- epub coverpage support in browser (only for books opened at least once)
- recursive book properties scan in directory
- book search (by author, title, series, filename)

Should work in 3.0.44-1
(not tested)

3.0.44-3 uploaded on Market

OK. I performed a factory reset and reloaded the latest firmware (required after a factory reset I found). And I have the most recent version (3.0.44-03) installed.

If I open a book, then back out to the file list before I close (go to home screen), when going back into the Cool Reader app the screen comes up blank.
If I make sure I load a book even though I can't see it before I close (home screen) and open back up, the book appears.

The bug seems to be occurring when exiting the app from the file browser.

There is a bug. I'll fix it ASAP.

I just install the cr3-0-43-01 found in the forum.

How can I ensure cool reader open the file in correct encoding, as all the Chinese files were either shown in as ????? or blank.

Do I need to fix the epub files? Can someone please give me some instructions.

Thanks a lot.

Select chineese font in settings.
If there is no chineese font in settings, put .ttf files with such font to /fonts directory on SD card.

Cool Reader understands only Unicode (UTF-8 or UTF-16) encoding for Chineese.

New Win32 build is available too.

A quick question: Is it possible to block double taps all together, either with a setting in CoolReader or in another way? I like to read on my treadmill (got a holder for the tablet), but the motion or something (could that something be static electricity?) makes almost every tap on the Nook Color into a double tap.

Another question: Did you get around to implement showing italics where the book uses it, without an italics TTF font, like the built in reader in Nook Color (which for many other reasons is far from good enough)? If you did, I haven't found out how to use it.

Great work on the app, no matter what the answers are!

A tip with Fora, if you can't install fora dictionary package (out of memory issue), add dictionaries to colordict and then import them to Fora. Every thing went smooth for me.

Regards

Since you have gone through this before I was hoping you could tell me where I can get the dictionaries and where and how do I install them.

I down loaded ColorDict and installed it but I can't find dictionaries to go with it. ColorDict tried to download the data but was unable to do so. I'm not sure but I think it went to the Android Market to which I don't have access.

Any way I'm hoping you, or someone, can help me out.

Thanks and regards - John

Thanks Buggins for this great ebook reader. I must appreciate the performance and simple design of cool reader which is very much focused on reading books. I am using cool reader as my primary ebook reader app in my HTC Legend for last 5 days and I am loving it.

Some feature request from me:
1. It will be great to have svg cover support for epubs
2. Option to move the title bar as per user choice (upper or lower part of the screen)
3. Always sort by last used sort order.
4. Page flip speed control. User should specify how fast they want the page slide/turn animation.

Mastiff · 03-01-2011, 08:00 AM

sav.here, come to think about it, maybe even be able to have the title bar vertically, when you're holding the device in landscape mode there's always extra room on one of the sides.

sav.here · 03-01-2011, 08:11 AM

Yes, Mastiff you are correct. Although I prefer to read in portrait mode, but for 2 page view in android tablets the vertical title bar might be more convenient.
