Heads up for those not following my development thread: I just posted a Reader with customizable number of page turns between screen refreshes!

For example, on my T1 /data/data/com.sony.drbd.ebook.reader is owned by UID 10006 (and GID 10006) but /data/data/com.sony.drbd.ebook_mod.reader is owned by UID 10046 (and GID 10006). Under /data/data/com.sony.drbd.ebook.reader there's a directory called shared_prefs and a file in there called com.sony.drbd.ebook.reader_preferences.xml and the permissions on that file are read/write for the user and group, but no access for everyone else. Cheers, Simon. |

I've set my reader shared prefs file to mode 664, and then changed the default font size and that at least didn't reset the permissions. I'll see if it sticks or gets reset at some stage. The sledgehammer would be for your app to run as root but that does seem like overkill. Off topic - there's a pref in the xml called SpreadDirection, set to 0. Does that make any sense to anyone? Cheers, Simon. |

@Morkl,
On the subject of font-sizes and building on your sterling work so far... The Sony reader app has a choice of 8 (which admittedly is an improvement on the earlier models), however, I expect I'm not alone in finding it not as good as it might be. I was wondering if it would be possible to give the user more control of what those 8 sizes are, by fine-tuning the size increase between one setting and the next? |

I've tried both the modified Reader and the standard Reader after changing the default font size to the largest setting. Both still use the (normal) second smallest font size. I've reverted the permissions on the pref file back to the way they were originally, and still no change. I've opened books that I haven't yet opened on this device but still the same. I'd never changed the default font size setting before, so I don't know what I'm looking for. It seems like it should be a lot simpler than this! Cheers, Simon. |

If I open a new book with the default reader the book opens at size 4. If I open a new book with the modified reader the book opens at size 2. Do I care? No, not really, because once you set the size for a book it's remembered forever after. If this is the tiny price I pay to get all your improvements I'll take it any day (IMO only of course). |

Any chance to make Sony PRS T1 stock reader to display notes and TOC in unicode? It's really not helpful when I see ???????? marks in squares. Please, can you do anything about that? Thanks! Last edited by giosa; 01-20-2012 at 01:12 PM. |

Install the modified reader app and then you can try any of the fonts. If none of them work, you can install your own font and put it in the font menu. Problem solved.

Thanks. I did install mod reader. I tried sylfaen.ttf it shows fonts correctly. But it crashes when I try to go to notes to see if my bookmarks show correct characters. Any suggestion?
