Never made any custom tweaks, but I use some of the build in and are very handy.
I'm now away from my PC (vacations) with only my mobile with me and I wonder if there's a way to make all the <p class="ls" /> in an epub to <br/> or something else that KOReader recognize (just a blank line between paragraphs) using the custom style tweaks?
Tried to find where the existing ones are located so I could understand the format used, but had no luck.
I only found an empty folder (style tweaks?) inside the KOReader's directory.
Suppose I could create a new file using the Text editor?

Hi,
I'm still looking for a way to call readerfooter.lua functions from dispatcher.lua (for example, call "onUpdaterFooter()" ). I want to update the footer so that the update appears immediately on the screen. Can someone help me and tell me how to do it? Thank you.

In KoReader there is an option to move books to an Archive folder. As far as I can see to do this you need to actually have the book open and use an option.

It would seem sensible that the "move to archive" option should be included in the pop-up that appears when you have finished a book and/or should be available from the file manager without the book being open.

Have I missed something about how to shift books to the Archive ?

KOReader bug - start filemanager opens book

In January 2020 while running the version of KOReader (and KUAL and Kindle firmware) that was current at March 2019, the start the file manager and the start the file manger (ASAP) options stopped opening the filmanager and instead opened the last book. Both had previously been working for the around nine months since installing KOReader.

I know I had made no changes immediately before the fault developed (or for the nine months since jailbreaking) as I was a couple of weeks into an out of town trip without a computer and there was no WiFi to connect to. The only thing I did on the trip was occassionally exit KOReader to read PDFs in the native Kindle mode then relaunch KOReader.

In March 2020 I updated to the then current version of KOReader and the fault remained.

A few hours ago I updated KOReader, KUAL (coplate) and MRPI to the latest versions. The fault remains.

Sorry, I can't give steps to replicate as I've never resolved the fault. This problem is not a big inconvenience and I didn't find this problem reported anywhere else so I'm not expecting a fix but I thought the developers would like to know.

While translating KOReader I did find some lines I really don't understand. Could someone help me to understand what the following lines mean?

1. Pan delay interval
2. If called by a gesture the amount of the gesture will be used

Hi,

I've just switched to koreader and find the many options available to status bar.
I figured that pressing once on it will switch to the different status informations I've selected.
I'm wondering if it's possible to have several one on the same line side by side.

For example, I'de like to have:
Pages left in chapter, Progress percentage, current page and battery status on the same line.

Is it something possible ? I must admit that if yes, I have not found the option inside the settings.

Regards.

I'm using KOReader (currently 2020.08) for a long time on a KA1. It was KSM before and now with NickelMenu.

The problem occured both with KSM and now with NM, and with a long list of KOR versions.

And the problem -
When waking the KA1 after a long sleep (let's say a night) a lot of time I find the the font size of the book INCREASED. Never seen it decrease. Don't recall this happening with short sleeps.

Even more then being annoying (I like small fonts) this EATS the battery - I'm reading "the complete works of ...." (Delphi Classics) and other giant collections, and any such font resize eats battery.

Any idea of why and how to solve this will be appreicated.

I installed KOReader on my new Libra and am still exploring it. I tried activating the DropBox access. I put the token (long stream of letters and digits) into the box and hit go. I just got a dialogue about 'no such folder' or something similar. Does it actually work? I wondered if the wifi was off when I tried to activate it but I think it was on. All my books are on DropBox so its important to be able to access it. i since discovered an email from DropBox checking it was me... Perhaps I should again?

Hi all. I really like Koreader and I'm glad to see this feature rich E-book reader is updated frequently as well.

However, would someone be able to help me with these few issues? (I looked and I could not find out the answers to these specific questions)

1) This ones simple: Is there a way to remove chapter markers from the heading in an EPUB book (not to be confused with the status bar chapter markers).

2) This ones also simple: Why is it that when I bold a font, I do not get italics to show in my EPUB book but when I take off the bold the italics show. Is there a way to fix this?

3) I'm a bit confused on what the option "Flash every X pages" does in the gesture manager option category? I tired to use it with Reading progress (through a one finger swipe) but nothing really "flashed" after I told Koreader to flash every 2 pages.

I have Calibre Companion 5.4.4.19 on Onyx BOOX Poke 2 (Android 9)
and I use to open books directly from CC by clicking the Read button there to open Koreader (2020.08.01) with that book.

But this works only if Koreader was not running before, if KOReader was already open with another book before, it remains hanging.

I've collected logcat logs to see what is going on and see that CC starts Koreader apparently with this:
I ActivityManager: START u0 {act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=content://com.multipie.calibreandroid.provider/external/Calibre_Companion/Después del amor - Sonsoles Ónega.epub typ=application/epub+zip flg=0x10008001 cmp=org.koreader.launcher/.MainActivity} from uid 10083

and then, if KOreader was not running before I see later that it gets started and it opens.

If it was already open before, it shows these lines:

KOReader: Engine thread destroy requested!
KOReader: got error waiting for events: ffi/input_android.lua:168:
application forced to quit

and then it hangs ...

Not a huge problem for me as I know it, but perhaps easy to solve ?
Btw, I observed the same behaviour on my Samsung S7 mobile with Android 8 so it is not specific to Onyx device

Thanks, Norbert

Hello KOReader readers. :)

I would like to learn something about font management in KOReader. For example, I would like to use "Vollkorn".

http://vollkorn-typeface.com/
http://vollkorn-typeface.com/downloa...korn-4-105.zip

in the TTF folder of the zip file are the following files:

Code:

---

Vollkorn-Black.ttf
Vollkorn-BlackItalic.ttf
Vollkorn-Bold.ttf
Vollkorn-BoldItalic.ttf
Vollkorn-ExtraBold.ttf
Vollkorn-ExtraBoldItalic.ttf
Vollkorn-Italic.ttf
Vollkorn-Medium.ttf
Vollkorn-MediumItalic.ttf
Vollkorn-Regular.ttf
Vollkorn-SemiBold.ttf
Vollkorn-SemiBoldItalic.ttf

---

I have created the folder /koreader/fonts/vollkorn. How do I name the files? Or should KOReader automatically recognize regular, bold, italic etc.?

https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/Fonts

Does not answer the questiion :)

Chapter marks not showing with nested chapters

On PW4 I find epubs (epub2) with nested table of content entries like

(Begin table of contents)

Part One ........................ 1

Chapter 1 .............. 2

Section A ...... 3
Section B ...... 4

Chapter 2 .............. 5

Part Two ........................ 6

Chapter 3 .............. 7

Part Three ...................... 8

(End table of contents)

don't have the expected number of chapter marks appear in the status bar. In the example above I would expect 8 chapter marks (3 for the Parts (with Part One starting after some front matter), 3 for the Chapters, 2 for the Sections) but only 5 appear:

• Section A
• Section B
• Chapter 2
• Chapter 3
• Part Three

Have I missed a setting in KOReader?--please tell me what and don't read anymore since you understand the situation. Is this a known imperfection that no one else is worried about? Is this something people haven't queried before?

Perhaps my googlefu is weak but I never found anything similar. I ended up reading threads up to ten years old about chapters but they seemed to be things like people not having chapter marks with the cause being the book lacking a table of contents.

The particular file structure of the epub (single html with all TOC entries pointing to tags in that file; one html file per Part, Chapter and Section) is irrelevant. The only difference is, in the absence of styling rules to the contary, the automatic presence of a page break for a new html file.

The rule KOReader appears to be following is:

• draw a tree diagram based on the table of contents/navMap
• only draw chapter marks in the status bar for leaf nodes

This has the related effect that the counters for pages left in chapter and time to read chapter become useless. While reading the front matter they will be measuring to Section A, ignoring any and all other pages found at the start of Part One and Chapter 1. With fiction books being told it is dozens of pages to the next chapter when really it is counting to the first section break in the next chapter and the next chapter is 1 page away might help my bedtime as I'll put the book down. Not a big problem but a surprise in such a well crafted program.

This problem occurs with epubs with tables of content generated by the TOC tools in Sigil and Calibre as well as in books supplied with TOC by the publisher so it's not some problem I have invented by messing with TOC myself hence I wonder if I have missed a setting as asked above.

Hello everyone,
I've got KOReader on Android with books/files on cloud storage which I access with WebDAV. Every time I try to open book/file it does not open the book, but I can only download the file.

Also I cannot open files which are on disk mounted by the OS, which I have no problem to open with the 'Book Reader' app.

How do I open files in cloud without download?

Thank you.

Is it possible that reading different content in KOReader results in different battery usage?
I am seeing drastic differences when it is a simple text and manual book with lots of photographs and cross-links which I do follow to. It is like 1 week vs 1 day on 1 charge of the battery.
I am on Kobo Forma if that matters

Please decide to do the simple way:
WiFi off: no icon
WiFi on: icon appears

Plus, this solution would not to clutter the status bar more, even when you have a lot of information shown.

I've searched for a crazy long amount of time, and googled it multiple times, but cannot figure this one out... I have been playing with KOReader on my Linux box, evaluating whether I want to install it on my Kobo or not. I'm currently running the 2020.09 build, but had the same question in 2002.04

I have one book where I've somehow managed to enable the top status bar. It has the author, and book title on the left, and the page of pages and battery indicator on the right. Below those is a very thin progress bar with chapter indicators. I really like it as it lets me make my bottom bar more useful without being cluttered, and makes for more symmetric margins.

Anyhow, that's great and all, but it only shows up in one book... and in every other book I cannot figure out how to get it to display. I have SEARCHED and searched... been through every menu and every setting a dozen times over and cannot find it! HELP! :)

Still evaluating KOReader on my Linux box in preparation for using it on my Kobo, and ran into this interesting problem with the rendering on an ePub of a technical journal. For reference, the journal can be downloaded here: https://accu.org/journals/overload/overload156

Anyhow, I've noticed that monospaced fonts are not shown as monospace (which I've confirmed are displayed as monospace in Calibre's ebook-viewer, and that the css specifies monospace using the highlight & show HTML/CSS feature). I also noticed that some of the overlayed text/images are not rendered correctly.

Is this a known bug, or should I submit a report on gitlab?

I succesfully installed koreader on My Kobo Glo HD.
I used the one click option.
I can just see about 120 books in the koreader list, while I have at least three times more in the kobo list.
I added a "Books" folder to the root of my device where I copy my epubs coming from other sources, and those one downloaded from the kobo stores go in the preset folders.
Any idea of what I am missing?
