KrizzznKurzum: #Koreader ist fantastisch und der Aufwand war es wert! Ich bin gespannt wie lange ich meinen 14 Jahre alten ebook reader noch verwenden werde.

Theoretisch könnte man nun noch mit Calibre die auf Amazon gekauften Bücher befreien und in epub zu wandeln um auch weiterhin Zugriff auf sie zu haben. Aber ich bin ja kein Monster...

Apropos #Koreader Plugins: Eigentlich wollte ich meinen Lesefortschritt auf #Goodreads posten. Doch Goodreads hat wohl schon vor einiger Zeit die API abgeschaltet. Als Alternative fand ich nach kurzer Suche #hardcoverapp. Dafür gibt es eine API und ein Koreader plugin. Außerdem gibt es einen goodreads importer. Dies machte den Umzug sehr einfach. Bonus: Den Goodreads Account konnte ich auch schliessen. (Ja, auch Goodreads gehört zu Amazon)

Tommaths (he/him)#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...
Linux Renaissance PeerTubeGoodbye Kindle. Hello KOReader.
Goodbye Kindle. Hello KOReader.
CyberFlâneur@jacobscharmberg SP305590 from www.subtel.de ; they delivered reasonably fast in Germany. Also happy to see #instapaper replaced #pocket functionality in Kobos. There's also the #koreader functionality I haven't installed yet.

Got myself a new not-a-Kindle #eReader that, with a bit of work, let's you setup your own sleep screens.
I also got #koReader setup on it as the default book reader and that's working great with progress syncing back to my #Calibre app on my computer.

If you followed my #Jailbreaking adventures this past week, I'd like to add a final chapter on the positive effect it had on my reading habits.
Long story short: I used to be an avid reader and I had sadly lost the habit of reading books in the last couple of years (blaming tiredness at the end of the day). I had been looking for a system to encourage me to get back on track. When I found out about #KOreader and #SimpleUI I was totally smitten: an elegant interface that kept track of my reading stats? Sign me up!
In the photo I've attached you can see my reading stats for the past week - aka since I started using KOreader and SimpleUI. If you don't want to squint / find it harder to read: my daily reading average is about 40 minutes. Not bad! I'm just absolutely delighted by this.

If anyone else there is using KOReader on a jailbroken Kindle, there's a relatively new plugin for borrowing ebooks from your library via Libby/OverDrive:
https://github.com/kaikozlov/acsm.koplugin
At first it did not want to do anything at all on my device; it didn't even show up as a an option under "Open With ..." in the file browser. But, I realized that my installation of KOReader was a little out of date. Updating KOReader to the current version made the plugin function correctly.
