Application error when opening pdf on PW1

Hi,

I have just jailbroken my PW (5th gen kindle) and installed (after putting latest 5.6.1.1 fw back on device):

KUAL
MR package installer
KPV Booklet
KOREADER

I have put some pdf files into the documents folder but when I select them it says:
"Application Error, The selected application could not be started, Please try again."

I can open the file if i go through KUAL but I thought that they would open from the front page.

This is my first time hacking a kindle so amny advice would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Martyn

If you open a PDF from the front page the amazon kindle native PDF reader is used. There is no way around this. You have to start koreader to use it to open a book.

Thanks for the response. I guess that I didn't fully understand the details on the installation instructions on the koreader website (https://github.com/koreader/koreader...Kindle-devices)

"via KPV Booklet
Just open any book from the native system, all files except for mobi and txt will be opened with KOReader.

NOTE: On some recent FW versions, KPVBooklet may be non-functional. You may also need a tweaked version of KUAL. Again, check MobileRead's Kindle Dev forum.

NOTE: KPVBooklet may have some issues that don't happen with KUAL: Screensaver issues, White screen occasionally while reading epub files, White screen after waking up."

My mistake, KPV Booklet is before my time, and I hardly ever use koreader or open PDF.

Someone else will need to help you.
