Homebrew Suggestion [PSA] bookr v8.1 works on PPSSPP in RA (someone port the vita fork)

[notimp]

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.
