How to remove "Fully read" books from "Last Open" list?

pjeanetta · 12-07-2010, 09:38 AM

All,
I wonder if it is possible to configure PocketBook 360 to NOT show fully read books in the "Last Open" list?

Thanks in advance,
Jeanetta

The list of recently read books is kept in a simple text file called lastopen.txt and is stored in
directory /system/state in main memory.

If you connect your PB360 to the PC and open lastopen.txt in a text editor you could manually (and carefully!) remove the lines for books you no longer wanted to appear as 'recently read'. Alternatively, if you delete books from the PB360 after reading them they are automatically removed from lastopen.txt as well.

As for whether this is a good practice -- I'm not sure

The only other option I know of is to use Settings - Maintenance - Clean state. But, this clears all books from the 'recently read' list.

Thanks jackie_w - but I don't think it's much practical as a solution (except to delete books - may think about it.. But I do like to re-read them later).
Will try to post it to Pocketbook developers.

As calibre is my main source of book library i always delete books for my readers after reading them. When i want them a second time i can always copy them again using calibre.
