Is it possible to associate epub books to this reader ? (for instance starting it after selecting a book from a shelf, replacing the built-in one)

regarding the other posts: I am trying to commit back all mods to the original koreader (avoiding a fork for kobos), so I'll see what I can take from your mods |

Launching with the KoboLauncher still gives me the corrupted nonresponsive File Manager display. I had a working KoReader with your first script, but I was stuck in it, maybe that was not so bad. Luck; Ken |

You can also slide the switch over for 60 seconds, and it should turn off. (Granted, I've had trouble a couple of times and had to use the reset hole.) The way your Aura gets stuck while rebooting is weird. I wonder if your file system is becoming corrupted with hard resets/powerdowns. |

Sorry to hear that. I don't really see how it could be causing that. It works fine here. But since I didn't get any other feedback, I've removed the launcher attachment, and just keep using it privately on my Glo. Last edited by xor_; 07-08-2013 at 04:57 PM. |

So far switching the light on and suspend mode are working fine, but after installing the files of koreader-cgm, the landscape menu at the bottom of the page has not changed. No extra icons, no option to configure the frontlight. I used the koreader-v2013.03-266-g4f36cd2.zip. Then I copied/replaced all files from koreader-cgm to /mnt/onboard/.kobo/koreader as it says in the README.txt. Device is Aura with firmware 2.6.1b. Any hint what I might have done wrong? |

If you're looking for the bug icon, I found it in the PDF reader but not the ePub reader. I haven't found the backlight settings yet. |

Still no luck with cbz on koreader-v2013.03-266-g4f36cd2 under 2.6.1
I get this crash log: Code:
lua config error: ./frontend/document/credocument.lua:75: calling 'zipContentExt' on bad self (string expected, got nil) stack traceback: [C]: in function 'zipContentExt' ./frontend/document/credocument.lua:75: in function 'init' ./frontend/document/document.lua:76: in function 'openDocument' ./reader.lua:125: in function 'showReader' ./reader.lua:174: in function 'onFileSelect' ./frontend/ui/widget/filechooser.lua:56: in function 'onMenuSelect' ./frontend/ui/widget/menu.lua:197: in function 'action' ./frontend/ui/uimanager.lua:132: in function 'checkTasks' ./frontend/ui/uimanager.lua:158: in function 'run' ./reader.lua:248: in main chunk |

(With the old XOR_ script): It doesn't get stuck while rebooting, it reboots just fine - only it reboots to the KoReader File Manager not out of KoReader and back to the Kobo UI. This is not really a problem for me as I am coming to prefer the KoReader. It is much more the all purpose ebook reader and not a frontend for Google Analitics or Kobo marketing. The hardware is great and with KoReader the software is headed in a better direction and has some potential. I find Kobo's Tile UI to be very attractive but totally annoying when I want to look through my collection for something to read. KoReader isn't very fancy looking but it is much more of the practical ereader. The Kobo readers have limited themselves to just the two most popular formats in Canada, while the KoReader can handle a goodly number right now and given the nature of its development will most likely be able to handle any others that obtain a following. For me that it can read the many .pdb (Palm/eReader) files that I have on hand is a big plus. For a Russian it might be .fb2. But the main thing that I find of use is the ability to have a truly large library of ebooks that I can look through. Luck; Ken Last edited by Ken Maltby; 07-08-2013 at 06:45 PM. |

The second version seems to do exactly what it's supposed to on my Glo. It's hard to remote-debug something like that. Oh well... |

It'll probably be a non-issue when koreader is more robust anyhow, since it'll make sense to remove nickle from the works altogether. As you said, it supports more file formats. It supports organizing ebooks into directories, which a lot of people demand (and I prefer personally, no matter how much I think it would be a bad design decision for Kobo), and the PDF viewer is just plain better than Kobo's. |
