KOReader beginner's questions
Hi there! I've just successfully jailbroken my Kindle PW5 and installed KOReader. I'm SO impressed and happy with its functionality so far!! Obviously though, it is a very robust program offering a ton of settings and customization options, and I'm running into areas where I have questions that I haven't been able to successfully figure out myself.
If anyone could weigh in on these, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer some insight on these questions! Last edited by jnikkir; 05-01-2022 at 06:01 PM. |

1. Nope.
2. Probably, but that's not something I'm familiar with (and/or I fix it when building the CBZ). 3. Not familiar with the Cloud stuff. 4. Not as such, but you can save two profiles, one for day, one for night, and toggle between them via the Gesture/Profile manager. 5. IIRC, it's dictated by the screen's aspect ratio (so, no ;p). 6. No. 7. Custom metadata (i.e., document-specific settings & stats) have been written for this book (which generally means "you've opened this book once before"). 8. Less bugs with the first one ;p. 9. Yep, it'll make it in Soon(TM). |

2. It's a bit confusing, but "writing direction" doesn't have anything to do with that. That's about reflow/OCR stuff. Use the top menu for page turning direction.

Thanks so much for your insight! Here's what I ended up doing to fix the first few items, in case this helps anyone else in the future:
And I'll be very excited to see the page turn animation feature in a later update. Thanks so much!! |

In the [Document] tab of the top menu when inside a document, IIRC. (Either in the "Page turns" or "Navigation" submenus).

As I'm a KoReader beginner I hope it's OK to ask this question here.
In the KoReader Android app I've set up a couple of simple user styletweaks to have my preferred colour settings for "day mode" (black on beige) and "night mode" (amber on black). This all works OK apart from the fact that it's quite a lot of key presses to switch between one and the other. I had hoped I may be able to use a gesture to speed things up but I don't see a way to access styletweaks in the Gesture Manager. Is this actually possible? or am I using the wrong tool for the job? Any advice welcome. |

The former (I couldn't answer the latter anyway, as I'm not a profile/gesture/dispatcher user ;p).

The feature will be available in the next nightly build.
