Kreeder

Kreeder

Speed reading chrome extension for Kindle Cloud Reader.

KNOWN ISSUES:

  1. Pressing CTRL-SHIFT-SPACE repeatedly opens multiple Kreeder windows.
  2. Some issues with text extraction with special characters and non-latin characters (have not tested on non-English books)
  3. Books with lots of images, or books with multiple layouts (e.g. Any of the Dummies books with lots of callouts), will end up with text appearing in non-sequential order. Kreeder works best with plain text books (e.g. are the words only on the pages without any special blocks or formatting).
  4. Tested on Linux and Windows and Mac
  5. Windows 10 issue (not just Kreeder) where popup windows are wonky. The reader itself is fine, clicking on the icon gives you a headache.
