1. - Adjusting font-weight
I still miss the possibility to use a slightly darker font for reading. I tried side-loading some Kindle fonts (the difference with normal ones is that they look nearly like semi-bold on Linux) but they just appear like normal ones on Koreader.
Is there any hope that Koreader one day implement such a feature? On my Kobo eReader.conf file (v. 2.8.1.), I can read
In Koreader, there is no default setting for font-weight that we can adjust, and, I think this kind of feature is missed to allow a comfortable reading.
2. - .lua files
Koreader creates a new .lua configuration file for each new book and puts it in a new folder on KoboeReader. Visually, it quickly takes a lot of place. Would it be possible to stack all these new .lua files in a single folder? |
The bottom Reader menu has a
B icon under which you should find both "Font Weight" and "Contrast". The Font Weight options are "regular" and "bold". As for many of the options in Koreader, if you long press on a selection you will be given the option of making that selection the default.
In the Kobo Start Menu 7 there is, under "Tools", a "koreader diverse.msh" which has a script "delete dead history entries.sh", that might meet your needs. (I have my external uSD card mounted as read/write, and the script says it doesn't try to delete those with a mnt/sd location, so I just delete them myself.)
To be able to write to and delete from your external drive, including using the File Manager's long press options for deleting files, the mnt/sd must be remounted as read/write. To do so I add this to the koreader.sh file, just before "reader.lua" is called:
#remount SD card as read/write
mount -o remount,rw /mnt/sd
Luck;
