Qindle A Qt embedded port for Amazon Kindle
A project is aimed at porting a Qt embedded framework to Amazon Kindle DX, and porting other useful applications to this framework.
It contains a viewer that can open
PDF,
DJVU,
EPUB and
CHM files, which makes this framework somewhat useful :-)
Installation:
""""""""""""""
This version doesn't need installation and won't affect the system. Just follow these steps:
- Have usbNetwork installed.
- Download qindle package.
- Extract into Kindle's flash drive.
That's all.
Usage:
"""""""""
Qindle is started by executing `usbNetwork twice (the first time usbnetwork starts normally).
PHP Code:
;debugOn
`usbNetwork
`usbNetwork
You can return to the original system by selecting File--Quit.
There is no need to explain how to operate.
Hint: Imagine you have a computer without mouse. Use shortcut and Tab key wisely.
Key Binding:
""""""""""""""""
Some keys on Kindle have new functions.
- Vol- --> Tab
- Vol+ --> shift-Tab
- menu --> pop-up menu
- back --> Esc
- Aa --> Ctrl
- SYM --> Windows key
Download:
""""""""""""""
http://code.google.com/p/qindle/downloads/list
Source Code:
"""""""""""""""""
It's under GPL 3.0 and available on SVN:
PHP Code:
svn checkout http://qindle.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ qindle-read-only
The Good:
"""""""""""""
1- You can install it in easy way: just copy extracted files on the root of Kindle storage.
2- Uninstallation is the same ease: just delete "
local" folder and "
usbnetwork" file from "
usbnet" folder.
3- You will have a text editor, web browser. Vertual terminal (Command-line) and more.
4- Unicode filenames support.
The Bad:
"""""""""""
1- It still slower than original framework.
2- Can not use [AA] and [SYM] keys, so you can't write symbols like "@, -, +, (, ) ..etc"
3- I run it by executing
usbnetwork command from SSH/Telnet, it isn't work with me by above way (by Kindle search commands).
It uses an old version of
USBNetwork hack which I don't know which one is it.
