loving this koreader, it makes images in epubs nice a large.

I tried to apply sleep.zip to koreader 251 on my glo, but all it did was to make koreader unlaunchable. I copied the files into the correct places, overwriting the three .lua files in /koreader/frontend/ui/
Am I missing something?

I'm working on suspend support, hopefully it will be done and clean in a couple days!

To solve this problem I've created a simple install pack based on Markismus's excellent 1-Step-Hack. It contains the latest Koreader and CoolReader builds, and it installs and woks fine on my Kobo Mini with firmware 2.6.1. After the first install updating to newer versions must be simple using the recent official Koreader an Coolreader (pbchess) install files. I hope it works on other Kobo devices too.

Install files: AltReader (BE CAUTIOUS, IT'S TESTED ON KOBO MINI FW 2.6.1 ONLY!)

Thanks a ton for this.

I'm sorry for this kind of issues, I have to revise the instructions on the first post and the installation process overall - it should be sufficient to manually copy koreader.png in the kobo before installing koreader. I'll move the image out of KoboRoot.tgz to simplify doing that, and I'll add a README to the nightly builds to avoid this kind of issue, as soon as suspend support is done.

Standby support is finally in!

That is excellent, thank you so much!

Is this in the latest nightly? https://code.google.com/p/koreader-p...3-g597e5c1.zip

No, you should wait a little longer - from version 537 onwards.

Tried build 545 but unfortunately same crashes with pdf in landscape mode.

The new stand-by not seems to work. It enters into stand-by and immediately it exits from a real stand-by.
The only real effect is that light is turned off but touchscreen remains still operative.

Build 545 work perfectly for me, but I have not tried using pdf. Suspend works, from the power button as well as the magnetic cover, the only thing that I would like to see is a setting to suspend after X minutes.

Great work giorgio130!

The issue is being discussed here: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/293 and here: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/288.

Ok thanks.

You can add also CBZ (with a collection of png) to file types that fail.

I have koreader installed and working, and have a .books folder on my microSDcard. All that is fine, but I cant find a way to make calibre's "send to device" feature send the books to the (hidden) .books folder. Has anyone managed to do this?

For me it not works.
Stand-by statement appears for less than 1 sec and then it vanishes.
After this touchscreen is still active and AuraHD is not in stand-by mode but only with frontlight off.

PS
I tried only with PDF and CBZ files, I haven't EPUB files on device.

Another problem I have forgot to highlight is the accented vowels on dictionary.

For example, words like "perché" (Why/Because in italian) or "città" (city in italian) are shown as "perch\u00e9" and "citt\u00e0".

Stardict problem or koreader font rendering problem on dictionary ?
