Mangue - Online Manga Reader

The Mangue is a reader for online mangas avaliable at Manga Panda. It needs access to the internet to work.

Feedbacks are welcome. The project was mainly tested on Kindle 4, but it seems to work on Kindle 3 (although we do not use the Kindlet-1.2.jar).

Build Instructions

1. Install the requirements.

• Java 1.4 or greater.
• Apache Ant.

2. Create the .kindle directory in your user home.

• Copy the following from your Kindle /lib
  • Kindlet-1.3.jar
  • json_simple-1.1.jar
  • log4j-1.2.15.jar
• Copy the developer.keystore file from your Kindle.

3. Create the local.properties file the project root.

• Add the line keystore.alias.prefix=test. Replace test with your keystore alias prefix.
• Add the line keystore.storepass=password to the file. Replace password with the keystore password.
• Both values, test and password are the default for Amazon's keystore. At least for the Kindle 4.

4. Run the command ant.
5. The signed package Mangue.azw2 should have been created in the build directory.

Installation

To install Mangue, you first have have to jailbreak you Kindle device so that the developer keystore is installed. Take a look at this post from the Mobile Read forum.

Afterwards, copy the signed package Mangue.azw2 into the your Kindle documents directory.

The compiled package can be found under Releases. Remember to look for the most recent one.

Usage

Mangue is very simple to be used. Once you start it, you should see the message bellow:
