****************COMPATIBILITY****************
The actual version (V2.3) works on Kindle Touch 5.3.2 and following (not previous) firmwares.
As regards Paperwhite, Komic doesn't support it OTB.
SHORT VERSION:
KOMIC V2.1 (AND PREVIOUS) ==> KINDLE TOUCH 5.1.2 AND PREVIOUS
KOMIC V2.2 (AND FOLLOWING) ==> KINDLE TOUCH 5.3.2 (AND FOLLOWING)
***************************************
****************README****************
This WAF is made to be integrated with KUAL.
You need to jailbreak your Kindle and to install KUAL.
If anyone wants to work on it and make it better, just post the results here for everyone.
Old versions can be found
here.
I'm not responsible for bricks (I even don't know how they can happen, this WAF is safe), file deletions (once again, really unlikely) or any other problem.
***************************************
************HOW TO INSTALL************
1. Plug your Kindle to your computer
2. Copy update_komic_*.install.bin directly onto the Kindle device
(i.e., not into any sub-directory)
3. Restart your Kindle using Menu > Settings, Menu > Update.
Please note that upgrading to a new version will keep your bookmarks and your
Gallery folder (except when updating to V2.3).
On the other hand, uninstalling will delete all
Komic folder and
Komic folder.
**************************************
************WELCOME PACK*************
When installing or upgrading Komic from V2.2 on, you'll find a small
=README= folder inside the Gallery folder.
Open it with Komic to see a short changelog and a few infos on how to use Komic.
You can delete it!
************************************
************STILL TO DO*************
- bring back pinch-to-zoom
- handle HOME button (in V2.3 you need to tap CLOSE on the alert when exiting Komic)
************************************
FOR EVERYTHING ELSE, USE THE HELP PAGE INSIDE KOMIC
IT TOOK A WHILE TO WRITE IT DOWN IN ITALIAN/ENGLISH, SO PLEASE USE IT!!
