How To Install KOReader on e-Readers running Android - It's very easy!

I absolutely love using KOReader on all my ebook readers. I have done Tutorials on how to install KOReader on Kobo e-Readers before, but I have got questions from my viewers on how to install it on Android based ebook readers. I thought it was so easy to do that so no tutorial was needed but apparently some users wanted that so here is a tutorial on how to install KOReader on e-Readers that runs Android operating system. I show how to do it on both my Onyx Boox Palma and my Bigme B751c ebook readers. One B&W Carta 1200 e-reader and one Color Kaleido 3 ebook reader. Both running Android. It works about the same on all Android based e-readers that you can install Android apps on that you download as .apk files.

I always assumed it to be very tedious to install an APK file, imagining that I have to download on PC and transfer it to the tablet. I never would have known that it could be done this effortlessly. Thank you for making this video for a seemingly self-explaining topic! (For me it was not, until I saw you showing how this works 😊 Thank you!)

You’re welcome. I’m glad to help

[@michaelspotts5011]

Thanks you. I just got a Book Page and this tutorial is just what I needed.

[@svartling]

Great. Please let me know how good the buttons and rotation works in KOReader

[@oinkydoodle]

Thank you so much for this!!! I was having trouble lol

[@oinkydoodle]

Hmmm several things are not working on my Palma. For example, koreader will not control the front light. Is there a way to fix that?

[@svartling]

I swipe up and down on left and right side of the screen. The built in Palma controls. No you can unfortunately not control that in KOReader.

[@oinkydoodle]

@@svartling hello! I have another question: does controlling the front light from within Koreader work on any of the other boox devices? For example, the Go Color 7? Or does not work on android, period? I much prefer having that ability so I will stick with kobo if that’s the case. But I really like the Go Color 7. Thanks!

[@svartling]

@oinkydoodle it doesn’t work on android devices what I know of if you can’t turn that feature off in android. If it’s off in android you can try to use that feature in KOReader

[@theirene]

Thank you sir!

[@svartling]

You’re welcome

[@lbineau]

Thanks for this straight to the point tutorial. Koreader have an issue when the Boox goes to sleep mode. Koreader is displaying a black screen when waking up and I have to restart the app, which is not convenient. Any idea?

[@svartling]

That doesn’t happen to me so I don’t know what’s the problem

[@lbineau]

@@svartling ok, weird. Thanks for the answer

[@jonasamna]

Really nice instructions Stefan, how about Koreader Updates, does it update automaticly or do you have to download and install the file seperetly from github ?

[@svartling]

You can update from the menu in the settings of KOReader. Manually

[@svartling]

But it’s a very smooth manual update. So no downloads separately. KOReader do it for you.

I recently bought a Boox Page, my first e-reader and first Android device. I followed your directions for installing KOReader without difficulty. Previously I had used Libby to downloaded two files from my local library, and read parts of each with Libby. (wifi was off when I was reading so I know they were downloaded and not streamed.) How do I find those books when I use KOReader?

[@svartling]

They are probably DRM protected because they are from the library. Then you can’t read them in KOReader. That’s why you can’t find them in KOReader

[@ReadListenWithMi25]

Hi Stefan, thank you for sharing the step-by-step guide. I just want to ask if this can be done to the Sony PRS-600 reader? Thank you so much!

[@svartling]

I don’t think so. Do it run Android?

[@richardreiman8202]

How do you get books onto the Ko Reader without side-loading, which I don't know how to do? Is there a Ko Reader store?

[@svartling]

No you have to own the books yourself and they need to be drm free. Then you can add them by wireless transfer or sideloading

[@richardreiman8202]

@@svartling Thank you.

[@tiffanyjohnson9152]

How do you get the books within each device to sync with each other?

[@svartling]

With KOReader you sadly need to add them manually to all readers first then they sync reading progress automatically
