MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Hack Request : 'Already Read This One' Indicator

knewbie · 04-01-2009, 03:19 PM

Thank you all for your suggestions, but my problem is mostly that I have no access to a computer most of the times I'm travelling. Or, at last, not willing to plug my PRS in the computer I have available (think virus encrusted crappy pc in the middle on Cambodia, for example).

Also I tend to fill a 4Gb card to the brim, and keep reading until I finished every book, and then I spend 1-2 days hunting for new books to read, fill the card to the brim...

The PRS-505 is limited in this way that I cannot manage collection ON the reader.
A nice hack would be to say that if the actual page of a book is equal to the last page, then put this other icon instead. Possible ? not sure.

Another would be to crate a collection marked "Already Read" and move the book from the reader to that collection when done. Or to be able to erase a book from the reader when I'm done. Not sure at all it is possible...
