Koreader running on Kobos (all of them, hopefully!)

[serdar0020]

Frenzie, since I've a lot of huge pdf's, another question that's not related to this tread: is there a better, more powerful ebook reader available that has the same hardware qualities as the old kobo aura (6", no bezel, ext. 64 GB microSD, adaptable to Koreader)?

[Frenzie]

Most recent models are broken by design (i.e., no microSD slot) so I don't really know otoh. Maybe the Cervantes models still have it?

[serdar0020]

another request for pdf reading which all pdf readers for PC can accomplish: "go to page". Some pdf's have letters, A,B,C or Roman numerals as page no., or in the midst photos "p001, p002" etc. The koreader only counts from 1 to 9999

[Frenzie]

That's https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/4245

Or rather, upstream issue https://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695351

Whenever I finish a book, come to the last page, I return to file browser. Is there a way to automatically remove the sdr folder which at the moment remains and which I have to remove manually within my Windows explorer?

[NiLuJe]

@serdar0020: IIRC, that's one of the option in the "End of Book" popup.

If it isn't yet, I'm fairly sure there's a FR about just that open on GitHub.

[Frenzie]

Doesn't the SDR also remove when you delete the file through KOReader? Or only if you "Clear SDR" or whatever it's called?

[serdar0020]

"Delete file" through KOReader is not an option, because I store all my books on my microSD card.

I get the following commands at the end of the book: cancel, book status, delete file, open next file, filebrowser

There's no "IIRC". So what I'd like is: "delete sdr folder and open file browser"

(this isn't that important. It's only when I synch the files on my PC with those on the ebook reader, I look at them next to each other, and all those SDR folders annoy.)

Another again totally minor suggestion: I like to read epubs with the full progress bar on top. That isn't possible for pdf's

There are "long press" options for the entry in History. I also have my ebooks in a "hidden" file structure, on my external SD card. I haven't checked but I think it is now deleting the SDR along with the ebook file.

[serdar0020]

found it. history - long press on book - purge sdr

KOReader 2019.11

[Ken Maltby]

Not sure that purging deletes the file, I think it just returns it to how it was when originally created. There is a "Delete" button provided there, as well, I don't see the logic for both, unless purging does something less than deleting the whole file.

Luck;

[serdar0020]

purging does what I need, it only deletes the SDR folder

[NiLuJe]

I'm unclear as to why "delete file" isn't practical in your case, unless you meant that the sd card is your *primary* storage location for those books (as in, they're not copied from a full library hosted somewhere else, which sounds a bit insane, but, hey, to each their own ).

And, no, no top status bar on PDF, as that's a CRe feature .

[serdar0020]

that's exactly what I do, Niluje. But I have back-ups
