Only available with EPUBs containing 2 or more fragments, and a file size large enough to ensure a cache file is used. The idea is simply, on any rendering setting change, to skip the rerendering of the full book and to defer any rerendering to the moment we draw a DocFragment, and render only it. So, on a setting change, only the fragment containing the current page will be rerendered, and the new fragments we may cross while turning pages. When having done so, KOReader is in a degraded state (the full page count is incorrect, the ToC is invalid...). So, a full rerendering is needed, and one will happen in the background, and when the user is idle, we reload seamlessly and quickly from the cache file it has made. ReaderFlipping will show some icons in the top left corner to let it know at which steps in this procress we are. |

Main features

portable: runs on embedded devices (Cervantes, Kindle, Kobo, PocketBook, reMarkable), Android and Linux computers. Developers can run a KOReader emulator in Linux and MacOS.
-
multi-format documents: supports fixed page formats (PDF, DjVu, CBT, CBZ) and reflowable e-book formats (EPUB, FB2, Mobi, DOC, RTF, HTML, CHM, TXT). Scanned PDF/DjVu documents can also be reflowed with the built-in K2pdfopt library. ZIP files are also supported for some formats.

full-featured reading: multi-lingual user interface with a highly customizable reader view and many typesetting options. You can set arbitrary page margins, override line spacing and choose external fonts and styles. It has multi-lingual hyphenation dictionaries bundled into the application.
-
integrated with calibre (search metadata, receive ebooks wirelessly, browse library via OPDS), Wallabag, Wikipedia, Google Translate and other content providers.
-
optimized for e-ink devices: custom UI without animation, with paginated menus, adjustable text contrast, and easy zoom to fit content or page in paged media.
-
extensible: via plugins
-
fast: on some older devices, it has been measured to have less than half the page-turn delay as the built in reading software.
-
and much more: look up words with StarDict dictionaries / Wikipedia, add your own online OPDS catalogs and RSS feeds, over-the-air software updates, an FTP client, an SSH server, …
