Koreader running on Kobos (all of them, hopefully!)

[xping]

I am experiencing less responsiveness in menus on kobo aura (mark 5). There is a lot of render improvement. PDF reflow is almost perfect but with these issues:

1) Menus are very slow to appear and to be selected.
2) If PDF reflow is activated it works fine, but if U select bigger font the reader become unusable (almost 15/30 secs to turn page or to make menu appear)

thx

Now before I disable this and completely forget it even exists, can you tell me what I should be experiencing if I enable it and everything works correctly ?

1) not a problem on my kindle paperwhite.

2) probably the same reason as in the first case in https://github.com/koreader/koreader...roubleshooting. Please don't enlarge font size for an A4 page with a hinting number of 2. Probably no eink readers have enough spare RAM for the operation at this time.

Thx. The problem was solved setting 1 as hint number instead of default 2 in defaults.lua

Only one more question:

Is there any way to avoid showing last line of the screen "broken"??

Often the last line is not entirely visible cause it is plotted with less pixels than necessary. Could it be possible to avoid drawing last line if there are not enaugh pixels, and to move this line to next page?. I think this is the last ugly thing that prevents koreader to be considered a professional reader.
Thx

I'm assuming you are talking about PDF reading here. There are around 30 pixels overlap between two successive page turns. In most case if the last line in the first page turn is shown only a half, the whole line will be shown in the second page turn. I will make the overlap height configurable in defaults.lua.

Just tested nightly build 937. I see a lot of improvement since the last time I checked, so thanks everyone involved for the good work!

The mini progress bar is a neat feature, though it only displays correct on my Aura HD. On the 6" Aura it is half hidden beneath the bottom bezel. Is there a way to adjust this in a *.lua file?

Probably not. This is a known issue only on Kobo Aura. And discussions can be found here.

Aaah thanks a lot, that explain why I was jumping around in incomprehensible ways through my document ;p

I wander if Koreader has programmable tap-zones?

Just reporting a couple bugs through my Aura HD. Made a quick video to demonstrate here

Cheers!

How do I get the dictionary to work for PDFs? Or can't I?

Just downloaded last firmware (3.2.0) on kobo aura Mark 5 (non HD)

Well, now koreader is unable to return to nickel. It freezes on exit, showing a small sing on the right of the screen.
then U have to power off device and to restart it again

Any cue?

SOVLED:

How I was thinking, the strange sign on the right of the screen after exiting was an attempt to reset the screen on last "saved" before entering.

so that i commented last line of Koreader_kobo.sh:


# continue with nickel
# cat .last_screen_content | /usr/local/Kobo/pickel showpic
# rm .last_screen_content
killall -CONT nickel

Nice to know xping! I'm downloading 3.2.0 right now and I'll check the behaviour. If this is not happening on Glo, I could ask you to do some tests, mainly checking if the file .last_screen_content is correctly created.

Thanks :-) I have recently updated my Touch firmware. It worked on my device :-)
