Alternative to Koreader?

kutusov · 07-03-2021, 12:10 PM

I basically wanted something just like the stock reader but with justified text. Having it aligning left is sort of driving me nuts

I din't like Koreader all that much, felt it a bit too sluggish.

I forgot about aligning to the left and no way to change it. It's weird that PocketBook doesn't "fix" this. Are these mostly DRM or non-DRM books? It's pretty easy to convert ePubs to justified in Calibre, if the book is not locked by DRM. I did this quite a bit for my older Sonys.

@kutusov,
In KOReader try changing screen dpi to lower value as well as turn off autosuspend. See if this helps. There was a discussion in the respective KOReader on Pocketbook thread some time ago

Thanks guys and sorry for replying late, I'm yet to figure out how to receive email alerts to new posts...

@rcentros, they are DRM free and I'll take a look at Calibre. I do use it but I'm pretty new to this ereader thing.

@mergen3107 thanks for the tip

Yep, this done the trick. I took the chance to also optimize all the books to Inkpad 3 and now everything is just perrrrfect!
