The Sony Reader is smaller, thinner, and more elegant device in nearly every respect. Both devices last a week on a charge for pure reading, or less if you use audio playing or wireless on the Kindle. You can put more memory into the Reader because it can handle both cards at the same time but ebooks are small, and even the modest amount of internal memory on both devices is probably enough for most users unless you’re going to store photos (pointless) or music (not so pointless) on the device. They both have enough internal storage and accept external storage in the form of SD flash cards, and the Reader supports an additional Memory Stick Duo. It’s actually pretty easy to tell whose going to win, but the fight isn’t as one-sided as the recent press around the Kindle might make it seem.īoth devices are based on exactly the same display technology, and use very similar microprocessors. The Sony Reader, weighting in at slightly less than an actual paperback, is the reigning champ, and the Amazon Kindle bigger, heavier (at almost 11oz), and stronger is the contender. Made loader script to kick midori direct to root window.Okay, perhaps smackdown is a bit of a stretch when comparing what are perhaps the most milquetoast and genteel electronic devices ever made, but there is a battle of the heavyweights going on for control of the eBook buying public (all fifteen of them). Made Buildroot config to enable all buildroot users to have latest midori (must push that upstream)

Worked on this For HOURS yesterday with some success, will revisit. <- Priority, It makes typing a real pain. Limit the dropdown results to just 3 if we can do that. Link the height of midori to the presence of the OSK (I can test for that IIRC) to make text entry sanely possible like in skipstone meh no Done, Now it simply defaults to sideways all the time.
#USING KINDLE WITH ZOOMTEXT 11 CODE#
I already went through a patched a bunch of the code to support title attributes so occasionally at the moment it will swing sideways. Make the theme stuff work - It's not finding the resources, Why? strace. Make the plugins that I built be detected, They are not right now. <- Now can do this Done (now top left Icon) Menu too long for sideway viewing (I already hacked a lot of it out) DONEįix the about :dial# add shortcut (probably a title) <- Priority, it really is annoyingįind the EXIT button - or make one. mnt/us/extensions/midori/bin/midori: symbol lookup error: /mnt/us/extensions/system/lib/armv7l/libwebkit-1.0.so.2: undefined symbol: gdk_visual_get_depth (Thanks MonkeyOfDoom) So I bind mounted the home stuff into ~/.config/midori edit the config in there

No longer crashes (Thanks MonkeyOfDoom) Preferences are just not working right now. (midori4:30188): Gtk-WARNING **: GModule (/mnt/us/extensions/system/lib/armv7l/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libpixmap.so) initialization check failed: Gtk+ version too old (micro mismatch) <- I can fix this right now but would like to pull a newer version of gtkĬrash Won't open "select preferences". See if it is failing to Trigger OR Failing to BE Triggered Maybe I will stick a trace in the script too. That is a far neater solution than the internalised "Popen" solution that I have finished now. Not happy with that at all.Ĭhristian Dywan brought up an excellent point about "How do we switch app", The fact is that right now "We don't" so I'm going to construct (I hope) and overlay layer that a) does not grab focus b) provides app switching and c) pulls up the keyboard. The event does not seem very "robust" I get the same flaky keyboard response the baf did.

Ill hookup scripting and "exec"ed from inside midori - since we are custom patching it anyways.
