However, when I installed KPVbooklet and koreader following the instruction step by step, the epub files I put in the documents folder in Kindle were not shown in my kindle library while I can see the koreader menu in KUAL.

I have no idea which part went wrong, and the one who helped me on the jailbreak suggested me to ask about it here. Is there any possibility that koreader isn't supported on a pw3-32g?

Hey Wingsnail, after your message, I installed KOReader tonight.

You said "the epub files I put in the documents folder in Kindle were not shown in my kindle library" and " I can see the koreader menu in KUAL."

One way you can do this, is without 'KPVbooklet', using just KOReader.

It looks like the way to read epub is to do this.

Open KUAL from your kindle.

Choose the KOReader option in KUAL.

Choose the "Start the filemanager" option in KUAL.

This will launch the KOReader application, where you can read epub files.


You are correct though that KPVBooklet is not updated to support PW3-32GB.

I have updated a copy here that should work on your model. Follow the instructions here to install. https://github.com/koreader/kpvbooklet/wiki

(This package will ONLY work on Manga Model )

Is there anyone here who can put an enhancement request to KOReader to add device ID 293 and 294 ( PW3-32GB ) to the .bin files for KPVBooklet?

Spoiler:
