Reduce Brightness on Touch Lux 3

December 11, 2020, 1:19 pm

I initially bought a Pocket Book Touch Lux 2 and later the Touch Lux 3 because it had the possibility to dim its brightness very low which was very comfortable for reading at night.
Recently I did an update to version U626.5.20.1157 which brought nice updates but since this update the lowest setting for the light is very bright.
;-)
Well, I could try to downgrade the system until I end up with the wanted behavior. But since I could not find anything in the change logs of Pocket Book about this, it is hard for me to track down which was the last version that had the "dark mode".

Does anybody know, which version introduced that change?

Does anybody know, which is the setting file to adjust the brightness e.g. using a Terminal like poterm? Or how to do that with the terminal? (In this case I think a script could do the job.)

Do other users experience the same issue? Or is it specific to me?

Hello, I noticed that in some books, after turning a page, fonts are displayed black for a short time and then they shade a little gray, both with the default reader and with koreader.
I am on firmware 5.20.
Is there a way to make them stay full black?

Thanks.

Hi,

We have changed the broken display of Touch LUX 4 Emeraldnak with the screen bought from you ED060XCD . It worked super. The system offered an update. I clicked on it and since then it no longer works properly. It was version 6. I tried downgrading it to 5.20. But it didn’t help. It doesn’t senses the touch properly.

I formatted the internel memory, it didn't help.

If you can help, please advise.

Dictionary ENG-GER with data by dict.cc

Hello,

a few years ago I bought a Pocketbook Touch HD 3 e-book reader and found it had a lousy standard dictionary. As a non-native speaker, I enjoy reading English books, so I occasionally need a translation of a word. The standard dictionaries on this device only provide basic vocabulary and therefore do not help me any further. Because of this problem, I looked around a little and only found expensive dictionaries that weren't big enough for my taste.
Therefore I wrote a small program to parse the data from dict.cc into the xdxf format, ready for the converter (which I got from this forum, thanks) to load these into the binary dic format by pocketbook. If you are wondering: My script only picks the translation of the words, no explanations or grammatical informations. I think, that another languages won't work with my tool - it has to be customized for it.

Please check it out. I am open for criticism and improvements. If you want, feel free to contribute to my repo. If you need help, feel free to ask.

:thanks:

InkPad 3: Cannot write to internal memory or SD

Hello

It is no longer possible to write to the internal memory or SD-card of my InkPad 3 through PC/USB.

When I try to transfer a file, it gets stuck on 'calculating'. When I try and make a new file on the SD or internal memory (using creat new -> Folder/Document) my entire explorer.exe gets stuck. Only way to solve it is

It used to be that the InkPad would often lose connection during the transfer constantly, but since today I cannot write to either anymore. Also takes minutes for the SD and internal memory to be reachable/recognized by explorer.exe.

Reformat has been done on both internal memory and SD. Problem remains identical. Tried initiating transfer on 3 different devices, but it remains the same.

Anyone got any idea? Been looking it up for hours now, and I cannot seem to find anyone with this issue.

Not hopeful at all, but thanks in advance.

Hi,

I have been using my Pocketbook HD 3 for quite some time now and recently started to develop some applications for it. One is a nextcloud client application to download ebooks from your cloud to the PB.

You can download it here

Where to download firmware 5.19.1055 for PB Touch HD 3?

I recently purchased a PB Touch HD 3 and noticed that it came with Software version: U632.5.19.1055, Release date: 20191219_020134 ...

I see that https://www.pocketbook-int.com/int/s...ook-touch-hd-3 only has versions 5.19.832, 6.0.926, and 6.1.900 available for download.

Does anyone know where I could get 5.19.1055, in case I wanted to reload my original firmware on my device after trying out the newer versions?

Programmed obsolescence or low-end screen

After 17 months of use, the screen dropped out between readings. I read in the evening and in the morning no more screen. The reader is still "functional" but only the lower part of the screen still responds.

This is disappointing for a £156 reader. It is guaranteed for two years but the repair policy is appalling and the answer is "mechanical fault" which is not covered, it will cost 100€ in repair costs. I would be surprised to know what is mechanical in this reading light as it is tactile.

They make fun of the customer and win on all fronts... :angry:

I'm not ready to recommend this reading light or to buy a new one from the brand...

Stretching Images on a PB

I read epubs with embedded images (e.g. illustrations in fiction books). Since my PB's screen (Touch HD 3) is small, I like to stretch out the images to look at them in detail. Yes, I know how to use my two fingers and perform a stretching motion, but my problem is this: the images do zoom in, but they snap back to the original (small) size after a few seconds, and all text in the epub are subsequently enlarged.

What am I doing wrong?

Files from the applications dir are displayed as books

I recently purchased a PocketBook InkPad 3 Pro. I don't like the default reading app. So I installed KOReader. KOReader is much more my style. However, now the opening screen shows many (50+) new books which aren't new books at all. They're files in the applications/koreader directory.

How do I remove those "books" from the book database (without actually removing them from the applications directory), and I how do I stop the applications directory from being searched for new media?

Thanks!

After 6.1 upgrade page numbers off

A book that was 577 pages in firmware 5.19.1055 is now 989 pages in firmware 6.1.900. The 577 is the ePub page numbering that shows up across eReaders. Is there way to make the HD3 (with 6.1.x firmware) display the right number? I'm using built-in numbering, not the page per screen setting. If not I'll have to revert to 5.19.832. I like consistency.

Sometimes, when I'm flipping through an epub's pages quickly, I get that icon on the bottom left corner of the screen. What is it for, and can it be disabled so it doesn't show up?

Whitespot (or Bleeding?) on a Pocketbook 632 Aqua

Hello,

Does anyone has experienced the same case as me on Pocketbook 632?
Mine is Pocketbook 632 Aqua.

Suddenly something like a white spot or maybe like LCD bleeding appears on the corner and likely it getting larger.
For as long as I remember, it never dropped or crashed. I always put it on a magnetic flip case cover, an official from Pocketbook.

Any tips to remove it? Or I should replace the screen with the new one?

Thanks,

PocketBook Color mixed up .cbz pages

:help:

Can anyone please explain to me why the default Pocketbook cbz reader app mixes up the pages on all of my cbz files?

At first I thought it was just not assuming zeroes before numbers, for example if I name my pages
1, 2, 3, 4, etc...

they would get jumbled and become
1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 2, 20, 21, etc...

This is all super frustrating, but manageable, I would just need to do the tedius thing and put zeroes in front of all the numbers and it should come out correctly.

But now this book just completely got mixed up on me going like this
25, 26, 27, 28, 13, 14, 01, 02, 03, 04

just complete nonsense as far as I can tell.

I have no idea why this is happening but I am officially at my wits end with this device. Can anyone explain to me what is happening here and what I might do to read my comic books in the correct page order?

PBibFix - Fix duplicate authors

PocketBook is very picky about metadata found in epubs.
  • Infos about book series can only be found when they are in a specific order.
  • Author names can only be found if the XML namespace is exactly opf.
  • (Not sure whether or not this is an issue) Books which were deleted from the device and from the cloud still are present in the database.
Please note: The application will not fix the meta data inside the books. It will only fix the entries in pocketbook's database.

I only have a Touch HD3 with firmware U632.6.1.900 so this is the only Version where I can test. Please feel free to report about other devices or firmware versions where you ran it successfully.
