Of course, that's ok. Still love the CR3, and will keep using it for sure. The plusses outnumber the minuses by far. Thanks for looking anyways, and who knows if you'll get some high resolution screen at some point in time. I'll be looking forward to that

I'd like to have a bigger screen actually but I think it would be too big for transportation as I constantly have it with me.

I know what you mean, the Inkpad doesn't fit most pockets. So I carry it in a softbag and handle it with a bit of care. I don't have it on my every day though.

The good part is that Inkpad is high res and has a large screen, so it reads like a hardcover instead of a pocket edition. Actually, I find it easier to hold than a 6 inch reader, it has a bit more body to it. Best is that there's more text on each page which makes reading that bit more relaxed. I don't know why exactly, perhaps I keep a better overview of the text, not having to turn the page so often. Again much like hardcover vs pocket edition.

CR3 somehow saves the battery, as power drains much slower than the stock reader. It lasts 4 weeks on a single charge, sometimes up to 6.

Maybe in the near future, there will be more flexible screens and having a larger screen on you wouldn't be a problem when twisting/cracking screens is a worry of the past.

Anybody using this on the old PocketBook 360? I just bought one used, waiting for it to arrive.

If so, how is it working for you? Any quirks or advice?

Aloha!

Thank you for your very good work !!!, the lighting by largement is great! (Only thing I Regrete after kobo), it is regrettable that the original pages indexing is not returned, but it is only a small regret

Are some of the prebuilt binaries compatible with PB 622 Touch?

I'm looking for Cool Reader (or FB reader) for the Pocketbook Ultra. Is there a version of the CR for the Ultra, and if so, where?
And how do I install it on the Ultra?

I always used the FB reader on my pocketbook 360, I heard the CR is just as good as FBreader but I wonder if it is indeed the same or what are the differences?

thanks!

You must look to the first page of theis thread and read it.

The right version: The hint is the first figure in the versionnumber of the firmware of your Ultra, and the last one in the name of the ZIP.

It's not same. CR ist better. FB uses only it's own stiles, CR can use the stiles in the book. And it knows more about html than FB.

Well, I read the first page (and lots of the following) at least 2 times, and I see the pb 632 mentioned. I see in the tread the 360 and touch and some others mentioned, and CR not working or not known to work.

So I still wonder if I can use CR on the Ultra (haven't got one yet, but my 360 is almost gone) and if so, where can I get it and how do I install it.
Sorry for not understanding the cryptical hints

[brucelee]

PB Ultra is using FW5. It should work since functionality doesn't vary by device but by firmware.
There is only one place the downloads are placed: releases (It's mentiond in the first post)
You need the pro5 variant which corresponds to FW5.
To install unpack the zip file and copy the system dir in your device.

I'd like to install CR3 on a inkpad. On github I don't find any version adapted to this eReader, which would you recommend?

Thanks!

[brucelee]

Since the same question rises around from time to time, I've added an Install section in the first post of this thread and in the github readme:

Install:

Grab the zip corresponding to your firmware from the link above. (Check the firmware from your device menu)

360 -> PB360
pro2 -> FW2.*
pro4 -> FW4.*
pro5 -> FW5.*

After downloading the zip file, extract it and copy the system dir to your device (overwrite the existing one)

Thank you brucelee!

Hi,
I use CR 0.0.6-17-49 pro5 with FW 5.14.615
since last FW update CR doesn't find my dictionaries any more. I have definitely installed some and they show up in fbreader.
Now that I had a closer look at it, I find that the global.cfg has changed.
The old version has entries for dictionaries like:

dictionary=ABBYY Lingvo® KD (En-De)

The new one goes like:

dict: /mnt/secure/dictionaries/English_German.dic=√

Perhaps that's a reason? Any Idea??

Thx in advance
