PocketBook-KOReader: a document reader for PDF, DJVU, EPUB, FB2, CBZ, ... (AGPLv3) - Page 13

Just change it to what the other one said previously?

x=1/4 means where it starts (1/4 from the left of the screen), so if you change that to 0 it'll start at the dead left
w=3/4 means how wide the touch zone is, so changing it to 1/4 will make it where backward used to be. Or w=1 to cover the entire screen.

Thank you Frenzie!
It works, i am happy.

I gave some information on using gdb on a pocketbook device in the PB developer's forum. See the following post: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...27&postcount=2

Frenzie · 02-01-2019, 12:49 PM

Yeah, you can do much the same on Kobo and Kindle.

The process is detailed here.

(Or you could run gdb directly on the device, either way.)

Does anyone try to work with Japanese dictionary at KOreader? Does it work correctly? The Japanese dictionary on pocketbook at standard FBreader translates single glyphs, but the problem is that the dictionary can not translate the words with 2 or more glyphs.

You'd have to be a little bit more concrete for others to be able to test it. Note the distinction between fuzzy matching:

Code:

$ sdcv 日本語
save to cache /home/frans/.stardict/dic/stardict-jap-eng-2.4.2/jap-eng.idx
Found 1 items, similar to 日本語.
-->Japanese(Kanji)-English dictionary
-->日 [ひ]


(n-adv,n-t) sun sunshine day (P)

And exact matching:

Code:

$ sdcv -e 日本語
Nothing similar to 日本語, sorry :(

The one we can legally provide could also simply not be a particularly good dictionary.

Thanks. I'll try to install Koreader and test it.

Does anyone use Koreader regularly and successfully on their Pocketbook device? I have it installed on my InkPad 3, but I hardly use it because it keeps freezing and I have to restart the device. The latest version (2019-06) is really slow, and it's not really possible to change anything in the menus because of the freezes.

Zetmolm · 07-08-2019, 03:40 AM

I am using KOReader regularly now on my PocketBook Touch HD3. It is indeed slower than the native reading app or CoolReader, but I got used to the fact that I need to do a page turn when I'm in the middle of the last line of a screen. The latest version (2019-06) is not slower for me than the two or three earlier versions I had installed. I have never had any freezes with KOReader on my Touch HD 3.

LucyOne · 07-12-2019, 02:06 PM

I have installed KoReader on my Touch HD3 and it really works fine. No freezes so far. It's weird why it won't work so well on the InkPad 3. There I could really use it for PDFs.

LucyOne · 07-14-2019, 05:30 AM

Is the swiping to adjust the frontlight (right) and the light temperature (left) working in Koreader on any Pocketbook device?

Frenzie · 07-14-2019, 08:53 AM

I think "natural light" is only supported on Kobo and Cervantes devices. Someone would have to figure out how it works on PocketBook and implement it.

I do use it as my main reader on my Inkpad3. It works fine with epubs, freezing like 2 or 3 times a week on average. It used to be quite cumbersome with some pdfs, but saving them optimized in Acrobat is usually working wonders. (This is the first device I use koreader on, so I have no base for comparison.)

I'm on v11 with the InkPad 3 and it does freeze a lot.

Swiping to adjust brightness works. But I only see this option for brightness, not color temperature. If there is option for the color temp would like to know!

Frenzie · 11-11-2019, 05:26 PM

On devices where color temp is implemented it's brightness left, temperature right. Presumably it hasn't been implemented on PB yet. (It'd require a dev with a relevant device.)
