koreader (STABLE) hard to exit on PW1 (5.6.1.1) to KUAL2.7

[cryptocoryne]

When I tap the home icon in koreader, the screen gets a little messed up but if you tap in the right spots the KUAL menu buttons still work.

Is KUAL required for koreader to work? Is there a way to launch koreader from the Amazon book browsing UI, like you can do with coolreader?

It could be I messed something up installing KUAL or jailbreaking.... My PW1 was on 5.6.1.1 when I got it. I downgraded to 5.3.X, did the instructions to jailbreak 5.3.X, installed KUAL, koreader, coolreader, then upgraded to back 5.6.1.1 using the bin file from Amazon.

I prefer koreader to the built-in reader b/c I can use the big OED dictionary which has loads of fun etymologies.

You need to reinstall KUAL and any other hacks after upgrading.

I had this problem before upgrading. Upgrading 5.3.X to 5.6.1.1 didn't seem to make any difference. But ok, I'll try reinstalling KUAL, the gawk extension, and koreader.

OK, reinstalling doesn't make any difference.
I also upgraded to this nightly koreader.

What happens is that the koreader screen is not erased when I exit, but the KUAL menu is still usable. Touching a KUAL menu rectangle makes it appear and either quitting KUAL or launching another app cleans up the screen.

Oh well, I can put up with this slight annoyance. Bettter (custom) dictionary, epub, pdf, djvu is worth it.

Can you share the links to better dictionaries please! I really like koreader but can't find dictionaries that are better than what Amazon provides, especially non-English.

Thanks!

Use KPVbooklet. It will launch koreader for most formats except mobi and txt.
