Welcome to the Device Backup & Restore wiki! This plugin makes it simple to back up, restore, migrate, and wirelessly transfer your KOReader reading environment directly on your e-reader.

Whether you are switching to a new device, protecting your custom fonts and reading progress, or sharing your setup with another reader, this guide covers everything you need to know.

Quick Start: How It Works

  1. Back Up in Seconds: Tap Create Backup in the menu, pick what you want to save (settings, plugins, fonts, reading progress), and save your archive.
  2. Move to a New Device: Transfer your backup file—or use Beam to Device to send it wirelessly over WiFi with a 6-character code.
  3. Restore with Peace of Mind: Restoring automatically adjusts screen settings for your new device model, and creates a safety snapshot so you can undo changes at any time.
