Hello guys. I'd like to read my epub books on my DS but from what i see there is no direct way to do it. I've looked a litle into the DS developing tools and ePub format and it doesn't seem to be that difficult to create a homebrew that does just that. So, i'm willing to put the effort into it but only if i see that it would be useful for others.
In that regard I would like to know your opinions/suggestions.

PS: it would include also txt reading of course.

I would be much appreciative. Would there be any way of getting .lit files working as well? Thats a popular file extension and its a chore to reencode them all into .rtf to read on the DS.

.lit seems a little bit more complicated and i don't know about licensing!
I guess no one else reads, or they're just happy with DSread (which i love)

i use dsreader too but would prefer something that would read txt files sideways on like dslibris but without the need to re-encode everything i also have lots of epubs on my pc that i would like to read but re-encoding them to txt is a slow process
