Homebrew [WIP] EBook Reader! Read EBooks on your 3DS! (Alpha 1)

[mordorer]

finally! TY

 

[Smoker1]

Does not work for me. Installed via .cia, Loaded it, then after a few Flickers on the Screen, it apparently crashes and does a Quick Restart of the System.

 

[mordorer]

tried some ebooks (italian language), and or the app crashes, or the app freezes when loading. :/

edit:
after some minutes of loading, a book loaded, but has missing characters, like è à ò , very important for other languages books.

Stay tuned, new update coming out soon. Spoilers: It has css now

Cool, I'm looking forward to it!

 

[Nanquitas]

Love the idea of the app !

Thank you for that and keep up the great works !!

 

[Smoker1]

Will there be an option to Rotate the Book so it will be in Portrait Mode? Also, based on the Image listed, will the Wordings be corrected? Saw a line that ended like this:
This is an example of the i
mage shown in the main P
ost.

 

[Roboman]

I will look into it. Could be a missing file, not entirely sure. Should be fixed next version regardless.



Next version will allow for custom font file so you can use an italian font which will fix this.




Stay tuned, new update coming out soon. Spoilers: It has css now

If you can detect when characters are missing from the font in use, you can replace them with something like the default hax font. better to display an ugly character than nothing at all, right?

Is there any news on the progression of this program?

 

[Magical Sheep]

This is really neat! Sadly, I don't have a use for it, but I know someone who may. Will this have support for Kindle books? I've heard that they have some type of DRM lock, but I don't know for sure.

 

[Deleted User]

They do, you can remove it in Calibre

 

[Smoker1]

When he says Valid and Compliant EPubs, what does that mean? Mean if you get a Book from say B&N, take it from your Device or PC and use that? Or one that has been removed of any DRM?

 

[pdapanda]

I think you can have a look at the way how JK implemented Japanese support in JKSM
https://github.com/J-D-K/JKSM/tree/cleanup

When I changed the font， the other languages worked as well.

 

[Smoker1]

Any Updated Releases coming soon to see how it works?

 

[dogmarch]

I think the dev last worked on it 9 days ago according to his github.

 

[EmuAGR]

Please, don't. My glasses come from reading Haruhi Suzumiya series in my old (but gold) DS. You've been warned!

 

[Urbanshadow]

Hey, I don't want to sound rude or anything, but have you thought about putting the homebrew sideways? It would add more vertical space for reading and should give users a more "book"-y feel!

Like this, perhaps? But I would really use the top screen for text and the buttons for page passing.

Going to need to have a How-To on that one. I have Calibre for Win64. But I select a Book I have, hit Convert, and yeah............ . What Settings do I change if any? Just hit Convert, to ePub as is?

 

[Hopalongtom]

Is it possible for this to read .txt files? Or is it just easier to convert the files to an .EPUB?
