by the way, any idea about epub3 compatibility?

The only way we can know is to ask, no insult intended.
Hey, sometimes the poster has advanced degrees in C.S.
Don't worry, we will not ban you because you don't.

No idea about epub3 - why don't you just try one?

The lack of an available & usable open-source ePub3 rendering engine (AFAIK) is kind of a showstopper. Readium SDK looks promising, but despite supporting all kinds of crap (Win RT? seriously? -_-"), there's no Linux support (... while it does support Android. Again, -_-").

ahah for sure!
out of curiosity, what programming language would be necessary to write the binding wrapper?

It is mostly programed in LuaJit - which executes Lua-5.1
The Lua-5.1 reference materials are on-line: http://lua.org
and also
http://luajit.org
The documentation for luajit is in the download tarball/doc in html format.

BTW, the native KF8/AZW3 reading app supports many HTML5/CSS3 features implemented in ePub3. Pretty much the only thing that's missing is support for interactive features.

When converting ePub3 books with Calibre make sure to select AZW3 as the output format.

KoHighlights is a simple utility I made to convert the Koreader's history files to simple text.
It can also batch convert many files.

Its a desktop application for Windows, with a simple drag'n'drop GUI.

You can check its main thread here.
You can download the latest version here.

I don't know if koreader for Kindle saves the highlights of the books you read the same way as koreader for Kobo (since I'm not really a Kindle user myself), but if it saves them in an accessible folder, you can use this utility to:

• Open a file to see the Highlights
• Drag and drop a file to see the Highlights
• Right-click to copy Highlights
• Save all the displayed Highlights as plain text
• Batch convert many files at once

There are two ways for the batch conversion.

• One, is to select a directory with many history files, and a directory for the output text files.
• The other, is to just drag and drop many files on the program and it will convert the ones that end to ".lua" AND have highlights in them, to text files in the same directory as the dropped files.

Since the GUI is written for wxWidgets - it **should** support all of the popular computer systems other than just Windows.

Do you have any plans in that direction (multiple OS support)?

I don't think so. Sorry.
I only use linux in VMWare to compile android apps with kivy.
Maybe I could install the necessary libraries to run the code, but I don't know a thing about compiling executables there.
As for the Mac, I made a Hacintosh system a couple of years ago, but I don't really use it ...

Does koreader use typographical features as ligatures and kerning?

[zmv]

Is anybody else having an issue with the default Kindle status bar showing up everytime the clock changes?

It started after I updated to 5.6.5.

[NiLuJe]

@zmv: Should already be fixed in current snapshots/OTA nightlies.

(It only affected people launching KOReader via KUAL).

Is there any way to set the default hyphenation setting via the interface? Most other defaults here are settable with long tap but I'm only able to change this with the setting in the cr3.ini file.

Even not being an English native speaker I find it a bit strange that KOReader defaults to hyphenating in English considering that it has originally been developed to work on a 6″ screen.
EDIT: I'm using a recent nightly release if that matters.

I have a problem building KOReader for Kindle: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/1699

NiLuJe, could you please have a look at it?

[GeneralFailer]

Do ePub files there crash the program for anyone else? SumatraPDF opens them just fine on my desktop.
