Mai più senza: il virtual pet per #KoReader, che si affama e si ammala se non leggi abbastanza.

One of my biggest regrets from the past few years was losing the habit of reading books. All the usual excuses: child to look after, too tired, not enough time…

I didn’t read a ton, but I had an average of 30 books a year. Last year I must have read 6. This year in early April I was at 0… and the realization shook me to my core.

Something had to be done.

I found out about KOreader and SimpleUI - having on an e-reader homepage a bar with reading stats would be an incredible motivator… I thought.

Jailbroke my #Kindle, installed #KOreader and #SimpleUI. And 18 days later I have… an 18 day reading streak and I’m averaging 43 minutes of reading time per day. I’m just so happy! 😊

(Unrelated but #Technofeudalism is REALLY GOOD - off to go resume reading it for another 20 minutes or so).

Angeregt durch @foosel hab ich mir auch einen XTEink zugelegt.

Jetzt gibts allerdings das Problem mit dem Sync. Hat jemand zufällig einen XTEink und einen weiteren Reader mit KOReader am laufen und es geschafft über irgendein Backend den Progress zu syncen? #ereader #xteink #koreader

#KOReader + #Kindle update:
Win: I installed a dictionary! Woohoo!

Fail: I've just installed a plugin called "Zen UI", in my quest to make KOReader look not-ugly. Restarted my Kindle, and I'm met with a "Welcome to Zen UI" screen which tells me to "swipe or tap Next to continue", neither of which I can do because my Kindle is not a touchscreen, and none of the physical buttons seem to do anything in this UI.
My device is now frozen on this screen. I'm going to cross my fingers and hope that a force-restart will open it in a state that allows me to connect it to my laptop and delete the Zen UI plugin.

Assuming this doesn't end up bricking my device, the search for a non-ugly KOReader __that can exist on a non-touchscreen Kindle__ will continue...

Goodbye Kindle. Hello KOReader.
