I've been using Koreader extensively for the last two months or so and have some observations:
- If the Table of Contents is longer than one page I'm in no way able to go to the next page. Swipe up or down does not work, the same goes for font changing. I have alternative fonts but If the font is few pages down the list (eg my favourite Ubuntu font) there is no way to select it. Don't know if this is a bug or am I doing something wrong? - What about the idea of back and forth button (as in the standart mobi reader) - last time I was reading a pdf densely packed with annotations at the very end of document but since endnotes in the pdf file didn't worked I was forced to constantly manually shift beetwen the text and the endnotes which was a nightmare. Temporary solution was to add bookmarks to the text and to the endnotes, but this is ineffective since you have to add new bookmarks every few pages as you progress in reading. - A few days ago strange thing happened - was reading a pdf book and it crashed so I restarted the device. After restart the book opened up on the very spot it crashed and after a minute crashed again. And again and again. Only after I plugged Kindle to my laptop and deleted the LUA for that particular book was I able to open it again. So I was thinking - maybe it would be good to have an option to delete the lua settings file from within the Koreader itself? - I have quite a large number of files which is now hard to tap on the file manager. I often end up opening the wrong file. Maybe adding some separate lines or spaces beetwen the files could help a little? Last edited by MaxStirner; 07-05-2013 at 04:21 PM. |

If you report problems, you should probably report the exact version of the KOReader that you use, your device type and the version of its firmware.

It was 2 days ago so either the latest or 0630 - I always try to use the most recent, but I'm not a hundred percent sure which of the two. I remember the crash happened while trying to decrease the "boldface" of a scanned reflowed pdf from "darkest" to a lighter one.
This pdf was relatively big about 30 megabytes in size - but it worked well until that moment. EDIT: Another peculiarity - Koreader appears to have encoding problems. I'm reading now a mobi biography of Himmler. The base text is in English but as you might expect it is full of German proper names. The only font I was able to test in both standard reader and Koreader was Baskerville and Futura. Both work perfectly in the standard Kindle reader - when the same text is opened in Koreader both fonts show question marks and Chinese symbols in place of a German umlaut.

just pdfs

with a text editor, manually edit filechooser.lua (you'll find that here: \koreader\frontend\ui\widget\) so that the following line (roughly at line 21): Code:
if self.show_hidden or not string.match(f, "^%.[^.]") then Code:
if string.match(f, "%.pdf") then |

Did you try this:
Code:
if string.match(f, "%.pdf") or string.match(f, "%.epub") then Last edited by thomass; 07-17-2013 at 09:17 AM. |

If NO then use only one finger. If YES then try using your middle finger only. (It will probably still crash, but a great tension reliever.) |
