new kindle, new start - i decided to have another go at getting cr3runner working, and this time it does

think i'll be using it instead of kite, to avoid kite's funny glitches on k4 like running everything at boot.

had a look at this (russian) guide, and got the gist of what it wanted, basically:

Code:

mntroot rw
vi /mnt/main/opt/amazon/ebook/security/external.policy

then add these lines at the bottom of the file:

Code:

grant {
  permission java.io.FilePermission "/mnt/us/qtKindle/-", "read,execute";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "/mnt/us/cr3runner/-", "read,write,execute";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "/mnt/us/cr3/-", "read,execute";
};

then of course don't forget:

Code:

mntroot ro

files you should have:
cr3runner-26.azw2 in /mnt/us/documents
commands.txt in /mnt/us/cr3runner
(and all the actual coolreader stuff in /mnt/us/cr3 etc)

i started putting my other script files for running native things in the cr3runner directory just for tidiness, then discovered it was probably the best place anyway so i didn't need to set further permissions.
