K3G 0.14.N Doesn't Work.

Hi, I'm new to jailbreaking Kindles so high chance this is due to my own ignorance, but I noticed that the 0.14.N gives me a U007 when I try to install it on my K3G.

However, interestingly, the 0.13.N file that I got from the 'Snapshots' thread, does seem to work.

I think this either means that:
  1. there's something up with the jailbreak file specifically for K3G
  2. has to do with the unzipping utility (on Mac, at least) and how it 'smartly' is handling an xz unzip vs. a zip unzip

Quite odd.

Kindle 4 shows old tamil fonts

I use Kindle 4. I am fond of reading books in Tamil(Indian language). However, my K4 renders the books in old tamil fonts. (Glyphs of some of the letters in Tamil such as னு, னை have been changed probably half a century ago). Although I can understand those letters, it's annoying to translate at the top of head every time.
I tried installing different fonts including Fertigo Tamil (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=116098) , Tiro Tamil using the hack described in this Thread. Though it changes the English fonts, I don't see any difference in Tamil fonts.
Any help in making it work would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi all, looking for some help.
I've had my K4 for a while with the jailbreak and the screensaver hack. I've been trying to get the font hack to work. I've installed the font hack through MRPI and it changes fonts EVERYWHERE in the kindle except for in the books themselves. I've tried swapping out for the Museo pack listed early in this thread, and it also changes the fonts everywhere BUT the book text. Any ideas? I also have a Voyage, so I've been holding them side-by-side and comparing the changes to make sure I'm not crazy.

When I swapped out the fonts after the hack install, I changed the whole list from mono_bold.ttf through serif_regular.ttf, including 12 fonts...

Thanks!

For anyone trying to get koreader on a Kindle Keyboard, this is a great simplification process (of course, change the .bins needed for your model, I have a K3G). I had tried the multiple tools and links a few times before but following this got it working. Thanks tetris11.

I've read the complete forum, did all things good (i guess) but i cant get to work the cover mode on screensaver. Always showing the default message. Tried with a few books, making sure all of them had covers, but nothing. Everythin works great despite the cover mode. I wish this works any ideas

(sorry, a side note I love it how users choose avatars. Your’s looks exactly like a lost otter after JB attempt)

Why do you need linkss folder in the first place?
You need to take a few steps back.
1) You need JB package from NiLuJe’s Snapshots thread (stickied in this forum)
2) You also need to install MKK package - make sure to choose the right bin file for your Kindle Model, read the readme.txt file carefully
3) Then, if all was installed well, you can install KUAL and then Screensaver Hacks, with their own methods. Also found in the Snapshots.
After that, you can use KUAL to set up Screensavers hacks. Of course, you need to provide your own screen saver files to Kindle
