Kindle -- KOReader: a document reader for PDF, DJVU, EPUB, FB2, HTML, ... (GPLv3)

[Frenzie]

I mainly hoped to motivate others to improve upon it. I'm afraid I haven't really had much time to look at it. That was one year ago already? Wow.

As an aside, while really stupid in principle, reflow actually works tremendously well on a MuPDF-rendered EPUBs.

I do apologize for not at least giving you the following information more explicitly, although at the time I hadn't actually tried it like I did now. As a basic workaround you could mod the PdfDocument file yourself like this:

diff --git a/frontend/document/pdfdocument.lua b/frontend/document/pdfdocument.lua
index 34f072e9..14ae115d 100644
--- a/frontend/document/pdfdocument.lua
+++ b/frontend/document/pdfdocument.lua
@@ -42,6 +42,8 @@ function PdfDocument:init()
     if not ok then
         error(self._document)  -- will contain error message
     end
+    local Screen = Device.screen
+    self._document:layoutDocument(Screen:getWidth(), Screen:getHeight(), 50)
     self.is_open = true
     self.info.has_pages = true
     self.info.configurable = true

In a diff file, + means added lines and - means removed lines.

So basically just add those two lines in that location:

    local Screen = Device.screen
    self._document:layoutDocument(Screen:getWidth(), Screen:getHeight(), 50)

The "50" here is a font size value that you can play around with.

The problem is integrating it properly into the UI, and even purely code-wise that's a just quick hack instead of proper code that can actually go into the program.

But of course perfection is the enemy of progress. Proper code + configuration first, UI later. I can't promise anything though; my spare time may be limited.

To report success!!

Sorry for knocking insistently at your door.

I tried your patch, inserting manually these two lines with 50 value and it fits exactly. The display is perfect (at least on some pages of the trial ePub) with the same amount of lines per page it is intended to have.

As far as I am concerned, I shall keep it this way until further notice and shall test further this new muPDF ePub renderer. I'll need some days for it and shall report back here asap.

Is somewhere a picture of the touch screen Functions, where i can see, what happens when touching ina certain area?

[Ken Maltby]

Actually, you would need two main pictures and some sub-pictures for them, plus a number to cover the various plugins and the screens they may generate. For most of them you would also need to have a way to show the results for both a tap and a "long press". The various swipe gestures would be needed as well.

Perhaps, someone running the emulator could find a way to run a video capture program like is done for games. Then a video could be produced that would show the effects of the many touchscreen gestures. A "moving finger" cursor might be needed. It could be added in post editing.

Luck;

Hello. I can not download books on opds by addresses.
coollib.com/opds
flibustahezeous3.onion.link/opds

catalog navigation works.

[Frenzie]

coollib.com/opds uses HTTPS and redirects

It's a known issue that redirects aren't supported in combination with HTTPS in our current luasec/luasocket backend.

For your particular case, it can be worked around like this:

Perhaps someone would like to flesh that out a bit more?

Thank! It really works. In those links where I could not download books, download now takes place.
Although he writes that he could not download the book. But in fact, the book appears in the file manager.

Sorry for my English.

[Frenzie]

Yes, it's just a proof of concept hack.

Answers received. Thank.

The buttons are iffy on the Voyage because of Amazon shenanigans. Amazon being Amazon, and the lack of interested devs with the device means we probably won't ever get to the bottom of this quirk.

How to change the size and font of the top status bar? A very small battery, and the percentage of charge I generally can not see.

Anybody managed to use KOReader on KT4?

I installed koreader-kindlepw2-arm-kindlepw2-linux-gnueabi-v2019.05 over a jailbroken KT4 (i.e. Kindle 10th generation "basic") with KUAL, but when trying to open it jumps back to home screen.
The other installer variants (kindle and legacy) do not work too.

NiLuJe's already on it. KT4 support should be coming in the nightlies soon.

Thank for the quick answer!

The new pw2 build does open, but, when opening the file manager it displays the quickstart guide and hangs...
