so i have formatted (from fabric it and upgrade it. to firmware version:4.1.4 the last one)
in the past it was not stable, because smetimes it starts again without any commad!
now i have see onkindle with operative sistem is so poor of function.
duokan is better for example for the carachter, dimension, and kind of ebook that it can be read.

I don't know anything about duokan except that the experts here say to stay away from it because of all the problems it causes.

But what you have is a kindle 4.

Don't use Duokan, use KOReader via MRPI.

How well do you think KOReader would work without a touch screen?

I've used it, it works really well... but changing reader settings takes FOREVER though. I have to wait, like, 15 seconds or something for even the smallest change.

That's somewhat unrelated to the touchscreen issue, though; it's mostly because that's how CRe works, especially on underpowered devices .

And as far as the touch screen is concerned, yeah, most stuff basically works on non-touch devices (barring some corner-cases or complex Plugins here and there).

new info.
hello to all i have now a kindle 5 with mod.
i put on it this:
K4(xKindle_2014-06-12.36013.rtm)

it works fine now and appear to be stable ...not like other, version, when i buy it from a man (not new).
but i do not remebmber the old duokan on it, in the past.
now hte new duokan is similar but more simple...and i think may have little feature the other.
but i'm looking for a epub reader version of duokan....

The forums here are not a good place to get information about duokan.

Plus, Duokan hasn't been updated in ages (at least the version that runs on Kindle). It was bought by Xiaomi, and they quickly cut off support for all but their own dedicated e-Readers (with Duokan being used as the firmware for them).
