PW3 [WIP] Online manga reader for Kindle

tva2000hn · 05-11-2021, 08:26 AM

I made this one for personal purposes, but hope somebody has some uses for it.
Warning: this is a very simple(but functional manga reader only)

It's PyQt4 on Python 2.7 based
I only tested this on an PPW3 but it should work on any 300ppi screens kindle

Tks:
@NiLuJe for his python 2.7 build on Kindles
Debian Jessie for PyQt4 bindings
@bonito7 for making the guide for PyQt4 on Kindle

Download : https://github.com/vapormusic/mangareader-qtpy/releases
Source code: https://github.com/vapormusic/mangareader-qtpy

Installation:
Install NiLuJe's Python 2.7 package from his snapshots
Merge the /python folder on the root of your Kindle Drive with the contents of python.zip
Copy the contents of reader.zip to the extensions folder

Tried on my KO2 tho. Pretty good except the size is kinda small.

Can you please tell me which file to tweak the resolution or size of the app?
Appreciated.

I have uploaded a new Version on Github for you to try out.

Note: I do not have an Oasis to test it out, i tried to scale the app according to the specs on Amazon's site.

Really appreciate for you hard work but this time it got stuck at the loading screen (where it shows "Loading Manga Reader...".)

You can debug the app by using kterm , then cd ../mangareader and python mangareader/reader.py and screen shot it to me

It seems there is missing libraries from Python:
Type this on kterm: python -m pip install requests-cache==0.5.2

If there are other missing libraries , let me know!

Indeed. I find no problem so far.

Really nice bro. Maybe we need fit to full screen function. It's too small to read.
And now we cant forward to next chapter without back and select other chapter.
Netruyen is just a leek website, they dont translate any comic but it's a good source for reading. Can you add truyentranhtuan.com, truyenqq.com, blogtruyen.com and hocvientruyentranh.com
Thank you

Tap the lower portion of the screen / or the File button
P/S: Don't turn pages too quick, it will lag out . About others manga sources, you can add it easily with Python. I won't update it too often cus i'm busy.

I don't expect a response at this point, however, when I put in the debug commands I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mangareader/reader.py", line 4, in <module>
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
ImportError: /lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC.2.1.5' not found (required by /mnt/us/puthon/lib/libaudio.so.2)
