Koreader running on Kobos (all of them, hopefully!)

[MagnaNime]

Many thanks for your answers !
I mean "é", "è", "à", "ç" but also "^" for instance.
What I have tried was to change character, like: [3] = "é".

Actually the Azerty keyboard behave like a Qwerty. Only the number of caps matter. It was easy to switch the character to become what I wanted, but without accent...

How's it been going since?

I'm enjoying KOReader on my Clara HD (with latest firmware) but wondering if there's a particular firmware that'll perform best with KOReader on my Libre 2?

Still going strong. I only got a crash like once or twice since I have it, and the battery doesn't bother me compared to my old H2O. I do not use Nickle at all so can't say if it's shorter than "normal" compared to other devices of the same generation.

Hi
Am I only getting error when trying to push/pull reading progress? Last 3-4 days it returns, that "something went wrong...". Also when check updates it says "no stable update channel" or something like this.
Thank you.

It should be back tomorrow. See https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/10615

Hi Frenzie. Thank you and others for all efforts with Koreader.
Push/pull reading progress is not working again Is there any way, maybe to set it to personal cloud ftp?

pazos hosts another one somewhere, but I forget where to find it atm. He'll probably pop by soon enough.

They're all in https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/11154

I see that KOReader now works on the new color Kobos. How's the stability/performance/battery life of KOReader on those? (Context is that I have a Sage, and am curious whether the overall experience -- leaving color to the side -- would be an upgrade or downgrade, or basically the same.)

Not sure how helpful this will be to you as my Libra Colour is my first (and only) Kobo device so I can't really say how it compares with the Sage, but so far I haven't experienced any issue with KOReader, stability is rock solid and the device is very fast. The battery life is great, can't say I notice a difference between the stock reader and KOReader from that standpoint.

So overall I'm very happy with KOReader on the Libra Colour, I basically never use the stock reader as KOReader is just so much better.

Thank you for this update, Koreader is now working on my kobo libra color and its nice.

My next task is to get the ask gpt plugin to work because I ask a lot AI stuff about what I read and having the option to picture places clothes and characters with it is nice.

Keep your Sage.

There's no equivalent to begin with: the Libra is smaller, and doesn't exist in B&W, and if you don't actually need color (and, err, spoiler alert: you don't, especially not given how the tech currently looks, and even less so at the panel size it's offered here), the clarity tradeoff is far too steep.

And if an hypothetical matching device *does* come out (i.e., a Forma 2), you'd basically only gain battery life (and, if nobody screws it up, possibly weight, which would be *great*). So, again: keep your Sage .

I have a small question and I don't want to make a separate thread for it so I'll just ask it here.

There is a feature in the upcoming release ( https://github.com/koreader/koreader...ne/74?closed=1 ) that I really want. Is the current nightly release more or less stable on Kobos, or should I wait until the next stable release instead?

Thank you!

[Frenzie]

Yes, it's stable on Kobo.
