KOReader Plugin

Bug Fixes

• Older Kindle receiver support: 32-bit ARM builds now work on Amazon Linux 2.6.31 kernels (such as Paperwhite 1 / firmware 5.6.1.1) that lack epoll_pwait and accept4. The receiver can start, show up in LocalSend, and complete transfers again.
• Update checks on older Kindles: "Check for updates" no longer fails with HTTP status: 000 when the firmware certificate bundle is too old to validate GitHub. Requests use KOReader's CA bundle when available.
• Legacy iptables support: Firewall setup works on older firmware that lacks iptables -C, or only ships iptables under common sbin paths.

Improvements

• Legacy Kindle compatibility docs: Documented the verified firmware and syscall boundary, plus the release overlay and audit workflow used for older Amazon kernels.

Installation

1. Download the zip for your device's architecture:

   • armv7 — Kindle (all models), Kobo, reMarkable 2, PocketBook
   • arm64 — reMarkable Paper Pro
   • arm-legacy — Kindle 3, Kindle DX, older 32-bit ARM devices

   Not sure? Try armv7 first. Use arm-legacy only if armv7 doesn't work on older hardware.

2. Extract localsend.koplugin to your KOReader plugins directory:

   • Kindle: /mnt/us/koreader/plugins/
   • Kobo: /.adds/koreader/plugins/
   • reMarkable: /home/root/koreader/plugins/

3. Restart KOReader
