Just tried out bookr in PPSSPP and it loads in jit with 4x resolution, and can browse the switch filesystem. Just name the .pbp something like bookr.pbp and put it in the root of your sdcard. Name a folder books, put the txt, pdf or html files you want to view in there - and you are good to go. Load retroarch, the psp core, then the pbp (content)
. Set the resolution to 4x - even in portable mode. Invert the color scheme (left/right) on the color scheme option, disable page numbers to be shown (toast like pop ups).



So currently this probably is the best Book/Text/pdf reader on the system.

This would change though, if somone would find the time to port the Vita fork, which already comes with higher screen resolution implementation, and epub support. See: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-bookr-mod-vita-0-2-0.496911/

For now, you can download the PSP version of bookr by googling bookr psp, or downloading this small fork (v8.2), which already comes with a few fonts bundled:

edit: Reading progression is saved if you simply exit the app from menu, at which point it will crash, but you can still enter the RA menu and exit out from there. Bookmarks also work.

If you want to read books or comics on the Switch, I'd recommend setting up an Ubooquity server. It works well in the embedded Switch browser, supports epub, cbz, cbr, pdf, etc, and you can have it in portrait, using a simple CSS3 rotation on an iframe. Though, I haven't used the book reader as much as the comic reader, so YMMV.

    He already asked earlier

    I am trying to find someone with knowledge on that willing to help me
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I and Hayato warned him not to, but he won't listen
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa,
    I don't listen? What didn't I listen at? I just want to know all the possible risks on that part
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Hayato even said it's dangerous to backup the save files to CFW
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    how is this dangerous? A ton of people did this it's the most common thing to do with CFW
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Then do it
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    dude, whatever
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not trying to hate, I tried to help you in the switch noob thread by asking for you, but you don't want to accept the answers you got, so do whatever then.

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Man, first of all thanks for your willing to help, much appreciated. But, it's not that I "don't want to listen", rather than I need soemone to EXPLAIN to me how and why all these are risky.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Putting your dick in certain areas is always a risk

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    For example, HOW is is risky to get banned if you extract the save files to the CFW?
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    isn't this proccess be done while you're offline?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We are not Nintendo, so we don't know exactly how/why/when they ban, but better to stay on the safe side and not do shady stuff, if you don't want to be banned. Hayato is one of the most knowledgeable ones here on the subject and I believe what he says.

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Yes ofc we don't know how Nintendo bans work, but if there are situations where a lot of people have tried safely then we can at least assume that this path is pretty much safe. To say don't try anything homebrew relative just to be safe forever is the easiest thing to say to someone. What I am trying to figure out here is with which cases and what actions got most of the people their bans for.
