I got my Hands on an old and not so good(for various reasons) color reader for my kid. Pocketbook Color Lux PB801
I was not particularly satisfied with the integrated reading programs, so I tried cool reader, which was amazingly fast but lacked color support und has no device support since 7 yrs.

So I tried koreader v2024.11
But after I copied the application completely to the reader and adjusted the extensions.cfg to open epubs with koreader directly, the application crashed on startup. Here is an excerpt from the crash.log

Spoiler:

 It's a scroll... It's a codex... It's KOReader!

Uh oh, something went awry... (Crash n°5: 08/15/33 @ 08:52:59)
Too many consecutive crashes, aborting . . .

I think that the model is recognized correctly, but my programming and lua skills are not ready for this^^

The color lux was certainly not the favorite child of the ereader scene, but I would appreciate any support.
