KOReader: a document reader for PDF, DJVU, EPUB, FB2, HTML, ... (GPLv3) - Page 45

And the next nightly (~tomorrow) should bring a fix for those strange lockups/reboots that occurred with the last few nightlies. Hurray!

Great to hear will give it a try!

Is there a way to add Koreader to the home screen i. e. to have a button to launch it directly? I admit, I am too lazy to open Kual first.

@goldencore: KPVBooklet does one better: you'll see your ePubs (& co) on the Homescreen, and clicking them will launch KOReader

.

goldencore · 12-04-2014, 02:02 PM

Thanks

@NiLuJe: The Readme for KPVBooklet doesn't mention my firmware version. Will it work anyway

Oh and by the way: My deadlock issues are solved by the current nightly of KOreader! Good job!

NiLuJe · 12-04-2014, 06:44 PM

@goldencore: The latest version should even support FW 5.6.1, IIRC

.

One question about hyphenation. Is there any settings in Koreader to skip word shorter of x characters.

goldencore · 12-14-2014, 12:49 PM

I have a new bug report:
I was reading a PDF in landscape mode (not reflowed) and when I tapped the lower right corner to change the appearance of the progress bar the Kindle froze and rebooted after about 30 seconds. This is reproduceable!

KOreader version: v2014.11-5-g199f864

hawhill · 12-15-2014, 03:19 AM

@jation: No, I don't think so.

@goldencore: Thanks for the report. Will try to reproduce. Is this for any document? What about epub/mobi?

Where is the best place to get Startdict formatted dictionaries that work properly with Koreader? I ask because I'm not able to get the dictionary function working on my PW1. I'm wondering if the dictionaries themselves are the issue.

Here's what I tried:

I downloaded the Wordnet and The Collaborative International Dictionary of English from http://abloz.com/huzheng/stardict-dic/dict.org/. The dictionaries were installed to koreader/data/dict. I tried both the *.idx and *.ifo versions. I don't get any definitions returned when long pressing a word in using koreader with an epub file.

What should I try to get a english dictionary working?

hawhill · 12-15-2014, 06:12 AM

There's no "idx" or "ifo" version of stardict dictionaries. The "idx", "ifo" and "dict" or "dict.dz" files all together form a stardict dictionary. So you have to copy all three files to that directory.

[KPW2 - koreader-stable-v2014.11] My Kindle start to hang when i log in to Evernote for the first time.

hawhill · 12-18-2014, 03:40 AM

What does "start to hang" mean? Does it ever successfully log in? Does the "hanging" stop then? Is it OK when running Koreader again later?
