KOreader on Android

[pazos]

@giotti: both are general questions better answered elsewhere. Don't hessitate to create new threads. Each one focused on a a topic. That way is easier to locate them later and can be used by other users, even when they're using different devices

And because I'm feeling generous:

1. That's the the reference page number, which you can disable in the "Document" tab of the top menu

2. In the "Gear" tab, in Screen > e-Ink settings.

Thanks a lot. Next time I will ask in the right section.
I promise :-)

No idea about the numbers, but for me and my poke2 the page refresh is built into the reader itself and can't be changed through KOreader.

To know if your device has epd support within KOReader you can go to help -> report a bug. Android devices without special support only say: "model, api, version", while devices with support will also say the e-ink platform. For example: https://github.com/koreader/koreader...ment-620378418

Only devices that are supported have a setting available.

I can not find the point. Were is it?

There's some work being done in https://github.com/koreader/android-...ncher/pull/250. This is only for Nova 2 for now, but it *should* also work on Poke 2. Some time in the future, the E-ink test will have extra button for Qualcomm/Onyx devices. If it flashes on Poke 2 it may be added.

@Winkelschraube: It'll only display inside an actual ePub 3 document that features a reference pagemap.

Ok, nice to know.

I came across the same issue with a book recently downloaded from Gutenberg. However the book was EPUB2 but had a pageList section in the toc.ncx :

<pageList id="pages" class="pagelist">
    <navLabel>
      <text>Pages</text>
    </navLabel>
    <pageTarget id="pt-1" value="1" type="normal" playOrder="4">
      <navLabel>
        <text>[Pg 5]</text>
      </navLabel>
      <content src="RFT_split2.html#Page_5"/>
    </pageTarget>
    <pageTarget id="pt-2" value="2" type="normal" playOrder="6">
      <navLabel>
        <text>[Pg 6]</text>
      </navLabel>

(much truncated)

So not just restricted to EPUB3. I hadn't seen this previously in Gutenberg books and it may be a modern innovation with their conversion process.

Huh. Indeed, there was an ePub 2 precedent .

c.f., https://github.com/koreader/crengine/pull/336 for the actual details of the KOReader implementation .

Trying out KOReader on my android tablet. Book reader looks great, so many options. CSS support is awesome.

But one area I'm hoping for more features is the file browser. Is there something that presents more like a library view, where you can group books by (calibre metadata) series? I plan on using OPDS to get books onto my tablet. Is there a site for plugins that aren't bundled with the APK?

Nope. The file browser is a file browser. It can show you some metadata but just for the books in the same dir.

There's also a plugin to find calibre metadata. Have a look at the whole thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=335442

If having a view with all your books is important to you I would suggest to try Coolreader or Readera instead. They're all based on Coolreader engine.

Not really. There're a few hosted on github, but you need to search them. For instance https://github.com/search?q=koreader+plugin

Hi, using koreader in landscape mode on my phone, the text is shown cut out of the right side of the display. Can I fix it enabling any setting or anything else?

Hw rotation on "notched" devices was disabled in https://github.com/koreader/android-...6baf46661a6bca

Make sure you're using the last version. 2020.12.

If you can still reproduce on last stable feel free to submit a bug report (and attach required info there)
