=====================================================
For the Kindle Paperwhite you need currently to be familiar with accessing and
starting programs from the command line to use it.
What works:
- reading e-books
- opening other e-books
- setting options
- battery display
- searching
- bookmarking
- screen refresh for removing e-ink artifacts
* automatic after a configurable amount of pages
- limited dictionary support
The zip file contains standard Kindle update files. Put the
hackedupreader_x.x.x_install.bin into your user data directory,
select Menu -> Settings -> Menu -> Update Your Kindle for installing
it.
The tar.gz only contains HackedUpReader. Extract the tar.gz file into
your Kindle Touch user data directory.
For display quality and preventing crashes when using non-standard fonts install
this version of the freetype library:

Controls
--------
When in the main screen, touching in the lower half of the screen
opens the next page, touching in the upper half opens the previous
page (customizable as of 0.2.0 in the settings "Page turning").
Touching the top bar will open the menu.
When in the menu, touching the top bar acts as 'Ok', touching the
bottom bar on the left side will open the previous menu page,
touching the right side will open the next menu page if there are any.
Touching numbered sections in the menu will select them or open any
existing sub menu.
Known Bugs
----------
Pressing the home button when a document is being shown in the standard
Kindle reader, the home screen will be shown without any possibility to
return to HackedUpReader. Current workaround is to restart the kindle.
