Does KOReader work on keyboard based Kindle Devices now?

hayden · 06-10-2018, 07:38 PM

This has been asked several times in the past to which the response has always been "KOReader doesn't support non-touch devices."

However, on the KOReader Kindle Installation Instructions page (which was last updated 25 days ago) it says:
"KOReader can be installed on all jailbroken Kindle devices."

So does it work on older devices such as the Kindle Keyboard now or not? It's hard to tell. I do have it install on my Kindle Keyboard at this point, however, I can't find instructions on how to use it once I've launched it. Everything says to touch the screen to launch options, but obviously I don't have a touch screen.

Thanks for the help!

It may be a bit rough around the edges, but it should nonetheless be mostly usable (provided you're using a recent nightly, might I add), with the DPad as your main navigation tool.

Ah, I didn't realize that I had to use the non-stable version for proper support. This helped a lot--thank you!
