1) android 10 tablet
2) a jailbroken paperwhite running koreader
if so, how?
and which presenter did you get?
my laziness thanks you in advance.  |
In both cases the answer is the same:
Bluetooth human interface devices (HID) are supported by the platform/OS, not by specific programs.
Bluetooh HID are just "limited keyboards" that emit a key event with a given key code. For platforms that support Bluetooth HID, like android, it doesn't matter the key codes it emits, because KOReader has extensive support for
key mappings
You just need to know which key codes are generated by your device. For the specific case of android see
this comment. On other platforms it is easier as there're easier ways to retrieve logs.
About Kindles, Pocketbooks... Even if the platform has support for bluetooth devices and some devices do work on the stock reader there's no other answer than try it yourself. As these kind of embedded devices might not follow standards.
