I am really impressed by the software, so kudos to the developers and all those who made this magnificent work!

There are a few minor things that don't seem to work, and since I haven't found any information about it, I thought I'd ask here before creating a bug ticket on GitHub.


Is that behavior normal for the version I have? (The latest version as I'm typing this.)

And some things that you might want to add in the future:

Thank you.
Thanks for the report.
  • Sometimes the wiki pages may not reflect the latest release considering that Koreader is still in rapid development. I updated the manual page and corrected the part you mentioned to avoid misleading.
  • The "Highlight" and "Add Note" functions are currently absent and are disabled. Probably we could write the lookuped word to Kindle's vocabulary builder.
  • "Translate" and "Share" in highlighting dialog aren't implemented neither. Since we have an HTTP request facility in Koreader now, it's relatively easy to implement a translator via "Google Translate".
  • This bug is fixed in https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/566.

In order to track bugs and feature requests more efficiently, we suggest users of Koreader report at Koreader's issue tracker as far as possible.

Feature requests:
  • This should be duplicated with https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/515. We are considering rewrite a more graphic frontlight widget like the one in native system.
  • The free zooming and panning features for PDF/DJVU document can be implemented in the future, but the priority may be relatively low. Because it needs horribly many refreshes to panning to regions of interest after manually zooming to certain levels. We provide several predefined zoom levels and the text reflowing mode to avoid this as much as possible. Please try with those options first before the free zooming is implemented.
  • I opened an issue for full text search here.
