KOReader and KOA questions
Hi!
Going to move out from my current Kindle 3 with CoolReader to something newer. As I'm fan of Kindle devices, want to investigate KOReader's behavior on Kindle Oasis device. So, I have few questions: 1) Is Kindle Oasis supported in KOReader? 1a) Are hardware keys of KOA supported? 1b) Is backlight(turning on/off/level adjusting) supported? 1c) Is accelerometer supported? 2) Do the same settings as in CoolReader exist in KOReader also? 2a) Could I remove fields around text up to zero? 2b) Is it possible to use my own OTF font? 2c) Is it possible to fully remove all elements but text from screen(progress bar, buttons, etc) 2d) Are there settings of font smoothing/hinting/gamma correction? 2e) Are there settings of space width, line spacing? Thank you in advance for your help! Last edited by godlike; 11-24-2016 at 06:37 AM. |

I'm not sure if it works with Kindle Oasis, but I see there are version for two Kindle types. I guess it supports Oasis. Some things I know for sure how it works with Kobo and guess that works in almost same way for Kindles:
1b) There's two way to control light. One through settings and other through gesture, like with nickel, but it is more advanced than in nickel. 2) It may depend on what settings you're interested, but most important settings are there. I have installed koreader and CR, but use actively only koreader. 2b) For fonts, I use custom TTF fonts, not sure about OTF. 2c) Yes |

But, to get light toggling working, at the moment you need to play a bit with configuration files, as I described here: https://github.com/koreader/koreader...ment-261928796 In this comment I set light toggling to lowest left position, but it can be placed whenever you want and can be made as big or small as you like. It isn't that intuitive, but it can be done. All in all, this is much superior way of light controlling to anything I saw. |

Thank you guys for such detailed answers, going to buy Kindle Oasis.
Editing of config files does not scare me, it's even better to use them as absolutely predictable way of storing of config values. |
