Apperently, "Yes, we can!"

Awesome!!! Thanks!

First I'd like to thank you for your efforts in maintaining this superb and essential application.

I've installed cr3-v0.0.6-17-52-pro5 with skin pb626fw5 on my Touch HD with the new 1072x1448 pixel, 300 dpi screen.

As you can see below, the screen size is handled properly, only the interface fonts and some elements are a wee small. This is made worse by the THD's deeper recessed screen, which handicaps touching it near the rim. A customized skin would therefore be appreciated, but isn't urgent.

The only glitch I've observed is in the Dictionary screen, where the text uses only about 70% of the window height. This is probably due to the used font size, as 212/300 = 0,71.

Furthermore, I can't obtain an OTA update. The app reports that the actual version is installed, so it connects successfully to the server. But if a newer release is available, the update fails. Before I start logging, is the device model (pb631) already supported?

I've linked the OTA update of PB631 to PB626. You should be able to do wireless updates now.

I'm afraid I'd need a Touch HD to work that out. I'd have to constantly test the changes since not everything can be changed from the theme. There are hard coded things in the source code.

Unfortunately not. OTA launch starts at line #1219 and seemingly runs into Page 404 when checking if the device is linked to another one.

It seems that the GetDeviceModel() method is returning the string differently so after manipulating the text I get PB631 instead of 631.
I've updated the OTA link. Please try again.

- Fixed OTA device model detection for newer devices

Hi brucelee, thanks for the updates!
I also got a Touch HD now. Could you include some more larger font sizes for the status line? 32 is still a bit small depending on which font I choose.

Hi, when I long touch the book list, there is no open with cr3. First time a book is open, it is opened using cr3. But when it is opened with Adobe/fb reader once, I don't know how to re-open using cr3.

I copied the config/extensions.cfg, share and system folder. Did i miss anything else?

Device is Pocketbook Inkpad2. Fw: 5.15.33

Make handlers.cfg read-only and CR will open the book again after Adobe and FBreader.

Thanks. That sort of working. Sometime I need to close from multitask first. During testing, if I just open with A, close, open again, it stuck with old one. But I won't mind that.

I like the customasibility of CR3 (disabling some touch/gesture, light quick toggle etc). Changing the setting is a bit hard due to small UI in some place. Hopefully after everything configured to my taste I won't need to change much later.

v0.0.6-17-55

- Upped font sizes to 300px and status-bar font sizes to 100px

[LucyOne]

Thanks for the quick update! OTA worked fine. I hope you figure out how to increase the font size in the dictionary soon, then CR will be perfect again!

I can confirm, too, that OTA now works with the Touch HD. If only the PocketBook team would be so quick and responsive! >;-)

You could hack /system/share/cr3/dict.css by adding i.e. "font-size: 140%;" to the paragraph format. Note that won't affect list view and is overwritten by every update.

Ideally, the dictionary font should be user configurable, as the preferred balance between readability and the amount of information presented will vary.

I've noticed that the home symbol in the TOC does not work. I have to press a button to get back to reading.
