I have a problem with cool reader 3 on a Kindle 3. Quite probably, the answer lies somewhere in these 90 pages but, to be honest, I don't fancy reading them all given that as I pass from page to page I get tired and will probably miss what I am looking for. I will understand if the only reply I get "encourages" me to read everything but here goes.

I have installed Cool Reader 3 on my Kindle 3 following the instructions at
https://github.com/CrazyCoder/coolreader-kindle-qt where the relevant ones are

Quick Installation Guide for K3/K4NT

1 Jailbreak your Kindle
2 Copy update_cr3runner_n.n_install-k4.bin from cr3runner.zip to Kindle flash root
3 Copy all directories from cr3-kindle-nnnn-nn-nn.zip available in Downloads to Kindle flash root
(optional, but recommended) Download the latest test version as the repository snapshot zip and copy all the files from the dist folder replacing all existing files on the connected Kindle (this way you update to the most recent version with all the latest changes)
4 From the Kindle Settings dialog open menu, run Update Your Kindle
5 After reboot you should have Cool Reader in the documents list, open it.

I actually copied in step 2 the update for Kindle 3

update_cr3runner_2.7_k3gb_install.bin

and everything went perfectly until step 5 when I opened Cool Reader and got a blank screen. This has happened several times and I have not yet managed to get the program to work.

I downloaded the extension for KUAL but that just threw me back to the document list (I mean that I have KUAL and Cool Reader in a collection called Kindle Hacks and this is where the selection of Cool Reader from the KUAL menu sent me).

Does anyone have any advice or help to offer, please.
