I've started using KOReader on my Pocketbook Touch HD 3 and I'm trying to find the optimal gesture settings for me. I would like to use the settings for "hold corner" but then this interferes with dictionary lookup, i.e. if I long tap on a word in a corner to look it up in the dictionary, the configured action takes place instead. Is there a trick to use both functions, for example the duration of the tap?

Percentage read in screensaver text
Hi everyone,
This is one feature I miss from the stock Kobo firmware, the ability to see the percentage read on the screen while the device is asleep. I know I can see the book status but it's not quite the same.
Anyway, I did a bit of digging and managed to modify screensaver.lua so that it appends the string " (93% read)" to the default screensaver text if screensaver_message is not set, and it works pretty well. It's a bit of a hack as you have to edit settings.reader.lua and delete the screensaver_message entry but it works as a proof of concept.
I'm just wondering if the powers that be think that this might be something worth adding in more properly? Maybe as a checkbox in the settings dialog? Or else maybe have a special identifier (like %p) that you can put in your screensaver text that gets substituted with progress percentage? I'm quite happy to poke around a bit more and have a go at it myself but I don't really know what the process is and don't want to tread on anyone's toes.
Cheers,
james

Changing fonts
I've noticed that with 2016.07 (and possibly some previous versions) if a font is declared in the CSS of an EPUB and that font exists on the reader it is only possible to select another font by de-selecting "use embedded styles". De-selecting "use embedded fonts" does not work (it may do if the font is actually embedded in the document but I don't have any EPUBS with embedded fonts to try it on).
This is quite an annoyance as having to deselect embedded styles upsets many other settings such as paragraph indents and spacing.
Is this intentional ? I may be wrong but I thought that a previous version would allow changing fonts.
This is on the Android version - I haven't checked things yet on Kobo.

Quick Question
Hi all.
I've looked in the forums and wiki but I can't seem to figure out why that when I reflow text on a PDF that the output is always in B&W. Even when I have checked "Color Rendering" in Koreader settings. I'm using an Android device, Alcatel Tetra.
Any advice or help here? Thanks!

Can't change minibar font size.
I have been trying to increase the size of the font in the mini status bar on KOReader. On my Kobo version using advanced edit and adjusting the entries for :
DMINIBAR_CONTAINER_HEIGHT = 14
DMINIBAR_FONT_SIZE = 14
To size 20 gives me a more readable size.
However on my Android version if I make that change it doesn't take effect and if I check again it shows 14 (both before and after a re-start).
AIUI these values should be written to default.lua, however I cannot locate a file with that name on the reader. If I create one with the above entries (size 20) it is ignored. Where does KOReader expect to find default.lua - I have placed it in the /koreader folder where there is an empty default.persistent.lua.
How can I adjust the font size - on Android advanced settings doesn't work and neither does trying to create by hand a default.lua file.
Currently using 2016.07

What's the best way to read a 2-column pdf in Koreader?
How can I read a paper which usually look like this one ?
Zoom to column shows me only the left column.
If there is no Koreader solution is there some other way?

speeding up searches from PW4
I have fuzzy search enabled, and only the GNU english collaborative dictionary enabled and lookups seem to take *forever*. only sore spot in my opinion for koreader.
i would turn off fuzzy search but it seems if i do, and i want to cancel the lookup half way thru (for taking too long) there's no way to do it.
any ideas?
thanks!

KOReader doesn't open large, complex ebooks?
Hi all,
I recently found out that KOReader (on any platform, Android app included) can't open large (i.e.: having a lot of pages) and complex (i.e.: having a lot of links, references, etc...) epubs.
As a test book anybody can access to for free I use the 2013 revision of Jehovahs Witnesses Bible (https://download-a.akamaihd.net/file.../7d/nwt_E.epub ): never been able to open it, KOReader stays "thinking" forever...
Any idea?
It's really a bug?
Bye

I'm using KOReader on an Icarus eink device and it's working like a charm. Great work.
I noticed today that it doesn't recognize the strong tag (<strong>) as bold text in an epub.

Can I turn off swiping to increase font size?
When I try to change frontlight intensity by swiping with two fingers, I often end up increasing font size which I don't want to. Can I turn this feature off?

KoReader slow and unresponsive
Hi,
I am using the KoReader app on an Onyx Boox Note device (Android 6).
Since a while KoReader gets more and more unresponsive for me. Out of professional reasons, I have to read a lot - so my Book folders are relatively big. Since a while it is taking ages, when I start to browse my folders or want to see my highlights in a book I already did read.
Is there any way to make the reader responsive again?

Multiswipe recorder: don't see saved gestures?
I have recorded a few multiswipe combinations, ones that were not in the list by default, but they don't show up in the list after I click save. Am I looking in the wrong place? How do I assign an action to a recorded gesture?
Thanks.

Switch back from Koreader to Kobo
Hi,
I just discovered Koreader, I`ve put it on my Kobo Aura and it`s an improvement. Finally I get to see the files I put my epubs in. Many thanks to the developers .
A question : It`s very easy to switch from Kobo to Koreader but if I want to go back from Koreader to Kobo I have to restart. Is there a simpler way to switch back to Kobo ?
Thanks

PocketBook InkPad 3 SmartLight handling
I know there is no koreader developer owning a PocketBook device. That is really sad. Actually it is the easiest to install koreader on a PB, it is simply a copy-paste, no need jailbreaking or kfmon or stuff.
Isn't that possible to add SmartLight somehow to the frontlight dialog somehow anyway? As I remember seeing it, somebody compiled a CoolReader version especially for InkPad 3, with SMARTlight handling funcionality. Can it be checked how it was done and add it to koreader too?
Also a bit strange that on PB each action requires 1-3 additional touch to make it happen. Also, once in a while koreader freezes and the reader should be restarted. I know these are bugs but I am not sure if it is meaningful at all to create a new thread for it, if nobody could chase the issues...

Problem with August version
HI,
I downloaded and installed the August version. I set the 100 value for touch interval. After the change, I have big problems using pop up and top menu.
I touch and nothing happens, or - with pop up window - I'm not able to select a button (the window moves and the button is not pressed).
