P/S : I can't change down/up selection on setting... Example : Text font, interline spacing (%), Min space width (%), paper margin ... because not virtual keyboard appear. Hope CrazyCoder release a new update soon. How can I change it thought keymap.ini? Text size very small and difficult to read.

Swipe up/down. Did you read help.png?

Can you help me to force PW turn off completely look like Cool Reader?

[CrazyCoder]

What do you mean? Just set brightness level to 0 in Cool Reader.

In CoolReader I set bright level to 0, screen turn off completly. but when I return to read file .prc . When I am in the public with brightly sun, for example park, school... I see the brightness level on 1 level and I press to down 0 level my kindle will dim, not complete off.

This will work only with Cool Reader as when you turn Kinde on/off it will restore the "1" level. When Cool Reader is running, it will force the "0" level after you turn Kindle on.

1. Follow the instructions from Collection Manager. Ensure it works on your device.
2. Download and unpack cr3-kindle-2012-10-04.zip on Kindle. It's a base older version.
3. Download/clone GitHub repository.
4. From dist-kt folder copy all the files to Kindle (overwriting existing files).
5. Run Cool Reader from the shelf.

Hello,

I'm sure this is a stupid question but could I get a bit more detail on the installation process for the Kindle Paperwhite?

With respect to step 2:
1. What do I copy over the the kindle (i.e. the entire unzipped folder or the 4 subfolders within (cr3, launchpad, qtKindle and usrapp)
2. Where do I copy it to? (i.e. is it going in developer or in the root area?)

Step 4 should be pretty simple once I understand this bit. Thanks in advance for any help.

1. subdirectories (cr3, qtKindle, etc).
2. to the flash root

Thanks for the rapid response. I'll test this out this afternoon and hopefully all will go well.

i installed this on my paperwhite and didn't have any glitches but when i try to run it from shelf, the screen just goes dark and then it returns me to the shelf...
i'm assuming this is a crash, but not sure why it's happening

ideas?

That will fix the noobies who read that later - since there is a directory named etc on the internal file system.

Try to repeat the installation steps, probably you forgot to copy something (delete everything you've copied and do it again).

Why I can not open DOC ?

I instaled last version of Coolreader 04.10.2012, but I can not open DOC format
Other formats(RTF, MOBI, EPUB, FB etc) I can open without problems

[CrazyCoder]

Try the latest test version, doc should be supported there.
