I started the wifi upgrade download about 2 hours ago - before you posted this. After about 90 minutes, I decided it was time to give up, as the screen still showed a down arrow at the top, & a "1" character next to the arrow. Checking the "Download" screen revealed it failed at 73% ** I suppose it would be useful if the DK L team could implement a "progress bar" or changing numbers to show that the download is still going ahead? In the meantime, anyone getting this update via wifi can periodically check the time at the top of the screen, & if it's several minutes behind, it means the download failed. The broadband connection here is usually ok, but of course there will probably be many routes the packets take, so I've no idea where the problem was. The arrow & character 1 remain on screen until the failed download is deleted. I think a failed download can be continued, but as I've now installed from the file itself, I've deleted the bad download file. Anyway, thanks to your link, I'm now downloading the update file via my mac. I suspect for some people, having access to the file will be more reliable than a wifi update. I'll post back later if there's anything useful to mention Ok, successfully installed the file, which reports as Lite1104.2045 The wifi icon is now at the left top of screen. There's a "Not I..." string adjacent to the wifi rays, presumably it means "Not installed" & comes from the failed wifi update? However, it won't go away, even after file deleted. There is now a useful % charge indicator adjacent to the battery symbol. There are now 4 "system" pages, & the language setting is now on Page 1, not as specified in the file contents "installation.txt". You can now add "notes" or comments to a line in a book, but unfortunately, a press of the spacebar is not registered so notes aren't really practical yet. There seems to be less delay in the audio player volume icon responding to a change of volume I don't know what "1. mail sync as well as amazon" means yet..... TTS seems to work. More testing now........ ** In fact, I now see that the Kindle can continue to be used whilst a download is in progress, so if you go to the "Download" page (via the menu) you can monitor the download progress, & even continue a failed download I've just been testing the resume downloads feature, as DK L reported an update available already! The download stopped several times, but eventually succeeded after I resumed each failure. My new version is 1105.2124 Last edited by tvjohn; 11-05-2011 at 11:42 AM. Reason: updates |

And in regards to the download, the download manager gives a good display on the %, the down arrow with a number at the top is just how many concurrent jobs there are. It looks like they are very short on bandwidth for the wifi update tho, I get a 300k burst every 5-6 seconds, but it's incredibly slow compared to when I tried on a non-release day. I'm finishing off english translations of most of the header images, as well as a new translation file and perhaps a better basic dict for En-En, since the default one is pretty limited. |

Here's a short bug list: "Can not open this book" error message for valid ePubs. Duokan won't open some ebooks if they contain non-English characters. For example, Duokan displays this error message for Jellby's ePub version of Les trois mousquetaires, which passed epubcheck with flying colors. OTOH, it opened dpierron's version of Le petit prince without any problems even though epubcheck reports 120 errors for it. Incorrect StarDict word segmentation algorithm implemented When I tested the dictionary feature with German and French ePubs I noticed that all accented characters are apparently considered word delimiters. For example, if the cursor is positioned before troisième, Duokan looks for troisi in the dictionary. The same goes for German umlauts and other special characters. This renders the lookup feature useless for languages other than English and Chinese. PDF Reflow menu option still in Chinese PDF reflow is one of the most useful features of Duokan besides RTL support. Unfortunately, the PDF Reflow menu option is still in Chinese. (See screen capture.) |

Ah, I see, thank you. I suspect you're right about someone other than yourself sending files. Is that only 1 way, ie. emailer to Kindle, do you know? FTP is handy for example if you have something like an iPad, where you can transfer files both ways - your Kindle can supplement iPad's storage, & you could transfer photos to Kindle, all without a "conventional" computer I must have been editing whilst you posted Today is the first time I've tried a wifi update & I imagine their server's really busy! Be nice to see your efforts on translation, thanks. |

I have registered with an email address, sent a test email, but nothing appears in the "Downloads" page. However, a more serious problem that's just arisen is that I've never set a password for my Kindle, but after the new update install of 1105.2124, it's switched to standby & is now prompting for a password, so presumably DK L team has a default passord? What is it please so I can use my Kindle? Edit: Never mind, I'm back in Kindle Thank you Last edited by tvjohn; 11-05-2011 at 02:25 PM. |

Hi
I got a kindle a few days ago and was about to return it as there was soo much restriction on it. Such as Only audible audiobooks would work . ( I have lots of audiobooks ) The mp3 player is a single function blind player. Absolutely no functionality. After a bit of searching I found some hacks but couldnt get to far with them as I needed things like launchpad . I also found Duokan and thought it would be the answer to my problems but it seems it is not what I expected. So my questions now are Can I jailbrake the kindle ( again) now I have doukan? I had to unjailbrake to install doukan.) Do I even need to or can I get a browser and mp3 player and audio player working within Duocan? any help is appreciated. Cheers walklikegump |

There is no real browser at the moment - it's a reader; It sounds like you're looking for a tablet rather than a reader, perhaps look at returning it and getting something that better fits your needs. |

A few bugs/issues - I cant remember where we're meant to send English bug reports
Deleting or re-ordering dictionaries currently seems to break them. - i.e if you delete a spare dictionary it both stops allowing any dictionary lookups as well as not deleting the dict. If you reorder them, it also seems to break usage until you restart DK. There are quite a few strings in the settings/PDF viewer which don't have translation strings, could you run an export for all valid translatable strings? The message about having no dictionaries installed is in Chinese, however there's also meant to be a translation, however it's not used at the moment. What format are you using for your bmp's? Some are standard 24bil, however some seem to use 2/5bit channels - I want to replace some of the images with English translations (tho this requires reinstalling :/), however I'd like to at least follow the format that has been set. The "Secure Screensaver" setting, if you go to the setting once it's already, it will give you the current password - it should require the current password to allow you to change it. When going from screensaver -> secure password, the 'enter' key does not work, it uses the middle button from the 5-way pad. On the kindle it uses the enter key, which seems more logical. The time/clock seems to be a bit broken in this release, it used to keep time correctly, now it seems to stop while connected to usb or something. Last edited by Serpentine; 11-07-2011 at 10:32 PM. Reason: the clock |

I have one already , I really need a reader so I can read in bed better and so I can have something that doesnt run out of power half way through a long bus journey. Was just hoping for an audiobook player that was less restrictive, but no worries , I probably have 5 mp3 players around the house. cheers walklikegump |
