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 Last edited by martyndwheeler; 01-26-2021 at 12:56 PM. |

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. |
