but seems the default gui is chinese, anyone know how to switch it to English?

cheers

I got chinese too :D :D
And damn, I suck at chinese :D :D

Hmm during reboot I get a page in chinese and then my kindle goes back to the normal kindle version. Looks like it did not work as expected :(

The 1st pages seems to show Q and W as specific keys. Could it be to turn duokan on/off? :)

I assume that you are telling us how to set the language to English, yes?

Could you please explain it so that the slower amongst us can understand?

Also, with this new English version, will I get a boot screen after install, so that I can use the default Kindle software after Duokan install.

Edit: I just saw your last post -- is Q or W Duokan?

Your help is much appreciated!

means go to the setting screen (which you can now access by pressing the space bar) then got to page 3, choose the D line then from there choose the C option.

not sure what your 2nd question means?

Hi Avidworm,

We are writing at the same time. I was wondering, at start up, which letter (Q or W) gets me into Duokan.

Nevermind

Rinzwind and Avidworm, you are the men! I'm getting up my nerve to take the plunge. First, I have to go for my run...

Thanks.

avidworm:

Text shown "conectting".

That should be "connecting" ;)

2 problems:
1. I can not get wifi to connect to my router.
2. How do I get books back that are on my kindle. My main menu is empty.

montalex 11-06-2010 01:02 PM

So, we have:

How to install the system:
1. Extract DK_System, DK_Documents and DK_Pictures to the Kindle root directory.
If you have a previously installed version of Duokan installed, replace DK_System with the new DK_System folder;
Then continue with these steps).

2. If your Kindle2 is an international version, "Update_DK_k2i.bin" file to the Kindle root directory (Note: here is a copy of the appropriate File, not the whole folder. Bin files are identified in English in their respective folders).
If your Kindle2 is a U.S. version, copy "Update_DK_k2.bin" file to the Kindle root directory

Unplug Kindle from U.S.B. and Update: Menu/settings/menu/update

For Kindle 3:

Restart. Select Q to boot into Duokan.
