Kindle-KOReader

JosephWebber · 09-24-2015, 02:27 PM

I have just installed Duokan 2014 on my Paperwhite 1 without jailbreaking; no problems so far and it reads epubs so I'm happy.
I know what your views are on Duokan so I have three questions on KOReader.
1 Can I install it without jailbreaking (because I really don't want to jailbreak my Kindle)?
2 Apart from the ethical issues, what are the feature advantages of KOReader over Duokan?
3 Duokan's documentation is practically nonexistent. Is there any comprehensive documentation on KOReader including shortcuts etc?
Many thanks.

No. Duokan includes its own jailbreak and jailbreak certificate -- whatever reason you have for not wanting to jailbreak applies there too. But you will have to re-jailbreak as KOReader uses the standard MobileRead combined developer keystore, and Duokan uses the Duokan private keystore.
I don't know, but I believe they do more than just an EPUB reader.
Take a look at the official KOReader Wiki: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki
