If I installed this ony Kindle, would it sill be able to read all the books I have with DRM? (I've bought lots of ebooks from Amazon over the years)
It says it focuses on e-ink screen integration. What are the unique challenges of e-ink screens for reading ebooks? At least in the past, screen refresh was slower; the reflective, rather than luminescent screen changed contrast and color performance; resolution was well behind standard screens. The first two seem easily solved; the third hard to mitigate beyond larger print and appropriate typefaces. What else?
Pretty keen to try one day, a quick question for anyone who has installed it is what does it do to the battery life of the device its installed on? is it the same, better or worse and by how much?
Got this on my Kindle after the jailbreak came out in January. It's fantastic, especially the OPDB index + self hosted calibre-web means I can just download an epub on any device, drop it on a webpage, then search it on KOReader immediately. I did not want to use USB or Amazon's plumbing to transfer, so this is great. Tons of customization over the built-in reader.
Every time I connect my Kindle 4 to the internet, it disables developer mode and I have to rejailbreak. This is despite using an update disabler plugin (I've tested them all).
It's certainly an incredible gem, but I do find it quite bloated in features. Which is why I plan on trying https://github.com/baskerville/plato one of these days, to see if it does everything I need.
