As for 'going forward', just press the 'Left' button. Yes, it's, like, SOOOOOoooo totally counterintuitive, but what can I say, no one listened to *my* suggestion. Derek |

Still, Madshelf will recognize the ebook files and FBReader will open them - non-drm'd of course. Derek |

If you've had any chance to look at a Bookeen Cybook Gen3 in action with a typical mobi ebook, you'll have seen that any hyperlink can be 'highlighted' by pressing the "Left", "Up", "Down" or "Right" buttons on the navigation control. If there are more than one in a displayed page, pressing these keys repeatedly move up ("Left" and "Up") or down ("Down" or "Right") the links on the page. (Note that if one is already on the "last" or "first" link and one keeps pressing "Down" ( last link) or "Up" (first link) one goes to the next page. If a link is highlighted and one presses the central button of the navigation control, the link is "clicked". Unfortunately, FBReader, while displaying them as underlined text, ignores the links. Or, rather, it does so on the Cybook. ***Added**** Oh! I get it! I'd need to dedicate a key or key combo to the idea of "Next" and "Previous"! Too bad I'm a user not a hacker.

Tought I would give it a try
I followed the instructions for using this on my reader:
1. Copy update_kernel, reloaded.o, initrd.igz and zImage files from this archive to a card. 2. Copy rootfs file to the internal memory - Copied this to the system folder on the book reader Booting ----------------- 1. Shut the device off. 2. Disable card write protection if you have rootfs on it. 3. Turn the device on and hold the 'center' button until the green LED blinks. 4. After a long time, Madself will show up. Did all the above, after the main Bookeen logo came up the led flashed on then off so I released the button and the a blank screen came up, the LED remained on and I waited a long time but nothing loaded. Any idea where I went wrong? I also tried following the suggestion of copying rootfs to the second partition on the reader by re sizing the existing 500mb partition and adding a 100mb partition. Unfortunately when it booted I ended up with a checkered display on the screen. Well something else to fix now :-( I am running Book reader version 1.1 build 708 on a Bookeen Book reader with 500mb so is one of the later models. |

I just put the rootfs file in the top director of the SD card and it worked perfectly. You should probably put in in the top of the internal card. But I have an old Cybook.

Madshelf displays 3 folders, Music, Pictures and eBooks, it also displayes the other files on the SD card such as zImage, update_kernal, rootfs etc I also noticed that the LED stays lit. With my mobi pocket books it displays three files, .mbp, .prc and .t2b When I open a mobipocket file it takes while to load and the result is just rubish text, however re starting Madshelf enabled me to open a MobiPocket book ok, just need to find out how to turn off Auto Hyphenations. Only managed to exit a book once back to the book shelf, think I did it by using the power button, did not work a second time though and had to do a reset. Still very early days yet, look forward to trying out the next build Last edited by CJBarrow; 08-27-2008 at 01:56 PM. |

The power button is escape so it should exit a book or go up one level in the directory structure.

- with the Up and Down key, you move from link to link or from page to page if there is no link on the current page - with the Left and Right buttons you move from page to page, even if there are some links displayed on the page This difference is pretty important, because you don't have to go through all the links in a TOC to go to the second page of the TOC. As a side note, this project looks very interesting, especially the part where you don't have to flash the Cybook to use OpenInkPot. |
