KOReader is a document viewer application, originally created for Kindle e-ink readers. It is then ported to Kobo and Android devices and now it comes to PocketBook's world. Various PocketBook models are reported to run KOReader fine with firmware versions from 4.4, 5.2 to 5.4. We are glad to know how it runs on your device.
Main features- supports multiple document formats including PDF, DJVU, EPUB, FB2, CBZ, etc.
- with built-in k2pdfopt engine to reflow scanned PDF page on the fly
- uses StarDict dictionaries / Wikipedia to lookup words
- text/image highlights can be exported to Evernote cloud account
- supports adding custom online OPDS catalogs
- calibre integration
Installation- First, download a koreader build (zip files that begin with "koreader-pocketbook" in their filename) for PocketBook here: http://github.com/koreader/koreader/releases
- Then, unzip the downloaded koreader build to your local storage. This will generate two directories namely "applications" and "system".
- Finally, copy and merge the "applications" directory from the unzipped content to your PocketBook's USB storage.
- If you want to associate KOReader with all PDF, EPUB, DJVU, FB2, CBZ documents you could copy and merge the "system" directory from the unzipped content to your PocketBook's USB storage. (This step is optional.)
