Ebook Reader is a homebrew application that well... allows you to read ebooks on your 3ds.
Source is available on github, if you want to have a look or contribute. Feel free to suggest things to add. -> todo list
What this can do as of the first alpha:
Read a book in a VALID AND COMPLIANT .EPUB format. Convert your ebooks to this format using calibre. Make sure its as strict as possible.
Saving bookmarks to an XML format.
Loading bookmarks from XML. Easy to add your own manually if you want.
Status bar to keep track of time / battery.
Read a book in a fixed-width way (will be improved eventually).
Place books in a folder named "books" on the root of your SD card. Some books can take a while to load! Be patient!
Please note, large books can take time to load. Use the .cia build if you can.
Controls:
(A) = Accept
(X) = Delete book/bookmark
(Start) = Exit
(Select) = Bookmark page
(Up) = Scroll up lists
(Down) = Scroll down lists
(Left) = Previous Page
(Right) = Next Page
Known Issues:
As this is the first alpha build that is usable, there are naturally a few issues.
- Crashes if book is not formatted correctly.
- Freezes the 3dsx, but crashes the cia, use cia so you know if its just loading not frozen.
- Multiple apostrophes e.g. ''' instead of " for quotes. Sometimes you will see '' in spaces. Will be fixed eventually.
- Some people may not like the font, but I chose what I thought was the most readable monospaced font. If you have a better font that is monospaced, please suggest it!
