At last I decided to publish here my port of Cool Reader. Initially it was developed for Kobo devices (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=222803) but recently I've ported it to Kindle.

My work based on Craizy Coder's port. But now it is much differs from the origin.

Main features:
* It is optimized and works now for Touch devices (KT, KPW, KPW2).
* Configurable swiped and tap zones.
* Multi-language virtual keyboard can be used for text search, remarks, dictionary (remarks and dictionary are not implemented yet, but will be soon)
* Configurable screen saver
* Very comfortable frontlight control
* Very comfortable dialogs (TOC, Recent books, Open file).

Download
Please, don't be confuzed. pbchess is the pack of my apps, one of which is CoolReader.

Installation

Other programs
1. pbchess (chess trainer) (Touch, Non-touch)
2. checkers (Touch, Non-touch)
3. reversi (othello) (Touch, Non-touch)
4. sokoban (Touch, Non-touch)
5. sudoku (beta, touch only)
6. takuzu (beta, touch only)
7. notepad (Touch, Non-touch)
8. calculator (Touch, Non-touch)

sudoku, takuzu, notepad, calculator will not require registration starting from the next release (in a few days).

It is really solid on the PW2 ! Thanks for your work !

I am only missing notes and dictionary, but when they'll have been implemented, this will be just fantastic !

K for you !

At last I've found a time and created CoolReader wiki page:

It will grow

Wonderful version of Coolreader for the PW2! I've got it set up just as I like, but there's one problem for which I haven't been able to locate a remedy. When I click on vlasovsoft in KUAL the frontlight goes off, and none of the settings, including the one in Coolreader, will restore it. I have to go back to the main menu and change the intensity to get it to come back on. I've tried the frontlight at various settings, including maximum, but it still goes off when I go to the vlasovsoft menu. I want Coolreader for the finer font size adjustments and margins but I need the light. Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks for reporting! First of all, please set Log level = 2 in the launcher/Settings (vlasovsoft launcher, "Settings tab").

2. Restart launcher (exit and run vlasovsoft again)
3. Try to change frontlight level in Settings, turn it on/off by means of checkbox
4. Exit from launcher
5. Give me the file vlasovsoft/launcher.log.txt

P.S. strange... I've been reported that there are not problems with frontlight in KPW2. Yre you using the latest version?

Whew! That was simple, it was my senility! It was unchecked. I was just seeing that as a heading and didn't realize it needed to be checked. Works great now that I turned it on. Sorry I troubled you!

If that one was a hard to find surprise - stay away from Android devices.

The above comment entered solely because I had one in my hands when I read your post above.

Here is another one to try on your "Always Connected (Amazon's phrase)" Kindle - -

Touch out SOS (three short touches, three long, three short) - see if they send out a repairman.

New version of CoolReader + applications is released.

The main feature is non-touch devices support (K3, K4 2012/2013). See release notes for more details.

Where probably will be a lot of bugs in this release. Please report them here.
