One-Click Install Packages for KOReader & Plato - Page 4

What, btw, are EPUB3 compatible notes?

maximus83 · 01-22-2019, 08:27 PM

Notes that can be attached to an Epub file in the Epub3 standard. ETA, I think this is the capability described in the Open Annotation in Epub spec, by the Epub 3 working group. Now we're just waiting for more apps to start implementing open annotations.

Hello! Thank you for this, this is great!

Is there a way to convert the dictionary's in Kobo folder, in a KOReader compatible format? thanks in advance

Regards

@xppx99: Not that I know of, and that'll probably never happen, as I imagine the stock dictionaries are encrypted.

@maximus83: That didn't make it in ePub 3.1? That's weird, given the age of the draft...

I thought it did, they're still referencing it places like here. https://github.com/w3c/publ-epub-revision/wiki/EPUB-3.1

ETA: @NiLuJe, just realized my comment above might have come across as slamming the KOReader app for not implementing open annotations--that was not my intent, sorry if it came across that way. I was just commenting on some interesting future functionality I hope to see in any reader apps. I'll stop commenting it here as it's a rabbit trail to this thread anyway. :-)

Have encountered what I believe to be a bug. When I enable the 'calibre wireless connection', manually input the local IP, and hit connect, my clara goes into the ellipses loading screen and boots into nickel. Then does nothing? I have to manually go back into koreader. Any logs I need to submit?

Second thought, may be wrong thread to post this in since the script worked for install.

NiLuJe · 01-24-2019, 04:01 AM

@radbaddude: Yep, open a bug report in the appropriate place, please (I assume KOReader's GitHub, here, right?)

Hi NiLuJe:

The download file of Koreader+Plato is missing.

NiLuJe · 02-03-2019, 11:36 AM

@panweihwa: Oops, got sidetracked during the upload, forgot to update the post

. Fixed.

radbaddude · 02-06-2019, 07:25 PM

Seems to have installed on a new forma from 2019.02 without issue. Thanks!

Hi NiLuJe:

I have downloaded and Installed both Koreader & Plato. Plato is a light-weighted application, thin & fast. However, it can not properly display the unicode filename (My book is in Chinese). Also, its metadata can not be displayed too.

I'd suggest asking your question in the Plato thread. See Plato: A document reader for PDF, ePUB, DjVu, etc.

Hello:

I've just installed de One-Click Install Packages for KOReader.

If needs be, how to uninstall it?

Awaiting your kind reply,

Speaking of KFMon, there's an uninstaller package available in the KFMon thread (whose link can be found in the first post).

Good evening. This is my first attempt this year to get Plato working in my Kobo. Total failure again, but with different results compared to last years.

The instructions in the first post are confusing. For example, should I install KFMon first (because it says the programs "rely on" it) or is KFMon included in the "one-click" packages so that the whole procedure is just one install instead of two consecutive installs? If two consecutive installs, then what justifies calling it "one-click"? If it is one install of either Plato, Koreader, or them both, and you can ignore KFMon, then why emphasise KFMon all over the place?

I installed KFMon first. Since I use Kobo Start Menu, I had to decide how to "handle update" before booting to Nickel again. I chose "partial update". Why are there no instructions about this step? Anyway, there were no apparent changes in Nickel after this.

Then I took a "one-click" Plato package (which seemed to contain KFMon yet again) and again upon "handle update" I chose "partial update". This resulted in three image files in my "My Books" section in the Nickel home screen. The three image files are KFMon, Koreader (why is that there???) and Plato. Okay, I click on Plato and the image file opens. Same with the other image files.

Where is Plato the reading app? How to open it?

I have many more questions, but let's limit to these for now.
