Last read page
At starting my Onyx Boox Note 3 not the last read page I read appears, but the overview of folders. and I've to go through several maps before I found back the author and book I was reading.
I cannot find a setting that let the last read page appear immediately at starting the eReader again. Can someone point me to such a setting? Regards, Gunivortus |

In the power options change power-off timeout from 15 minutes or whatever it is to something like 1 day or never. What you're running into is the reader turning off instead of just sleeping.

Good to know. Still, I'd like the last page kept also after power off. :-) |

Hmm, I've never run into this. Even if a device is powering down it should have suspended the application some time before at which the application should have used the opportunity to save last reading point. Moreover, if it had ever done this you should at least get a LRP of a few chapters back from the last successful save.

If you set the device to never power off automatically it will keep the last page in memory as long as the battery pack has a charge too because it's just sleeping. Last edited by salamanderjuice; 05-29-2022 at 10:45 AM. |

Oh, if I remember well, it was an Icarus Illumina Pro. It's a while back.

I think we're talking about two different things: whether your page is visible when you hit the power switch or whether you have to hit "Last Read" first.
(I'm not exactly familiar with the kreader, but I have a button on my (custom) launcher for "Last Read".) |

I have not seen a setting at my Boox Note 3 for 'last read'.

There's nothing in the Onyx stuff to just go directly to LRB/LRP?
I use my Poke3 almost exclusively for reading. Normally it's only sleeping and I can just open the (magnetic) cover to where I'm reading. OTOH, I do lots of hacking so I reboot often. I could have it boot up directly to LRB/LRP, but I prefer just going to my launcher in case I want to switch to a parallel book. Normally your "library" app and your "reader" app are part of the same ecosystem. The library has to keep track of what you're reading and the reader has to save the LRB/LRP when it gets suspended. I would think that if you start the reader app without giving any extra data in the intent it would naturally open the LRB/LRP. If there is no button or shortcut you could write one yourself, but it would have to match/know about how the library/reader is structuring the data in the database. |

Library, Shop, Notes, Storage, Apps, Settings That's all. Just did a software update, but that didn't change it. But the workaround from salamanderjuice is workable. I too only use the device for reading only. All other options like play music, making drawings I've never used. |

Just out of curiousity, back out of your book and try:
Code:
# am start -n com.onyx.kreader/.ui.ReaderHomeActivity |
