JDRead t65s alternative app for epub

[giotti]

Hello,
using the default app for epub books on my t65s I am experiencing a couple of problems (see the attached image):
* the apostrophe (reading Italian books) are often on a new line;
* the spacing before a comma on short lines are often too wide.

Do you know of any good light alternative app?

Thanks a lot.

That's true : the default app has no hyphenation
So use Moon+ Reader free,
or Moon+ Reader Pro shareware nearly 5 euros (some more customizations)
both are perfect

Thanks. Do you know where I can find the apk?

PS As far as I know I have to put it on the ereader in order to use it, since I can't see the playstore...

Do you know how I can set the home button to exit instead of back?

Thanks a lot.

It sounds like your device lacks a proper home key and the "home" key is just remapped to the back key. That's usual on certain e-ink devices, like new Onyx. Applications are not allowed to remap the home button.

What you can do to workaround the stupidity of your manufacturer is disable "back history". See https://github.com/koreader/koreader...ment-451175347, which contains a screenshot. Go to navigation and modify things accordly.

If you disable back history the new behaviour would be:

on FM, press the fake home button once to exit the app (FM->launcher)
on Reader, press the fake home button twice to exit the app (Reader->FM->launcher)


Maybe I didn't understand you and your device has a non faked home button. In that case it should work as is to return to your launcher. The rest of the keys can be remapped on a per-device basis. See https://github.com/koreader/koreader...customize-keys

Thanks a lot. The workaround works as you described.

Glad it worked! If you find the program good for your needs you might want to help us to add support for e-ink refreshes on your device (if that's actually possible). We have a little tool buried on the program that you can activate from the (KOReader) file manager, go to tools -> developer -> start e-ink test and see if one of the buttons does refresh the e-ink screen.

With pleasure!
The "freescale/ntx update" button performs the refresh.
Not the other two.

I hope this helps. Let me know if I can be of further help.

PS I'm on koreader stable February 2020.

Cool.

We need the data you saw on your screen. See https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/4551. You can paste device id here instead of github, if you want.

Thank you!
