Hello mobileread community, especially those using Kindle 3.
Would anyone manage this challenge of making for the Kindle 3 (3G - UK/EU) an 'Update-style' hack (like the screensaver hack) that would allow to give an extra decimal point figure to the percentage progress number on the Kindle 3?
For example you have a book and now it shows only 25% read. You go forward 3 or 4 pages and it keeps to still show 25% read. Would you be able to make it through a hack to show 25.4% read. Then you press for the next page and it goes to say 25.6% read. It should be easy. By taking the last location indicator (i.e. the location of the last text of the page shown in the progress bar) and divide it with the number of locations on the right side. I say to use the last location at the end of each page because when you arrive to the last page you want it to get to 100%. It should also be rounded up to the first decimal place. Such as if it goes to 25.46% it should read 25.5%.
I made a screenshot and edited it with paint (:P) to show what I mean as an end result.
See Attachment picture further below.
I understand that there are some that don't want it. But that is why they can choose NOT to install this great hack to be!
Really hope that someone can manage to code this hack and make it in an Update-style installer (possibly also making an Uninstaller too...
)
It would be great. The gauntlet has been thrown.
Who will pick this challenge?! A lot of peaple would appreciate it!
