Plato compatibility with Libra Colour?

shyhermit · Today, 10:16 AM

What is the current compatibility of Plato with the Libra Colour and Clara Colour?

I can't find any specific info on the compatibility, even on the developer's GitHub.

Also, given the current state of KOReader, I don't want to use the one-click installer to install BOTH KOReader and Plato. Is there a standalone installer for Plato only?

Lastly, if it is compatible, is there any major advantage of Plato over the default reader in Libra Colour in reading PDF? Am I correct that since Libra Colour supports annotating with a stylus, the annotation on a PDF can be saved with the PDF and then exported with annotation marks embedded inside the PDF (unlike ePub) like any other annotation software?

You can use the one-click installer for KOReader and then just copy over the KOReader folder from the latest nightly and it works perfectly. I can't speak for Plato but there is nothing wrong with KOReader right now.

The first post in the One-Click Install Packages for KOReader & Plato thread has 4 packages, KOReader, Plato, both Plato and KOReader and the last one to reinstall KFMon after a firmware update (if you use KFmon).

Just found this...

https://github.com/baskerville/plato/issues/364

According to developer (posted just yesterday), the current version (OCP-Plato-0.9.42) does not work on Libra Color. User reports that install will cause device to freeze requiring a hard reboot.
