Is it possible to make it so that epub books open inside Koreader? I like the book interface in Nickel but I would prefer to read in Koreader.

I believe PocketBook devices can do that, but Kobo devices cannot. You have to use KOReader for both navigation and reading if you want to use KOReader at all.

Has there been progress on getting KOReader to run on the new Kobo/Tolino (namely the Libra/Vision color models)?

I've been using KOReader on my Tolino Vision 5 in connection with my Kavita server, and am missing the ability to just go and grab my books off my server via it...

I can't speak to Tolino, but I've been running koreader on a Libra Color since the 2024.07 release. What are you looking for specifically? (no support for the stylus as a writing device, just as a pointer, but otherwise I haven't seen anything "missing")

That's probably a question about 5.x firmware.

Help! I've been having a heck of a time trying to install KOReader on my Kobo Elipsa 2e and I'm not sure what I'm messing up. I'm using a mac. The install script runs with no problems, and nickelmenu installs. However, when I try to launch koreader, either through nickelmenu or kfmon, it gives me a bomb error. Here's a link to the crash log file.

For whatever reason it looks like some files/folders are just not there, but again, I have no clue why this is happening. I've also attempted to do the manual install and use a nightly build, all to no avail.

Is your MacOS does things like unprepossessing archives when it shouldn't be?

hello I have a problem on the last koreader on my kobo libra colour :The tool icons at the top of the page and the presets at the bottom of the page no longer appear, fortunately I know where they are but everything is gray without icons. This is obviously a bug in this version.do you have the same issue ? thanks

Hello, I have used the auto script on my mac to install KOreader on a Kobo Clara BW and then updated it and have installed the Project Title Plugin and also the Parental Controls plugin.

My issue is that when my kid is inside a book, we cannot exit back to the main Library folder (my home folder) Google says I should have the option from the hamburger menu, but I have no file drawer icon.

Just wondering if anyone can advise what I have done wrong, please?

thank you.

The file drawer icon is in the top menu (tap near the top of the screen or slide down from the top of the screen), assuming those plugins don't interfere with it showing.
