Thanks for the info.
If it's the system TOC viewer, why is it so small in CoolReader and normal size in AdobeViewer and FB Reader?

[brucelee]

Adobe and FB don't use it anymore in FW5. They have a custom made TOC viewer implemented directly in the apps.

Can Coolreader use stardict dictionaries without converting them to Pocketbook form?

[brucelee]

I don't think so.


v0.0.6-17-42:

- Added font sizes up to 150

Hey brucelee: I just created a MobileRead-Account to say thank you for your brilliant work on CoolReader3. The app makes my PB626 such a better device, I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love it.

Yesterday I stumbled across the skin-setting for the first time and I absolutely love the way CR3 looks with the PB636FW5 skin. Hadn't seen that before. Perfect.

Just a thought for the future: do not wander into the "Featuritis-trap". Not every feature asked by anyone really needs to be implented. CoolReader is still on the declining path leading to a better and better app, so no worries at the moment. Just don't tread on the path where eg. Firefox is on at the moment: more and more features are asphyxiating the real value of the app.

To make a long story short: THANKS AGAIN for your superb work so far!

I don't intend to implement any new stuff for a while anyway. I want to fix some annoying bugs.

Thanks for the review.

Like after deleting a citation from the citation list (long tap on the citation and choose delete) the back arrow should be tapped 2 times (the first tap has no effect) to actually go back to the book?

What's the previous version of CR3 you used?
Does it happen with all the books?
Try setting the following option to 2: Settings > Display settings > Grey buffer depth

Setting "Grey buffer depth = 2" CR3 works great as always. Please can you explain to me the function of the "Grey buffer depth" that I did not understand.
Thank you

Ciao from Italy

Unfortunately, PB840 fw5.4.101_CIS do not have ODPS support right now and it's technical support can not confirm that it will have it in the future.

Please add this feature request to your plans.

Try this build and let me know if it's fixed: #ce83a66/builds/626/pro5/latest.zip

Refreshing bug.

There seems to be a refreshing bug.
When a pageturn is processed IMO the following happens:

- step 1: the new page is displayed inverted
- step 2: just before step 3, the old page is displayed inverted
- step 3: the new page is displayed normal

So IMO step 2 should be skipped which will result in a slightly more crisp display with more consitent black text and also better contrast

I dunno if this is already common knowledge but the bug sadly is not related to Coolreader itself but to Pocketbook in general.

Perhaps it's possible to develop some kind of workaround, or maybe an optional double refresh option?

BTW, thanks for the pinch zoom fix

No, it still requires 2 taps to go back.

About that refreshing thing, yes, I also reported refreshing problem earlier complaining about the text quality. Now my workaround is to do full update at each page turn. (Which makes me angry, because my old Nook shows very good text quality without using full update.)

Wrong test.

Ah, yes, sorry. I tried 3 pairs, they worked. Thanks!
