Ebook Reader is a homebrew application that well... allows you to read ebooks on your 3ds.
Next update delayed. I will have it done when its ready. I will continue to support this. Thank you for your patience.
Source is available on github, if you want to have a look or contribute. Feel free to suggest things to add. -> todo list
Download here.
What this can do as of the first alpha:
Controls:
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!

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!
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
