SkipStone browser for Kindle Touch

[eschwartz]

That would still presumably require support in SkipStone itself, which again means someone willing to actually hack on the code rather than just compile it.
Currently, SkipStone has no capacity to hide the menubar at all.

Anyway, that dives into a messy tangle of "do we scroll the page or open the menubar?"

[Yourcat]

Not really. At the top of the page scrolling further upwards (swipe down) can not scroll the page. So the AI may assume that $user wants to access the menu bar.
Of course this may interference with web pages which use the scroll event.

I don't know why but I can't download any files. As I press OK, the download prompt just goes away without downloading.
One more thing, on download page what is patch, how to install it?
Maybe that can fix my problem which happened when one build of KOreader worked while other didn't.
Does latest GitHub build works?

You are trying to use an application on a device that did not exist five years ago and running a firmware version even more different than what it was last tested on.
You think maybe that has something to do with your problems?

Check the time and dates of whatever is at the 'head' of the github repository.
Reading other things, like "issues", "changes", "commit logs" (any and everything readable) should give you a good idea of what its status is.
(Yes, I could do that also, I haven't, I don't need to run this application.)

I was having the same issue. There is a problem with the downloader. If you replace the downloader (in the skipstone bin folder - skipdownload) with a script containing something like:

echo $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6|tee output.log

and try to download something, it will create a file named output.log that contains the parameters passed from skipstone. If you try to run the command yourself in ssh, it gives you an error of wrong syntax for wget. This is because one of the commands that worked on the older kindles is now obsolete. Or maybe I forget and it simply is missing a lib file. Anyways, there is your issue, you can make a script that interprets the command and uses curl instead, or the built in wget.

Thanks for your help,
but I don't know about this language stuff too much. I'm just a schoolboy.

Note the date of this thread.
Take note of:
http://www.muhri.net/skipstone/page.php3?node=news


Translation:
baf's 2012 build of skipstone was already 4 years more recent than the newest version.
I don't think you can improve on the current skipstone build.


There are other open source browsers, ask google what to use.
