Customized from the inside out ✨ I'm too embarrassed to admit how long tweaking everything has taken me, BUT I am about 95% done with it and totally happy with it. Last big thing will be setting up a Bluetooth page turner. I think this is the longest I've ever nerded out on anything, but now I can read and start beefing these stats 😤

Thank you to this subreddit for all the help, I'm endlessly grateful!

Last pic of popsocket bc this kindle is the only reason I've read anything this year as a first time mom 😂🩷

Hello all,

I made a note taking plugin for Koreader (ZenUI) called Later Thoughts.

The idea was to capture a thought while reading without turning towards note-taking in a secondary app, having notes lost in book specific annotations, interrupting your reading by using your phone, or avoiding using pen and paper while reading in bed.

When I read at night with my phone across the room, I get frustrated that I can't easily write something down when it pops into my head while reading. Problem solved!

It is made to be very simple to use and minimal as to not distract from your reading or add any bloat to your ereader.

Features:

• Create named plain-text notes
• Quick Entry for fast timestamped thoughts
• Manage Notes: open, rename, and delete
• Notes sorted by most recently modified
• Quick inserts:
  • Timestamp
  • Date
  • Book + page
  • Timestamp + book + page
  • Divider
  • Bullet
• Tap outside the Insert menu to dismiss it
• Plain .txt storage
• No accounts, database, syncing, network access, tags, or background service
• Tested on Kindle with KOReader and ZenUI
  • Also, the name rhymes with tater tots.

If you're interested you can find it below. This is my first time ever doing something like this so generative AI was used in the process.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

somethingsomethinginternet/later-thoughts-koreader: A minimal, book-independent notes plugin for KOReader.

So, this is the first time I've tried this. I tried installing KOReader using the web UI (and I think I also installed NickelMenu). Now, what I don't understand is why it looks like this (attached photos).

​When I tap the "+" icon on the top right, it opens a menu showing options like Home, Select files, Set as HOME folder, Folder shortcuts, etc., but my home screen is just showing the file explorer with folders like Digital Editions, Exported Annotations, fonts, and only one random book (When the Lord Adored Me).

​Just as a note, basically all my books were uploaded from Drive or Dropbox. For some reason, they aren't showing up on the main view? Everything is split into folders and I'm not really sure what I did wrong or how to set up my actual library view.

​I downloaded this because I wanted to use the calendar feature, since I always forget to rate my books and check when I started/finished reading them (because, again, I always forget). But now I think I messed it up, so I'm checking if anyone can help me figure out how the home folder or document list works here.

​Btw, I actually bought some of my books, so those are from the Kobo Store. Any idea what's going on or how I'm supposed to navigate this?

hello there! I just wanted to share with you guys the final results of my icon customization on my jailbroken kindle bc someone asked for it!

for the curious: i didn’t use any plugin or patch, KOReader itself handles it

My kindle is the colorsoft signature edition

Hey everyone,

I just pushed an update to Storefront that adds a dedicated screensaver section. You can now browse and download e-ink optimized screensavers directly on your device without needing to plug into a computer.

Highlights

• Browse on-device: Explore wallpapers across categories like Minimalist, Nature, Sci-Fi, Classic Art, Anime, and more.
• One-tap downloads: Save wallpapers straight into your screensaver folder so KOReader can display them on sleep.
• E-ink optimized: Sized and tuned for clear contrast on e-paper screens (both grayscale and color devices).
• Configure in Storefront: You can set and configure screensavers directly in Storefront.
• Cache management: Go to the settings menu for more granular cache management/deletion for readmes, wiki, and screensaver thumbnails.
• Community catalog: If you have wallpapers you would like to share with others, you can submit them to the community gallery.

Submit your own screensavers to the catalog here: https://ultimatejimmy.github.io/storefront-screensavers/

Install

Get it here: https://github.com/ultimatejimmy/storefront.koplugin/releases, here are installation instructions: https://github.com/ultimatejimmy/storefront.koplugin/wiki/1.-Installation

If you already have this plugin and are updating, it should appear automatically or you can force check from Settings -> About Storefront -> Check for updates or the "Check for updates" on the Updates tab.

Feedback

I'm always open to feedback. If you have ideas or issues, you can let me know. GitHub is ideal so things don't get missed:

• GitHub issue tracker

I will also respond on Reddit or via Reddit chats.

Support me

I do this work for free, but if you want, you can support me via liberapay or Buy me a coffee

Just jailbroke my Kindle and installed koreader, bookshelf, and bookend. Finally getting the hang of it all, got a bunch of books, and updated lots of settings to my liking. (It's been a really intimidating process lol)

One thing that I can't figure that's bugging me so much is this button in the bottom right hand corner when I'm reading a book. When I click on it it opens a full screen clock. I keep accidentally pressing it. How do I remove this button? Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I've been working on bundling all my previous VOS visual patches and enhancements into a single, installable plugin with a proper settings UI with added customizations. No more manually dropping Lua files into the patches folder and praying they don't break on the next update.

This is not an yet another "UI". This just alters the cover grid in the least invasive way possible.

Fully compatible with popular UIs like SimpleUI, ProjectTitle, Bookshelf.

If you have been using any of my patches previously, you can now remove them and install this plugin. Don't worry about the custom settings you set on those patches, you can configure everything in the VOS menu now.

What is VOS?

VOS is a one-stop plugin for customizing KOReader's file browser, cover grid, navigation, menus, and related interface elements. It grew out of the earlier SeriousHornet/KOReader.patches collection I'd been maintaining, but now everything is bundled, configurable through the UI, and all changes take effect without restarting.

Feature Highlights

Bottom Navigation Bar

• Configurable navigation bar for the file browser with adjustable size, labels, active-tab styling, and tab order
• Built-in tabs for History, Favorites, Collections, Search, and more community plugins
• Custom folder tabs with your own SVG or PNG icons
• Optional navigation bars in supported standalone views
• Compatible with SimpleUI's Navbar — when SimpleUI owns the file-manager layout, VOS stays out of its way.

Cover Grid Enhancements

• DPI-aware rounded corners for book and folder covers
• Configurable cover aspect ratio, fill and stretch behavior.
• Folder artwork support — place a .cover.png, .cover.jpg, .cover.webp, etc. in any folder and VOS will use it as that folder's cover in the grid. No folder artwork? VOS falls back to a cached book cover from inside the folder
• Folder names and item-count badges overlaid on folder covers
• Adjustable fading for finished books
• Three folder cover styles: single, collage (2×2 grid of book covers), and stack (overlapping covers)

Badges & Status

• Rounded reading-progress bar with optional dynamic length based on book size
• Percentage badge with adjustable dimensions, placement, and optional custom SVG/PNG icon
• Page-count badge with configurable colors, border, and position
• Numbered series badges or flap-style series indicators
• Resizable and repositionable reading / hold / finished status icons with optional custom artwork
• Configurable collection star

Clean Up Tools

Removes the existing Coverbrowser/ProjectTitle's widgets and artifacts for a clean slate. These are meant to let you swap in VOS replacements without visual conflicts.

• Disable the description hint bar
• Disable pagination in mosaic/list views
• Disable KOReader's default cover progress bar
• Disable the default collection star

Extras (Community Patches, Built In)

VOS absorbs a number of well-known community patches so you don't have to manage them separately:

• UI Font selection — pick a custom UI font with matching regular and bold files (sebdelsol)
• Hide empty folders / up-folder entry (sebdelsol)
• Hide last-visited underline (sebdelsol)
• Text overrides — replace underscores, restore trailing articles (joshuacant)
• Pagination in file-browser subtitles (zenixlabs)
• Quicksettings tab (qewer33)
• File-browser title bar customization (sebdelsol)
• Auto menu sizing (sebdelsol)
• Incognito mode — open a document without recording it in history (Craftwork2720)

Credits to all the original patch authors — VOS just packages their work alongside the new features.

Installation

1. Download the latest release from the Releases page.
2. Extract to KOReader's plugins directory so the path is koreader/plugins/vos.koplugin/.
3. Restart KOReader.
4. Enable Visual Overhaul Suite (VOS) in KOReader's plugin manager if needed, and restart again.
5. Open VOS from Tools > Visual Overhaul Suite (VOS).

Do not place VOS files in koreader/patches, and do not copy the bundled SVG files to koreader/icons.

Configuration

• Suite-wide On/Off switch at the top of the VOS menu — disables all effects while keeping your settings intact
• Every single module or customization is toggle-able. Nothing is hard-coded.
• Most settings save and apply immediately; use Refresh UI if a view hasn't rebuilt yet
• All your VOS settings save under koreader/settings/visualoverhaul.lua so you don't have to worry about losing your custom setup.
• A few changes (UI font, Quick Settings tab, menu sizing) require a KOReader restart
• Built-in Check for Updates under About

Compatibility

• Developed against KOReader 2026.07 "Sailing Walrus"
• Compatible with SimpleUI v2.5, Project: Title v3.8.3, Bookshelf v4.2.1.
• Cover effects apply to the mosaic cover grid — they don't affect classic list views
• VOS uses process-wide hooks for some integrations; other patches or plugins that replace the same KOReader methods may conflict

Would love to hear feedback, feature requests, or bug reports.

Happy reading :)

I read on a Boox Palma 2 and kept wanting to glance at "how far into this book am I" and "how much have I actually been reading" without unlocking and opening KOReader itself. Couldn't find anything that did this, so I built it.

It's a separate app that reads KOReader's own on-disk files (`statistics.sqlite3`, `settings.reader.lua`, the book's `.epub`) via the Storage Access Framework — it never touches or modifies KOReader itself, just reads alongside it. If you also use Mihon for manga, it can optionally read that too, shown as a completely separate card/widget (never merged with your book).

What it does:

- Home screen: current book, cover, progress %, estimated time remaining

- Stats screen: daily/weekly/monthly/yearly/all-time reading time & pages, a GitHub-style activity heatmap, bar graphs

- 5 home-screen widgets (currently-reading card, stats row, activity heatmap, combined views)

It's early (v0.1.0) — built and tested on a Palma 2, for now there's a signed APK on the GitHub releases page.

Repo: https://github.com/woxakv/android-koreader-companion

Would love feedback, bug reports, or a sanity check from anyone running a different device — this is the first time it's left my own phone.

Your favorite unit converter Footcream is now reaching 1.8.0!

• Books are now scanned and converted more than 4 times faster. A lengthy book (eg. DDC) has gone from 100 seconds to a mere 24 seconds (on a Kobo Libra 2).
• The conversion progress UI is less annoying and obtrusive, it now just shows you what you need to see.
• The plugin and it's menus are now translated to 30 languages (follows KOReader's language setting) It still only handles units in English. Further content coverage besides English is out of scope as of now. If something is not translated correctly, check the repo to contribute via Crowdin.
• 10 conversion errors from user reports are fixed. Keep on reporting missed or incorrect units! Also, keep reporting any other issues via GitHub.
