Anyone know how to set custom screen idle images after doing this? I've been wanting to put 'Don't Panic' on my 6th gen paperwhite since I got it but it's so locked down that wasn't possible.

Custom sleep picture is one of the features of KOReader. Pretty easy to spot it in the settings.

I decided to go ahead and install KOReader and check it out. It's pretty neat although I can't find what you're describing in the settings.

In any case I was hoping to find a way to do this without having to switch to a separate user interface.

That title was extremely disappointing to read. Initially read it as, "All kinds can now be jailbroken, thanks to new jailbreak method." and was like, "What?! Yeahhhh we're gonna jailbreak all the things!!!"

Then I saw what it really said. Cool, but meh. Happy for all the Kindle owners but I already solved that problem by just not buying a Kindle. Such disappoint. (눈_눈)

What for? Cuz loading pirated books is trivial?

Isn't a cracked (old, I think?) Kindle the only way to pirate KU/DRM titles? At least, that's what I recall from the last time I looked into it. There's a book I really wanted to format shift from KU since Google TTS was fucking up all the proper nouns, but I gave up. (It was an obscure book that isn't available anywhere pirated.)

Is there a way to change the Library to be able to see epub files? I have KOReader installed now, but I have to go through the directory to find my epub files.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can set a specific folder as the "home" folder on koreader by long pressing the folder where your files are located. I put all my epubs in there with moisaic viewing style.

Thanks. I did that, and changed how Calibre sends books to my device. Before it was creating folders for each author, so now I have it dump them in the home folder instead.
