Thanks, I'll try it.

I do indeed suggest KUAL, but probably Librerator, a KPV fork, is probably better suited for the K4 right now. It's also integrated with KUAL I think.

Sorry for raising GitHub issue here (and not on GitHub itself).

Home button on KT doesn't work because of this code (at frontend/ui/inputevent.lua):

function Input:init()                          
        # ...
        if Device:hasKeyboard() then                    
                self:initKeyMap()                     
        end

Let's count it as half-a-bug, because, ehm... Kindle Touch has no keyboard, right. But it has the key!

Aha, nice catch!!

Now we have to come up with an elegant way to fix it :P

OK, fix attached in PR, @eureka can you verify it?

It works fine with small addition:

-- KT does have one key!
self.event_map[102] = "Home"
self.modifiers = {}

Totally forgot about that ;p

Fixed in PR, thanks a lot as always.

Have tried the new version after a long interval... Many thanks for the improvements, the new x y movement and small scale zoom settings are wonderful! Have yet to try Kual...

A suggestion: it would be nice to have "pagination" in the reader. (e.g. when the first pages of a pdf are numbered i, ii, iii ... the viewer will display roman numerals, as in the original kindle reader. This may allow one to crop away the page numbers as well while reading).

[dave2008]

hi mrevent, could you open an issue in our tracker?
https://github.com/hwhw/kindlepdfviewer/issues

That way we can better keep track of stuffs to do.

We won't add more new features in the coming week because we are preparing for the new release right now. Sorry about that.

Name the new version Leitor. It's "reader" in Portuguese (disclaimer: I don't know Portuguese language, Google Translate does).

Rationale: most code is written in Lua, which is an Portuguese word. Simplicity and power of Lua is helpful enough to recognize its role in a form of Portuguese naming. Leitor is also generic and distinctive at the same time (quick googling finds Leitor Neo and Leitor Vivo Android programs, but no program with plain Leitor name). See also Leitor de livros digitais at Wikipedia.

Better Leitor then Neivor!

wow I hope that is funny in other languages too...

Is there way to jump to particular page in KOReader?
