KOReader with color?

Alex_Go · 08-25-2020, 10:26 PM

Hello,

I installed KOReader on my Pocketbook Color (633) and although there is an menu item suggesting the use of a color screen ([cog] [Screen] [Color rendering]), everything is in shades of grey.

Anyone else either have the same issue or have succeeded in displaying color on their Pocketbook Color in KOReader.

(disclaimer, i'm very new to KOReader. Also, if someone could enlighten me as to how or if I can display the books without having to go in and out of all the author folders?)

Thanks

For your first question it's not supported yet, discussion here: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/6479
Color is supported mostly for PC version/Android version.

As for your second question I assume you're using calibre to copy books. In that case you can setup custom template when sending to device (Preferences -> Sending books to devices -> remove "{author_sort}/"). This will put books in your top directory

You can setup any file structure you want. I have ~8000 ebooks, in 50 some categories.

Luck;
