Installation Guide
- Jailbreak your Kindle.
- Install "Launchpad" tool.
- Firstly download the latest release from the Download page.
- Create a folder named "customupdates" on the Kindle and copy the zip file into it.
- Press Shift-Shift-I sequence on the Kindle for installion
(if this is the first time you use launchpad: you only have 0.7 secs for the sequence!).
You can modify launchpad settings to make the key sequence easier to press:
- Edit the launchpad.ini in the installed folder in your Kindle.
- Change
HotInterval = 700
toHotInterval = 1500
- Change
InterKeyDelay = 300
toInterKeyDelay = 700
- Press Shift-Shift-Space sequence on the Kindle to reload launchpad.
- Done! now you can run the viewer via a Shift-P-D sequence.
- make sure Kite is installed. You can find the software and instructions here:
- unzip the contents of the installation ZIP file in the root directory of the volume the Kindle presents via USB
- Kite should now present two new pseudo-documents for starting
While Launchpad is handy, it's not very user friendly. You might also want to try [KUAL][kual], which is an awesome GUI launcher for all kindle devices. twobob wrote a [guide][kual-guide] for launching KPV with KUAL.

###Uninstallation: Please note that uninstallation is not needed when updating the application. Just install a newer release ZIP as described above (unless otherwise mentioned). But if you want to remove it for good, this is the procedure:
-
Just delete "kindlepdfviewer" folder.
-
Also, delete "kpdf.sh" and "kpdf.ini" from the "launchpad" folder.
-
Delete KPDFviewer... files from "kite" folder".
-
You might want to scan the drive for files "*.kpdfview.lua", in which document specific settings got stored - and delete them too.
