I seem to remember that we default to auto-hinting for... reasons. That may not be the case of the stock reader.
No hinting should be perfectly fine on high DPI eInk.
Native hinting may be preferable on low DPI eInk (or at tiny font sizes, provided they're hinted properly).

That was it. The fonts look better now in my opinion, and highly readable. I might switch to KOreader as my default reading app now.

Oh ok. Thanks. The updated instructions make much more sense now!

Excuse me, but what exactly means "to merge"? I have just copied the koreader system folder in my Pocketbook Touch Lux 5 root directory and it works.

I have install KOReader on my Pocketbook Touch Lux 5 but I would like to have the option to use either KOReader or Pocketbook system alternatively to read books. Now all books open with KOReader.

Is there any way to fix it?

Thank you!

O.K. I think I fixed it. I removed the extensions.cfg file.

The KOReader program v2020.08.1 I've installed in my PocketBook641Aqua2 is aware of the existence of the Esperanto language, yet it misses hyphenation patterns for that language. I have them at https://github.com/pok49/vortodivido...ter/eo.pattern and I
tried to install that file in the same way as I did it in CoolReader: by copying eo.pattern into /mnt/ext1/applications/koreader/data/hyph/; I've also added the following record into languages.json (in the same directory):

    {
        "name": "Esperanto",
        "filename": "eo.pattern",
        "left_hyphen_min": 2,
        "right_hyphen_min": 2,
        "language": "eo",
        "aliases": ["epo"]
    },

but to no avail. The document language is correctly detected as "eo" — I see "Typography rules: eo"; but inside it the only Hyphenation dictionary suggested is "English (US)".

I also tried the .dic format of the same patterns, which are preinstalled as a part of the Adobe Reader; i.e. I specified

"filename": "/mnt/ext1/system/adobe/hyphenDicts/hyph_eo.dic",

but that does not work either.

What is the correct way for adding a hyphenation rules file?

Hi @pok. Esperanto was added a few hours ago in https://github.com/koreader/crengine...472cb4b5ba750b and will be available on a few days, I guess.

Hi,

I'm using KOReader v2020.08.01 on a PB-632 reader (Touch HD3) and I was trying to upgrade to the latest version (which at this time is 2020.09) using the option in the menu but the popup window says my current version is 20200801 and the latest version is 20200800 which, technically, leads to a downgrade. Anyone else experienced this?

Which OTA server are your settings pointing to?

EDIT: Oh, nevermind, the PocketBook stable is missing from the master, too. Ping @Frenzie .

@Mach: If you switch to the dev channel, you'll be able to move to 2020.09-1

[Frenzie]

The server ran out of space + https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/6665; let's just drop the 2020.09-1 files over in the stable ota folder.

Edit: I did so. It'll probably work? >_>

I had to switch to the dev channel to update KOReader as indicated by @NiLuJe, I had the same issue of @Mach. I had installed some nightly and then settled the stable channel again.

Anyway no problem, KOReader is fantastic.

@ps67 Could you please check right now if it works (plus "downgrade" to 2020.09)?

I am offered the upgrade option now but it fails for some reason on my device.

There is preliminary PB633 color support (as in actual color) that needs testing from users with PB633 - https://github.com/koreader/koreader...ment-695159881

It's somewhat spartan atm and you will probably need to fiddle with the code a little bit. Also probably breaks some stuff like night mode (will troubleshoot later once we get the base color support in).

Just like @Mach:

It finds the OTA but it says that it is impossible to update, it says I can try it again deleting temporary files, if I say Yes nothing happens. May be I am doing something wrong.
