Multi Reader Proposal
Attempting to see if it is possible to get something more out of the usb-network used in Duokan, - written some post "over there", but.. ... well...
Did also propose the following. It is basically what I had in mind with my first YoCan reader - an open source project idea, but guess I spent too much time with Duokan in the hope it would come around..
Multi Reader Proposal:
In essence, this is several different readers, joined by IPC-messages. To make some simple example:
In Windows you may open NOTEPAD and WORDPAD and you can cut/paste through a scratch-pad (IPC-messages..)
Notepad works for ascii text and Wordpad works for utf-8. In a similar way, switching between 2 book readers,
utf-8 and GB18030-2005 based for example. Code translation could be inserted into the Cut/Paste scratch pad.
In my view, Duokan-Kindle may be a valuable language tool and the dictionaries are essential. There may be added value to being able to flip between the different Notepad/Wordpad - or separate books: You may have the same
book in two different languages and alternate between the languages.
Haven't had time/resources to put it into action myself.
Note: - this could simplify Stardict usage, European-latin support and avoid some of the current conflict that probably will repeat itself for a number of other languages. ( btw. - FBReader/fbkindle may be an option )
[ - this was more of a statement that I favour Open-Source ]
