Which package is meant for Pocketbooks? Arm, Arm64...? I have a Color 3

Edit: I didn't find any file in last update 2024.03.1
Re-Edit: I found it! Sorry

Neither!

Scroll down towards the bottom of the list, you may need to click on "see all # assets" (at the very bottom of the list) to view the full list. There will only be one link with "pocketbook" in the name.

Following instructions to install, what does it mean "merge" the two folders?

I've copied to the internal storage and now I have the file "koreader.app", and the folders "koreader" and "bin"in the "root". But the device doesn't show any kobo app

Yes, I saw it, thanks!

I assume you're doing this by USB?

The koreader directory and koreader.app need to be placed into the applications directory.

There should be another koreader.app file (smaller in size than the other) in that bin folder which needs to be placed in system/bin.

(The system directory may be hidden by default, make sure your file explorer settings are changed to show hidden files).

If you copy a directory called test to a location that already contains a directory called test, the files in the test directories are "merged".

Great! Many thanks.

It seems that Windows does not show the pocketbook innards even when Hidden items is selected.

However, you can still copy the \system\bin\koreader.app folders & file to the root of Pocketbook filesystem. It is on the same level as the applications folder, so copy the folder/file path to "Touch HD 3 (F:)" or like and Windows will asks you if you want to overwrite \system\bin that is there. Answer yes, since only thing that is copied is the file koreader.app to bin-folder (and that will be overwritten only if you have earlier installation of Koreader).
