										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Mostly notes to myself)</p>

<p><a href="https://koreader.rocks/">KOReader</a> is the best eReader software I've found. It works beautifully on eInk screens, Android, and Linux. Just a gorgeous - and infinitely customisable - experience.</p>

<p>There's one thing I don't like - to move forward a page, you have to click the right of the screen and, to move back, the left. That's fine if you're holding the book in your right hand. But sometimes I behave in a sinister fashion and hold it in my left. I want to tap the bottom of the screen to move forward, and the top to move back a page.</p>

<p>My previous eReader had an easy-settings menu like this:
<img src="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/0-page-fs8.png" alt="Various forward and back configurations." width="1024" height="326" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-38360"></p>

<p>KOReader doesn't have anything like that - yet - so here's how to set it up manually.</p>

<ol>
<li>In the book selection screen (<em>not</em> when reading a book) tap the top of the screen to bring up the menu bar, then press 🛠️ for Tools<br><img src="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/1-Tools-fs8.png" alt="" width="500" height="667" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-38367"></li>
<li>At the bottom of the menu, scroll across to page 2<br><img src="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/2-Tools-2-fs8.png" alt="" width="500" height="248" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-38366"></li>
<li>Select "More Tools"<br><img src="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/3-More-fs8.png" alt="" width="500" height="368" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-38365"></li>
<li>Select "Advanced Settings"<br><img src="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/4-Warning-fs8.png" alt="" width="500" height="286" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-38364"></li>
<li>Read the big scary warning message and press "OK"<br><img src="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/5-Advanced-Settings-fs8.png" alt="" width="500" height="667" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-38363"></li>
<li>Scroll along until you find "<code>DTAP_ZONE_BACKWARD</code>". Tap on it, and edit the values to read <code>h=0.5 w=1 x=0 y=0</code><br><img src="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/6-Backwards-fs8.png" alt="" width="500" height="237" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-38362"></li>
<li>For "<code>DTAP_ZONE_FORWARD</code>", set the values to <code>h=0.5 w=1 x=0 y=0.5</code>"<br><img src="https://shkspr.mobi/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/7-Forwards-fs8.png" alt="" width="500" height="231" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-38361"></li>
<li>Press the "X" in the top right corner, and restart KOReader.</li>
</ol>

<p>Done!</p>
