idiom6 · 05-28-2025, 07:06 PM

I tried downloading a fresh copy of Koreader to install and it turned out I originally installed the wrong version of Koreader (installed koreader-kindle-v2025.04.zip instead of koreader-kindlepw2-v2025.04.zip for my Kindle Voyage).

I had a swipe shortcut to pull up the notepad function but it no longer recognized where the folder or notefile was, even after setting the new moved location. Reinstalling Koreader did not fix this.

I also seem to be generating errors every time I've exited Koreader during my attempts to troubleshoot and reinstall - exiting Koreader now takes me right to the Kindle menu, sometimes into the 'swipe to unlock' screen.

Error involves:

Code:

./luajit: frontend/device/kindle/device.lua:1818: module 'ffi/input' not found:

and then a couple pages of "No file [long filenames]"

I don't want to lose progress in the book I was taking notes on, nor do I want to redo the jailbreak, but I'm looking at a factory reset as my only option. Please advise.
