -E 'Hardware|Features' /proc/cpuinfo
lsmod
ls /sys/class/net/ /sys/class/ieee80211/
for d in /sys/class/net/*/device/driver; do echo "$d -> $(readlink -f $d)"; done
zcat /proc/config.gz 2>/dev/null | grep -E 'CFG80211|NL80211|WIRELESS_EXT|NETFILTER'
for b in iw ip ifconfig iwconfig hostapd udhcpd iptables busybox; do printf '%s: ' $b; which $b || echo missing; done
iw list 2>/dev/null | sed -n '/Supported interface modes/,/Supported commands/p'
iw list 2>/dev/null | grep -A6 'interface combinations'
---------
Extra lines for some platforms:

Code:
---------
# Kindle (any model)
status wifid; status wmt; ls -l /dev/wmtWifi 2>/dev/null; iptables-save
# Kindle with Broadcom (Basic 8th/10th, PW4, Oasis)
for p in /sys/module/*dhd*/parameters/*; do echo "$p: $(cat $p)"; done
# PocketBook
id; ls -l /mnt/secure/su; ps | grep -Ei '[n]etagent|[w]pa_'
---------
Please remove anything personal before posting (MAC addresses, network names, serial numbers). These commands shouldn't print any, but check anyway.

*3. MediaTek Kindle owners who want to go one step further (optional, at your own risk)*
This single test would tell us whether the Kindle port can reuse the Libra Colour code. It switches the Wi-Fi chip to AP mode the way the plugin does on Kobo, and checks whether an ap0 interface appears. Wi-Fi is off during the test. On Kobo, doing this while MediaTek's firmware daemons aren't running reboots the device, so the first line checks for them. If it prints nothing, stop there.

Code:
---------
ps | grep -i '[w]mt'      # expect wmt_launcher / wmt_loader; stop here if empty
lipc-set-prop com.lab126.cmd wirelessEnable 0; sleep 3; stop wifid
echo A > /dev/wmtWifi; sleep 3; ls /sys/class/net; dmesg | tail -40
# restore
echo 0 > /dev/wmtWifi; start wifid; lipc-set-prop com.lab126.cmd wirelessEnable 1
---------

This single test would tell us whether the Kindle port can reuse the Libra Colour code. It switches the Wi-Fi chip to AP mode the way the plugin does on Kobo, and checks whether an <i>ap0</i> interface appears. Wi-Fi is off during the test. On Kobo, doing this while MediaTek's firmware daemons aren't running reboots the device, so the first line checks for them. If it prints nothing, stop there.<br />

			<description><![CDATA[This is mostly a bugfix update. Thanks to everybody submitting bug reports! Also, I added automatic theme switching and optional eye-rest reminders.

Android status: Live
iOS status: Awaiting Apple Approval

*  Added automatic theme switching by time of day or sunrise and sunset.
*  Added optional 20-20-20 eye-rest reminders while reading.
*  Simplified and reorganized the reader settings.
*  Simplified library maintenance to show one repair action per issue group, with improved progress feedback and faster file repairs.
*  Fixed crashes when opening bookmark and settings popups on iOS.
*  Fixed synchronization timing issues that could prevent reading positions from syncing correctly.
*  Fixed background synchronization failures leaving unhandled asynchronous errors.
*  Fixed a crash when a library refresh was cancelled by another refresh or navigation.
*  Fixed database connection handling during upgrades to avoid app freezes.
*  Fixed errors when formatting reading statistics and lookup counts in some languages.
*  Fixed a possible crash when logging into a Calibre server with an empty username.
*  Fixed Calibre error messages for missing files, denied access, timeouts and connection problems.
*  Fixed errors when opening remote catalogs after saving a sort order that only applies to the local library.
*  Fixed errors caused by oversized database queries when loading large batches of books.
*  Fixed generated book filenames and folders exceeding filesystem limits.
*  Fixed 'Continue reading' failing when the book was already on the shelf.
*  Fixed cancelling the library folder picker unnecessarily starting a library move.
*  Fixed slow loading (and sometimes timeouts) when browsing large OneDrive libraries.
*  Fixed WebDAV folders and filenames containing # being truncated in requests.
*  Fixed a missing translated message when existing files could not be added during a library storage scan or move.
*  Fixed error message for backups that are missing the main database.
*  Fixed opening books with malformed HTML attribute values.
*  Fixed a crash when opening certain Markdown files and Markdown-formatted TXTZ books.
*  Fixed storage location using the wrong id field for the {id} template (and added {calibre_id}).
*  Fixed an issue where library maintenance and relocation repeatedly renamed books with numbered filenames.
*  Fixed a mislabeled 'Manual source' entry in the source filter in the search popup (it was called 'Local books' -- very confusing).
*  Fixed dictionary/AI lookups not appearing if the screen was too small, with scrollable results and a back button when space is limited.
*  Fixed the book deletion popup closing when tapping outside it.
*  Fixed an issue that could prevent connecting to Google Drive.

			<title>OpenInkPot 20120301 for the Hanlin V3ext / BeBook One – rebuilt image, tested</title>
			<link>https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=375996&amp;goto=newpost</link>
			<pubDate>Fri, 30 Oct 2026 16:46:28 GMT</pubDate>
			<description><![CDATA[Hi all,

I recently brought an old Hanlin V3 back to life and wanted OpenInkPot on it, ideally the last daily build of 1 March 2012. The catch: only the image for the original V3 (64 MB) survives on the Wayback Machine. The V3ext image from that day was never archived. Flashing the V3 image on a V3ext gives you a white screen. The kernel boots, but it looks for the root filesystem in the wrong place.

So I rebuilt the missing image. OpenInkPot's own build script treats v3 and v3ext identically except for the kernel flavour, the JFFS2 eraseblock size and one version file. The rebuild therefore takes the 2012 V3 userspace and swaps in the V3ext kernel and modules from the archived V3ext daily of 2010-06-12. That is the same kernel package version, 2.6.29-39. It runs fine on my device.

I also fixed two small annoyances:
* Settings &#8594; Screen update now works. It was hardcoded to the N516 framebuffer.
* In FBReader the page keys now work in landscape mode, for the default 270° rotation.


Download, flashing instructions and the reproducible build script:
https://github.com/Forger7/hanlin-v3ext-openinkpot

Flashing works the usual way:
1. Put V3update.bin on a FAT16 SD card of at most 1 GB.
2. Hold "+" while switching on, release it after the beep.


Note that the internal storage gets reformatted. This image is for the *V3ext* only, which shows about 450–500 MB of internal storage over USB. It is not for the old 9 MB V3.

All credit goes to the OpenInkPot team, all of the software is theirs. I only put the pieces back together.]]></description>

The screen wouldn't come on, so she just plugged it in.  This morning, I picked it up and it was actually off instead of Sleeping.  Powered it on and it greeted me with the "choose your language" screen and went on from there.  After it finished the setup and I used Calibre to remove the unwanted Previews and Recommendations it stuck on there, I copied all her books and reading positions back from Calibre.  She only lost last night's reading position.
