KOreader stuff

TheSmitty · 03-24-2025, 04:21 PM

So I saw a post on Reddit, Kindle reddit no less, of someone who jailbroke their kindle and put KOreader on it. Screen shots show his library of books using covers and a nice monthly calendar showing books he read on the days and a little graphic of I guess the amount of time.

I have KOReader on my Kobo and have never seen this type of stuff. I clearly am missing out on stuff! Any ideas how/where to get KOreader to do these things?

Looking at recent posts, the book covers are (most likely) using the Cover Browser plugin, which comes with Koreader. You can enable it in the Tools menu > More Tools > Plugin management > Cover browser.

The calendar view is probably Tools menu > Reading statistics > Reading progress.

The Cover browser should be enabled by default (but still good idea to check). The display mode also needs to be set to "Mosaic with cover images". It can be set separately for the File browser and the History view. Open File browser (the file cabinet icon), then again the file cabinet icon in the top menu, then set the Display mode to Mosaic with cover images (and also for History and Collections, or just select to use it everywhere).

The calendar view is under Tools menu -> Reading statistics -> Calendar view. (Reading progress just shows daily bars for the past 7 days and not by book.)

I found those settings. I updated first but not sure if that mattered. Thank you guys.
