In praise of per book custom CSS

I just installed KOReader on my Clara and have been enjoying it very much -- WAY more than I expected to, and yet another reason just hit me.

Per-book CSS is a feature that I thought I'd never use, I'm just not that picky, but I've been reading a book that frequently switches streams without a chapter break or any real warning other than a small amount of extra space between the paragraphs. More than once I've had to go back and re-read a paragraph when I realized that the book had switched to a completely different thread and try to figure out what was going on.

Anyhow, I've been struggling with this for 3 or 4 days, but today I realized that since I've switched to KOReader I could take advantage of the built in CSS customizations. I noticed that the paragraphs that weren't indented had their own style (thanks to the HTML viewer for a given selection), so I was able to just add a very simple line:

p.paranoident { border-top:2px solid }

...and now I have a nice visual break between sections!

It's the little things like this that really add up! Yes, I could edit my original book file, but to be able to just do it on the fly, on the device, without having to re-copy the file was a game-changer!

Time to time, screen tap turns two pages

Hi,

I don't now why and I'm wondering if I'm the only one having this anoyance but with a variable frequency (sometime 5 to 6 pages, sometimes more than 10) two pages are swiped at once.
It happens in forward or backward direction.

At the begining I was convinced that it was me double tapping on screen but now I'm sure it's software related as it does not happen with the default BOOX reader (I've used for several chapters).

Anyone have an idea where I could did for getting rid of that ?

Regards and sorry for my english (I'm french).

Rename Book title/Author?

I have a Kobo Libra and some of my side-loaded books had messed-up Titles and Authors. I can't see a way to edit them on the device itself even though I have KoReader and Plato installed. Is there any way to do this on the device itself?

Battery info does not update

I have updated the firmware in my Kobo Aura to 4.24.15676, and KOReader to v2020.10, and now it seems that the battery status in KOReader is not updating.

Both the battery in the status bar and in the menus seem to be stuck at whatever level there was when KOReader starts, and the battery statistics show 0% discharge, even after reading for half an hour and sleeping for a couple days. This was not the case before the updates. The clock, page counts etc. in the status bar update correctly. If I exit back to Nickel, I see a lower battery level, and starting KOReader again shows this lower level.

Is this a known bug/issue? Did I miss some setting?

Screenshot on Kobo device

Hi,

My device is Kobo Aura H2O v1, KOreader is 2020.10.1-2 from dev chanel.

Unfortunately I don't know for what reason, but Screenshot Capture doesn't work.

On this page, I read that you should go according to the default moves.

Tap on diagonally opposed corners of the screen with two fingers at the same time or swipe from any corner to the diagonally opposed corner of the screen on devices without multi-touch support

Whichever I try, dem nothing happens.

Bug or Guesture definition problem (I can't find a move about it anywhere)?

Nickel still scanning hidden Koreader folder

Hi all,

I have just installed Koreader, but Nickel still scans the hidden koreader folder and shows plenty of images in the home page.

I have added the required:
[FeatureSettings]
ExcludeSyncFolders=\\.(?!kobo|adobe).*?

in the .kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf file, before the first unplug after the koreader unzip. I can still see the line the in eReader.conf file (even if it is now moved of place within the file), so I definitely put it there!

I thought that the modification of the .kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf was all that was required to prevent the scanning.

I am using Kobo Libre.

Any ideas?

Sorting books by last modification date

Hi

Is it possible to sort the books according to the date of their last modification? It seems that Kobo does it and it could be useful for some.

Are there different ways to sort the books?

OK found the answer on an old thread. Solved.

Question about dictionaries

Is the support of morphology (genders, conjugations, contractions, etc.) the function of a dictionary or the koreader application?

It is not so much of a problem for English, but it is for many other languages

Sloooow update

Hi

I use monthly OTA updates. I did it some days ago. The process was reasonably quick for the first two sliders, but the processing of the third and last slider was really awfully slow (between to 4.5kb down to 1.5kb). I had to resume updating five times before incrementally completing the update (good we do not have to resume from zero..).

My current location is in China. Is there any reason for the huge difference in speed between the first two sliders and the third one?

Koreader not opening a book

Hi there,

I don't understand why koreader does not open a specific ebook. The ebook has these characteristics:
- adobe digital protected (but it has been duly activated with the adobe digital ID and kobo OS reads it fine)
- has greek characters (again kobo OS reads it fine)

Which of the two above might create issues to Koreader? how can I solve it?

Thanks!

Save Reading Preferences

Is there a way to save my reading preferences so that I don't have to change them every time I open a new book?

I'm thinking of things like font, hyphenation, alignment, line spacing.

I'm using Koreader v2020.10.1 on a Kobo Clara HD in case that's relevant.

Thanks

Wikipedia Epubs?

I found some hints that Koreader was optimized to read Wikipedia Epubs.
https://fransdejonge.com/2020/10/kor...drops/#respond
I guess those are offline epubs created out of wiki pages.
Is there a source to download or create them, I couldn't find any other hint regarding this information.

Edit: Some afterthoughts later a second guess: Is it to support the online wikipedia feature to export articles as epub? I guess I was too greedy hoping, that there are some wiki exported fully as epub.

Calibre Web OPDS auth

I've got a Calibre Web server which has OPDS but when I try to use OPDS against it through reverse proxy I get this error: "Authentication required for catalog. Please add a username and password."

If I use the same on my LAN with the IP to the server instead of using the reverse proxy it works perfectly.

Any known fixes?

[CBZ/PDF] change number of "lines" scrolled

Hello,

Is it possible to change the number of "lines" that are scrolled when I hit the next button ?

When I'm reading a manga in landscape mode, pages are cutted in half, and I would like that they are cutted in 3 parts instead.

I'm not sure to be clear... :chinscratch:

Goodreads problem

I've tried many times to set up Goodreads in KOreader (the secret is SO long!) but am sure I typed in the whole thing correctly. The only way to test it (as it doesn't give you a direct response) is to my knowledge to search something. Every search has failed even though I checked and double checked the key and secret.

How do I find out what is going wrong?

Upgrading Kobo OS, what impact does it have on KOReader?

I installed KOReader w/ the simple installer that installs KOReader and launcher all at once, and haven't used the built-in reader since. I see that there's a new Kobo OS update, which I probably don't care about, but it might update itself soon, so before that happens I thought that I should check to see if there's anything that I need to do to ensure that I don't lose my reading statistics, progress, etc. I assume that these are stored in the normal user-space that isn't overwritten by the Kobo OS installer, but would like to confirm.

Once the Kobo OS updates, I'm guessing that I need to re-install KOReader. I assume that I can just use the same install script. Anything else that I need to be aware of?

Thanks a lot.

KOreader cannot handle certain dictionaries

There are two problems I could spot out in handling certain dictionaries.
1. When a dictionary contains the same word as separated headwords (separated by meanings), KOreader can sjow only the last one. Example: if you serach for the word "bang", the dictionary can contain 3 headwords: bang1, bang2, bhang. You will NEVER see the first two meanings, because KOreader can show only the last one.
Another dictionary contains 2 headwords for "bang". One is "bang" itself (containing all meaning of "bang") and also a phrase "slap bang". KOreader will show only the "slap bang", but never the first one.
May I ask for improving directory handling by showing all headwords in these cases?
2. In some dictionaries the line breaks are disregarded, and the text would be more difficult to read. Probably there is a type of line break which KOreader doesn't interpret as a new line.
