One-Click Install Packages for KOReader & Plato - Page 45

NiLuJe · 11-20-2021, 10:00 AM

Updated w/ KOReader 2021.11, which follows the couple of updates in the last few days for the two Plato releases.

Which means everything now supports the Libra 2 & Sage.

A couple of known gotchas on those devices, though:

* Both Plato & KOReader may be exacerbating latent Libra 2 issues, resulting in semi-random reboots. See this GH issue for more details and some potential workarounds.
* On the Sage, both Plato & KOReader will currently exhibit slightly higher power drain, and that's in addition to the already pretty terrible power efficiency on the Sage.
As mentioned in my answer in that thread, I will eventually work on auto-suspend in KOReader (mainly to see how much it actually helps/hurts), but I currently don't have the time to do so. For interested tinkerers, my *extremely* WIP branch is public, but currently stale, I intend to rebase it ASAP, though.

Thank you very much! I installed it again today and everything works!

Works performance wise. But I have experienced the said reboots while tapping/swiping across the screen and even using the page turn buttons.

Edit: Upon further testing, Plato looks to be a lot more stable than KOReader. I'm sticking to Plato for now.

Thank you for this update. The last update caused both Plato and KOReader to crash on startup (sorry I didn't collect the logs and report) but this latest one has KOReader running very well - haven't tested Plato yet.

I have a couple of questions, as I never used KOReader before:

does it read both EPUB and KEPUB files?
does it have its own hyphenation dictionary for Polish? If not, does it read soft hyphens for EBUBs and KEPUBs or should I install such a dictionary on a device?
does it disable reading stats for KEPUBs, i.e. are these tracked only in Nickel?

Frenzie · 11-25-2021, 08:36 AM

No kepubs, no integration with Nickel (besides frontlight level and wifi networks).

Polish hyphenation yes, soft hyphens yes.

Strictly speaking, KOReader will render kepubs since the added spans which are the majority of the differences between a kepub and an epub have little effect on how the epub is displayed.

If You buy a book from Kobo and import it with wifi or Kobo Desktop Koreader won't read it because of DRM. If You convert a book into Kepub and sideload it Koreader will read it.

Seems I did something wrong, as I just extracted the KOReader zip file onto the device and didn't add the script, so I just have a bunch of files in the book list. Now, should I just run the script?

Edit: I sorted out the installation, the app looks good!

Edit: I factory reset the device anyway, so should I save the KOreader zip and the script in a single folder and then run a script? Do i have to extract the zip to Kobo after that?

What script? My friend has the same problem. After installing koreader, she has a bunch of files in her booklist. I can not hrlp her as i do not use koreader

How well does KOReader work on a Libra 2?

It's working fine.

Buhaj · 12-05-2021, 08:42 AM

I sorted out installation, just installed KOReader. If I want to add Plato, is it enough if I just extract Plato archive to the device now?
