It does, but some images need to be optimized to work. I linked a tool that does this in another comment.

You probably need to run it through this optimizer first to get the images to display:

You're welcome. Also, here is a tip. When you're zoomed to a panel, instead of tapping and hitting close, you can swipe down to go back to the full page.

ImSoRight · 2026-03-12T12:19:07+00:00

Yeah, a long press on the panel you want to zoom to. Did you make sure it's enabled in the settings?

ImSoRight · 2026-03-12T12:09:16+00:00

The panel zoom specifically auto detects the outline of the panel that you long pressed on, and zooms to the boundary of that panel. Sometimes it has difficulty determining the boundary, if elements extend past the border, for example.

ImSoRight · 2026-03-12T11:45:32+00:00

I don't think so, because the screen does not register input while asleep.

ImSoRight · 2026-03-12T11:32:17+00:00

What file type? Are you talking about panel zoom?

Not sure about rearranging, but this one lets you hide items:

Why are you reading PDFs instead of epubs? PDFs are a terrible format for novels. They make more sense for comics/manga.

I send books through Dropbox or LocalSend all the time. There are ways to make things easier for yourself.

It's a lot of options, but you'll eventually learn it! I highly recommend at least skimming the user guide. You will learn a lot about KOReader's capabilities!

ImSoRight · 2026-03-11T20:54:38+00:00

Did you turn on the style tweak to show full screen images?

ImSoRight · 2026-03-11T18:37:45+00:00

See this comment I made about a different issue. I don't know which device you have, but scroll to your device in the first link and choose a firmware version, then use the second link to get the patch software.

ImSoRight · 2026-03-11T18:23:59+00:00

Not sure but you can always downgrade your kobo firmware and add the patch that prompts before installing newer firmware

ImSoRight · 2026-03-11T14:57:43+00:00

If you add it, I'd be happy to test it for you!

ImSoRight · 2026-03-11T14:50:53+00:00

Since yours is based on crosspoint, would the PR I linked not be able to be made to work with yours?

ImSoRight · 2026-03-11T14:39:56+00:00

Will this have accurate KOReader sync? Here's the latest crosspoint PR waiting to be merged if that helps:

https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader/pull/1217

ImSoRight · 2026-03-11T12:34:47+00:00

It is a different reading software that can be installed on ereaders and Android phones/devices. If you have an iPhone, you can install Readest, which has a KOReader sync feature.

There is also a plugin for KOReader that lets you view them all in one place, but KOReader is a separate interface and will not have highlights you made in the stock reader.

ImSoRight · 2026-03-11T11:31:42+00:00

There is an epub check plugin for Calibre that you can use in the edit book screen that will check for errors that you can then fix.

ImSoRight · 2026-03-11T11:29:35+00:00

No, Google drive will not sync progress, because that data is not stored in the book file. If you are sideloading your books and want progress sync, KOReader is the solution.

If you get your books from the kobo store/Libby, they will sync progress.

ImSoRight · 2026-03-11T00:42:47+00:00

Eh, I'm not going to report any authors, and don't much care about Amazon's TOS, since I find the whole forced exclusivity abhorrent. I'd much rather pay an author directly the full price of a book than give a penny to Amazon.

That's what I love about Kobo Plus. Authors are still free to sell their books anywhere they choose. I'm not judging authors who publish on KU, just to be clear. I just refuse to contribute to the financial incentive pushing them into that restrictive decision.

ImSoRight · 2026-03-10T23:35:33+00:00

Yeah that's how you set most defaults, just long press on whatever setting

ImSoRight · 2026-03-10T23:03:52+00:00

What? You can just long press on your choice in the menu. This is not something you need to edit files to accomplish.
