KoReader on reMarkable 1

sr1921 · 05-20-2026, 01:58 PM

I made a test of installing KoReader on a reMarkable 1 (last software update installed), using reManager. It works, but I cannot select a word and drag the highlight to select a longer section (I can only highlight the single word selected). Is this a known issue? It seems that it could be a problem of the interaction with the screen. The capability to highlight portions of text is important. Any tip is welcome.

I don't have a reMarkable 1 and have no idea if this works on your device, but my nightly version of KOReader has a "Select and highlight" feature than allows you to first, highlight a word, then highlight a second word further down the page causing all words in between to be highlighted. A quick way to highlight longer passages. See "Taps and gestures">"Long press on text">"Select and highlight." And you will probably have to play with "Gesture intervals" to get it working to your liking. If it works at all, that is.
