I wouldn't bother with coolreader. Unlike pbimageviewer it is not developed anymore.

Which coolreader version do you use? It probably makes sense to continue discussion in this thread

I am using this one. Just tried the one you have posted, but margin settings are no longer respected, title font is totally unreadable and the menu looks exactly the same like in the other version. Even I like how you grouped the settings (other fixes/new features don't seem that important to me), I still prefer original v0.0.6-6. Apart from the tiny buttons inside the top panel even the application is no longer updated, Cool Reader works nicely (the most important things work the way they should - I can configure the app, I can easily access contents plus both touch screen and physical page turn buttons work well).

The latest version is here. I'm not aware of any problems with margins and other settings. The menu in the last version probably will be without labels if your language is not English. If labels are needed you need to change a skin. In the old version is also possible to change menu. In the Users tips, apps and FAQs for the new reader models thread there is description how. Look for

Note: for the correct menu image file copy the appropiate attached file in the "skin" subfolder (under "system/bin/share/cr3/bin"). ...

If you go to page settings -> page margins and adjust them there, the setting is not respected. I guess, it's because this settings is overridden by the setting in CSS file.

The menu looks good to me in the latest version (0.0.6-16_3.0.57-15). Thanks.

I guess "Style settings" -> "Document embedded styles" option is set. If it is so, disabling it will solve the issue.

I have attached my settings file for people who want to use Cool Reader with Inkpad but don't want to struggle with tiny buttons in the top panel to configure everything themselves. The ini file should be copied to system/config/cr3 folder.

It looks a bit worse, but you can now see time and battery percentage while reading, you can switch between open apps and go to home screen faster, you have a choice of three reading apps for epub & mobi books (two preinstalled by default (AdobeViewer & fbreader) plus Cool Reader), you can see many more books in the home screen, rkomar's comic book viewer now shows additional info in the status bar.

Plus there are more formatting options for Epub, and the text looks better. It's pretty nice.

What do you mean by "don't work"? Do the applications crash for you on start, do you get some error or simply you don't know how to change the application for opening specific file format? What have you tried?

Coolreader still isn't showing up as an app, and PDImageviewer runs, and can browse the folder structure, but can't actually see the ebooks in the folder.
