sort of English Duokan

[FethryDuck]

@hug:

RIght. But - there HAS been some examples of a dictionary freeze of some kind. But there are some upgrades going on at the Duokan site. It is temporarily unavailable.

( hmm... if we are lucky, perhaps it may be some improvement for us none speakers of Chinese )

Is the option to select document folder now gone? There used to be a setting that allowed one to chose between the Kindle documents folder and DK_Documents. I don't have that option in the latest version. Either that, or I left something out of the Duokan Lite install I just did.

I really like the Duokan Lite installation. It takes seconds to jump to Duokan from Kindle OS, and only 30 seconds to return. Nice!

To montalex:
The option to select document folder is removed in the latest version.And this is why I not upgrade my Duokan.

I installed Duokan on my Kindle DX and love it.
I never want to boot into the Amazon Software again as Duokan is simply better in everything.

I miss one thing though:
How do I lookup words in the Oxford Dictionary?

Hey Guys,
is it possible to get 3G connection with the new version from Duokan? if yes, how? thank you in advance.

@thomass: - this error is probably because the update_duokan_0xxxx.bin remain in the root directory.
This file was automatically removed during an successful install. It makes Amazon OS think there is one of theirs.

About usbnetwork: Duokan has used this all the time, but it is rather messy to have it in Chinese
Their use of it, is limited to accessing the bookstores.

@joshualintag: "How did you edit the ebook3.img?"
I did not really do that. Have intalled new hard-drives, and I would have to check the old drives. Another fellow posted
an modification. Search the thread-postings on this site and you may find it.
( I did give it a go, but choosed to await the situation. )

@kelbek: no 3G available.

@wizkoder: there are many post on dictionaries, howto install and use them. However, depending on your
Duokan version, it may not work properly. Recent changes has left some uncorrected bugs.

Hi,
for my first post in this forum, i would say thanks to Duokan Developers and everyone here for questions answered and their creativities. I installed Duokan after reading first book and it's great for my huge `chm' collection.
I couldn't find any good English documentations and help but here. so i hope it be right place for my question:
Is Duokan project is Open Source/Free Software? If source code was available, maybe porting some application from GNU/Linux be possible. for example i love to have lynx browser in my device and that program has little dependencies.

-----
Sorry for my bad English

Better then my Chinese ( which is zero )

It is difficult to see how it can not be open source - but I cannot answer the legal questions. Down the road, they seem to say it will be opened, while this is not quite according to how these things should work. So currently - there are no released source.

Another nice feature could be an API - which could then help to integrate a browser and other functions. Lynx would be a nice candidate.

Thanks for your respond. yes. an API could be very handy. but since _ i think _ Duokan is very Linuxish, maybe porting be very easy with available source code. I see great features in Duokan and Kindle for geeks. in opposite of Pocket-PCs or other handhelds i had before.

Today i faced with a problem. can anyone read PDFs with owner password protected? owner password is only necessary for changing in document. but i can't read them in Duokan. even can't read them on my GNU/Linux machines.
