This release only works with KOReader official release version 2026.07

Please carefully follow the installation instructions.



VERY IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU HAVE ANY USER PATCHES FOR PT

The KOReader developers changed the way plugins are identified and as a result, ALL user patches written for PT need to be updated in order to keep working. The change is VERY simple, just one word, and instructions can be found here.

If you run into any errors with user patches after making that change to them feel free to open an issue here and I'll try to help.



New Features

  • New custom sort methods are included.
    • You can sort by number of pages, if the page count is available. See the wiki for details on how to add page counts to books.
    • You can sort by author first or last names. The last name of an author is calculated using the same method Calibre uses to autogenerate the "Sort Author." There are no settings for this in the UI but every aspect of it can be modified via a user patch.
    • You can sort by "Author last name, Series, Title" which is probably the most commonly asked for sort order.
    • You can disable all of these extra sorts under Advanced Settings if you don't want them.
  • Better integration with the Kobo plugin by @OGKevin primarily focused on covers and other metadata.
  • Support for the new KOReader "delete plugin" and "delete plugin settings" features. If you want to remove PT you may now do so from your device itself. If you select the option to remove settings then the fonts, icons, and cache database will all be deleted as well.
  • Every function in ptutil has been changed to non-local to allow for simple and direct user patching. If you previously ran into an issue making a user patch because a function in ptuil was declared as local, you can try again.
  • A couple personal preferences in how series names and numbers are formatted have been removed, the default behavior is now to show exactly what is in the metadata.

Bugs Fixed

  • Older Kindle devices without a touchscreen were not able to access icons in the top toolbar. A new user patch is provided in the "resources" folder that fixes this. There's another patch available at my user patch repo to handle extra top toolbar items you might have added manually. If this affects you, you will need to move the 2-nontouch-toolbar-fix.lua file into the KOReader patches folder. See this wiki page for more information.
