Hey everyone! I've just wrapped up a major overhaul for the custom Page browser.

Here is what’s new:

📸 Polaroid Layout (60/40 Split): A new asymmetric split screen. The left side is a clean "Polaroid" card with a much larger page preview, leaving the right menu completely uncluttered.

📑 Tabs & Integrated Info: You can now switch between Bookmarks, Highlights, and Notes via tabs. The associated text (dates, note content) is now integrated right below the page preview.

⚙️ Quick UI Scaler: You can now adjust the global UI size without touching the code. Just long-press the Settings (Gear) icon to bring up the slider.

👆 New Gestures & Shortcuts:

Open Split Menu: Long-press the page preview on the grid. Go straight to page: Long-press the page on the polaroid. Quick Bookmark Toggle: Tap the top-left corner of the page directly from the Grid view. Split Menu: Tap the note button at the top bar.

Taking a break from coding for now, but I hope you enjoy this layout as much as I do. Let me know what you think! 📚

​

How are you guys!! Here are the new features for the page browser patch:

* "Back to Origin" Button (<page X) : If you scrub far from your starting point (10+ pages), a smart floating label appears. Tap it to instantly teleport back to where you were.

* New split-View Bookmarks Menu: Long-press the center bookmark icon or the right corner of the center page to open a powerful split-screen manager. Safely add/remove bookmarks, view chapters/pages, and easily exit via the 'X' button, or swiping down on the page of the left.

* Interactive Page Preview: The left side of the Split View isn't dead space—it's functional thumbnail of the selected page. Tap it to instantly jump back to the 3-page grid centered on that exact spot. Additionally, the menu remembers the exact page you were on when you opened it, keeping it pinned in the rounded box.

* Smart Disabled Buttons: Chapter navigation buttons (<< and >>) now automatically gray out if you hit the first or last chapter limits.

* Pronounced Bookmark Ribbon: A clear, high-contrast ribbon appears directly on the page thumbnail to easily identify saved pages (touching it now it redirects you to the new menu- even if there are no ribbon)

* Zero-Lag Caching: Bookmark parsing now uses strict lazy-loading. It loads into RAM once and only recalculates when you explicitly toggle a mark. The menu now opens and navigates with no lag.

I’ve been working on tweaking the patch overlay for KOReader. My main goal was to make it feel much more native to the Kindle experience, clean up the UI, and fix some deep-rooted bugs with how EPUB and PDF bookmarks are handled.

Patch Notes

-Progress Bar Revamp: The slider got a massive upgrade! It now features visual dots directly on the timeline to show exactly where your bookmarks are.

-Corrupted Page Refresh: If KOReader ever glitches and gives you a corrupted thumbnail in the bottom grid, you can now simply long-press the middle page to force a fresh redraw.

-Smart Navigation: The Next/Prev bookmark buttons now automatically gray out and disable when there are no more bookmarks available in that direction.

-Toggle Bookmark: The core logic for this was entirely improved and revamped.

-Dynamic UI Scaling: You can now change all icons, margins, and grid elements, inside the lua. file just change the CUSTOM_UI_SCALE variable and it will dynamically adapt without breaking the layout.! You can shrink (e.g., 0.6) or enlarge (e.g., 1.2) the entire overlay to fit your screen perfectly.

-UI Tweaks: Raised the bottom bar so it doesn't hug the physical screen bezel, added thinner and cleaner separator lines (1px), and widened the top bar spacing to prevent misclicks.

-Stability: Fixed some bugs.

To use it, just replace your existing 2-page-scrubber.lua file with this patched version.

Hi everyone!

I’ve heavily modified the 2-page-browser.lua: Now you can navigate through your favorite comic books, manga and your PDFs. It was built specifically on a Kindle Basic 2019 to handle low-RAM constraints.

Here are the main features:

•Anti-Crash Shield for CBZ/PDFs

• (Only on CBZ): Compact 3-Page Grid: Shows 3 real, fully rendered thumbnails properly scaled to fit the screen width.

• Physical Button Support:

-Left/Right (PgBack/PgFwd): Navigate through the grid pages.

-Up/Down (D-Pad): Jump to the Next / Previous chapter.

-Back: Cleanly closes the widget.

• Add a text above the grid that displays the title of the document

• Fixed a ton of bugs, and now the pages should load a lot faster (even more on e-ink devices)

Just replace your current 2-page-browser.lua with the code below. Remember that you can activate this widget in the gesture manager (reader section).

Let me know if it works for you!

I’m thrilled to show you my new patch in my collection for KOReader!

With this new patch you can navigate easily in a book by tapping the pages that are next to the center, you can also hold them to continuously flip through pages (you can also swipe to change pages). Tapping the center page thumbnail instantly jumps to it, and pressing the X button lets you seamlessly return to your original starting page.

2-page-browser.lua: 3-page thumbnail grid, X button, top toolbar (Home, Settings, Bookmarks, ToC, Style settings), and progress bar.

Page scrubbers: •2-page-scrubber.lua: Centered floating window variant with rounded corners and quick buttons. •2-page-scrubber-alt.lua: Minimalist bottom bar with chapter info, and top toolbar.

*All patches include controlled page-turn speeds to prevent E-ink ghosting loops, a bottom bar that lets you change chapters and browse bookmarks.

📦 Installation: -Save the .lua file to your KOReader patches/ folder and restart. -Go to Settings (⚙️) > Gestures > Reader, and assign your gesture to the patch

https://github.com/lautaroelkin/koreader-tweaks-lauch/tree/main

(Tested on my kindle 10th generation )

Sorry to spam and be a pain for posting twice in two days, but I’ve polished this further and wanted to share the final version!

⚙️ Installation:

1. Place the 2-page-scrubber.lua file into your KOReader patches directory.

2. Map it to a gesture by going to: Settings (Gear icon) > Gesture > Reader.

✨ Features & What's New.

-Bookmark Navigation: Quickly jump between your existing bookmarks directly from the bottom control bar (‹ / › buttons next to the bookmark toggle) without digging through menus.

Quick Tools: Centered circular page-turn buttons, chapter jumps (‹‹ / ››), Table of Contents (☰), and Bookmarks (★).

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the hold feature (holding down the page-turn to rapid-scroll through pages). Does the speed feel natural to you, or would you tweak anything? Let me know!

There was an important bug in the patch that I posted yesterday.

The hold bug: E-Ink refresh flashes kept swallowing the HoldRelease event, trapping infinite loops and freezing the Kindle.

The fix: I ditched infinite holds. It’s now a **strict 4-page lightning burst**—holding the button instantly zips through 4 pages and safely stops. Tapping it repeatedly gives you a fast, zero-risk turbo feel.

+UI polishes: Added rounded-rect chapter buttons, a dynamic bookmark indicator on the star icon, and working left/right swipe support.
