Do as it says and try again. Often a restart will have it come around.
Note: if you repeat trying to install, do a fresh copy of the DK_System folder.

( I am still attempting to download, so I have not tested it yet - done about 9 failed downloads )

PLEASE check the size of the download. For some reason, the download terminated too early. Unpacking without error, while it sure was only a partial download !

Try this site : Duokan English

It's not clear which BIN files to copy in the root directory of the Kindle.

You use the one for your Kindle. In fact, it will not update the system without the correct file.

I have downloaded the release and did encounter the same error, but it the reboot went perfectly well.

For updating to this new version what I have to do? Only taking the update.bin file and putting it in the Kindle root?

I would like to make a printscreen unfortunately Shift Alt G does nothing.

I hope they will fix that, for now i read my books in Pdf.
- printscreen has been changed to shift+space for some time now.
- downloaded a book from Gutenberg: it's utf8 text, and there are the same errors with the special characters and dictionary. And there are some errors in French.
- there are also some trouble with switching to the usb-storage and I also had to reset it a couple of times. ( need some more testing )

I have a Kindle 3 WIFI therefore I copied the update_duokan_0b008.bin in the root of the Kindle.

After restart the update stops, as I said before, showing error N° 3. Then I press <R> to start the Kindle OS. Then <menu> and <restart> but nothing happen: the system restart with the Kindle OS.

At this point I connect the Kindke via USB and see that the BIN file is no more present. I copy the BIN file again and try to update, but find the same error.

This Duokan seems to be harder than expected

Thanks for taken a look at this issue TFethryDuck.
Actually I tried too to download a book from guttenberg at the result was surprisingly better than I had before. Accents are now in the same font than the rest of the text.

I was sure my previous text file was UTF8 too, so I have to test that again. (I am with Ubuntu at home)

The biggest problem is the text format, words with accents are truncated.
I finally managed to do a printscreen thanks to you, and reported in one page the three common issue we meet with three dot colors, but there are probably more. (You seems to have problems with the î letter on your printscreen)

But it is a good step for me I can deal with that for now.
And I have to say, I really love Duokan. The category page is perfect (multiple folders, what a dream to organise my pdf articles) and it is far better to read mangas on it than the buggy amazon one. Happy user here.

You choosed the right .bin file for your kindle wifi.
Did you jailbreak your kindle ? I saw that it doesn't work in this case.

No, I didn't.

As additional information, in the root of the Kindle I have 2 calibre files with extension .CALIBRE . But I don't think they give problems.

( And it does not need any jailbreak )

1. Check the size of .rar file you downloaded. It should be 39.6Mb. ( if not, try download again and check filesize )

2. Delete the DK_System folder. Copy the new unpacked DK_System folder you downloaded to the Kindle. Place "update_duokan_0b008.bin" in your root.

3. Restart

4. When it starts up again, keep an eye on the screen. You don't want to miss the Duokan Boot screen where you need to press "Q"

------------

A few notes: - if you didn't have a Duokan installed before this last version, you may try to install the previous first ( see post #514 ) - and when you are in Duokan, do the steps above with this last version. When you eject(safely remove the device) - you will wait for some time until the system comes up again. ( you do not need to restart, it will update automatically )

You also restart in an ctrl-alt-del fashion - try holding the power-button while you count to 30 before you release it.
( when you have counted to around 8, the led may turn off - but keep holding it and count ) Again, don't miss the boot screen, where you have to press "Q"

In (2) - notice that you use a "fresh" DK_System folder. You may receive errors if you only place an "update_duokan_0b008.bin" in your root, without doing so - because during the update, it rearrange several files in the folder, and delete some needed during the update.

Enjoy the new version
