Latest version 1.020

They are the same, when I compared (3 years ago) I did not find any differences.
1.020, not 1.20 sorry, but the last version indeed.

I do heard about a 1.201 version, but I didn't find it anywhere.

So Wiki is lying again, I clarified there before writing. Can download the firmware and pull it out, but I take your word for it. And besides, I'm just too lazy, and don't use Bookerly.

Some differences about hinting I heard, what does that mean, concretely ?

Do you know which version removed hinting?

It means that at smaller sizes, Bookerly does not render correctly on a Kindle. The Kindle needs hinting.

Kobo does not need hinting. Kobo can work with or without hinting.

Jon, I wrote above that I watched Bookerly 3 years ago (that is, I ripped it out of the firmware). I climbed into the wiki (not the English version), saw that the latest version is 1.020 - I was surprised, but believed. In version 1.201 it was removed, I suspect, so it makes no sense to install it. So?

You can add hinting to Bookerly if you want. I use ttfautohint to deal with hinting. There is a separate GUI you can use with it as it's a command line program.

Interesting, thanks.
And about rendering on Kobo, how does 1.020 look, compared with the latest version ?
Theoretically I mean, not sure which is supposed to be the best.

If you can get the latest Bookerly do so and then fix it up. Any version of Bookerly needs fixing.

If it's a better one, I'd gladly do that, but I doubt I'm good enough to extract it from any recent firmware.

@JLB14 would you mind trying ChareInk (hinted) and see if you have the same problem as you do when using Bookerly? Thanks.

Here's the URL for ChareInk. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=184056

Overcame laziness, forced myself, downloaded the Amazon firmware (5.13.5, am I not mistaken?). There is version Bookerly 1.020 ... How so?

Jon, did you personally unpack the firmware and fix version 1.201?

The Bookerly I have is from firmware 2.5.6.5. It's that old. I decided I wasn't all that interested in Bookerly and kept it around for testing purpose.
