Internet Browser with Page Flipping instead of Scrolling

This add-on (different from the one mentioned previously) for Firefox does the specific thing under discussion here: it adds page flipping -- with forward and backward buttons, and an easily customized overlap between pages.

It bills itself thus: "Read your Firefox like a book! Adds side buttons to scroll pages with one click, just like on Kindle."

I've tested it, and it does exactly what the original poster wants in Firefox -- and I would certainly consider it a valuable tweak to the Kobo browser; I agree, scrolling is awful on E Ink screens:

This was a really old thread that was in the Kobo forum. Thought I would resurrect it but over here on this forum.

Anyone know what happened to this addon? Or have an alternative to this? The browser that comes with my Boyue T62+ is ridiculious to use.

Hi. I do believe that is for Firefox which is a browser. I do not know if Firefox can be installed on an Onyx.
PS: I will report this post to get it moved to the Onyx forum.

Well what I'm actually looking for is a internet browser that's optimised for eink. And reading that may sounded interesting. Not really Onyx related

If you run the a2 / no-flash refresh mode, it makes reading in a browser a lot more pleasant (i.e. it scrolls without flashing, like a tablet).

Thanks, downloaded NoRefreshToggle.apk to see if that would run on my Boyue T62+.

That's for the Nook. It won't work with an Onyx. There is a no-refresh mode developed for the Sony T1 which is more likely to work.

In any case...I believe the Onyx comes with a built-in A2 mode. Try googling it.
