Hi ixtab,

I've just extracred the ReadingTimer plugin from the KPW firmware.
It's still located in /opt/amazon/ebook/lib/ and has the same name (ReadingTimer.jar), has a few more localization files and it's about 64kb (against the KT version which is about 20kb).

I would like to see if it works as-is on KT with firmware 5.1.2 but I would prefer to leave the old files in place, untouched and unrenamed.

My Java knowledge is really poor so please don't blame me if I'm asking something obvious. Would it be possible to copy those classes somewhere else and load them from there (via the PluginConfig.xml file)? And, if yes, how?

Edit: I couldn't resist. I renamed old files and placed new ones in the same dir. It looks like the plugin isn't loaded. Reverting bak to original right now. It looks like someone more skilled than me is needed to find if a workaround is possible...
