Feature request: white on black

Michele Clinco · 08-26-2009, 09:25 AM

Hallo guys!
Thanks for your excellent work.

I have a request:

A friend of mine is visually impaired, so the capability to increase the font size makes an e-ink device a better choice than plain paper books.

The only remark is that he can read reversed (white on black) text better than the standard black in white.

I believe that it is common to many visually impaired persons because the high contrast modes predefined in WIndows for them, for example, have this charateristic.

Is it possible to implement the 'reverse' in Openinpot?

Ciao, Michele

I wish this could be done for my 505.

This can already be done in Coolreader.

To try it out, long-press the number of the book you want to open, and choose 2. CR3 (which is CoolReader). The, press Menu -> 8. Settings ; 3. Inverse display; and press OK.

Done!

Doesn't work (yet) in FBReader, though.

It works!

I did not see it because I was using a Mobipocket files. With an rtf I was able to see that also the standard BeBook firmware uses another version CoolReader where the "reverse" was also present.

Thank you for the hint.

Bye!
