Any chance I can get Koreader working on my Prestigio PER3162BN

Hey, I know it's an unsupported, old e-reader, but I currently cannot afford to get a new one, and it can't seem to open the book I want to read no matter what I do. I know the answer is most likely no, but I thought it was still worth a try anyway.

Other, alternative solutions are also welcome.

Not a dev, but looking at the specs I am not sure 32 MB RAM is enough:
“The latest member of Prestigio Nobile family features now an advanced 400MHz CPU by ROCKCHIP and 32MB memory on board, offering to it 2GB of built-in storage as well as up to 32GB micro SDHC slot for extra space for eBook, pictures and audio files.”

You can convert the book to a format that Prestigio native ereader can read. Split the book into two or more parts if needed.

Ah well, thanks for your responses anyway!

Yes, I have tried converting the ebook multiple ways, but it didn't help besides looking at the first few pages.

My last option is to try removing a few pages, and splitting the book into multiple parts. Though I imagine splitting wouldn't help, because with that little ram, it has to unload the current page, and load the next one before doing anything, it's also slow, which makes me believe the same thing.

And save up to buy a Reader that works.

Then convert to txt and use like that (or first convert to txt and then convert to ePub). This should remove the heavy layouts. Alternatively, convert to images and use the image view folder if that works. If the device can't handle one of that it's time to give up.
