Just tried using it. Quite Good. But better if there is a landscape mode. (WM 6.0 HP ipaq 212)

This is just a book downloader. It uses Office Mobile or other custom reader to show the books. The downloaded books are .txt at base.

I will try. My device is VGA and the emulator doesn't work on Windows 7. I will try to think of a way.

Good work so far. Can anyone suggest a nice fingerfriendly reader to open the .ebk files? Pocket word does not finger scroll, which makes reading that way a bit tedious.
can i rename the file type and use it in adobe pdf or something?

Am I doing something wrong here? :confused:

gonna try it now - there is a strong need for a prog like this - if you could skin it to match tf3d then you'd have a real winner + kinetic scroll! - what about the file compatibility options?

I wouldn't mind testing this and providing feedback. However, I don't have a vga device. I own a HTC TyTN II. :(

I have Xperia X1 I'll try this app out.... already using quite a cool app called Vade Mecum (http://vade-mecum.sourceforge.net/) to read .pdb files. Got a desktop app (http://www.plkr.org/) that turns web pages into .pdb - useful for project gutenburg and so on. As you can see there's been no work on that for a few years now.

The Xperia is WVGA of course, so we'll see how it goes.

Just mentioning some of the features Vade Mecum has that I like: assign quadrants of the screen to pull down menu, page up, page down etc. Like invisible buttons.
That's kind of it really I guess lol.

just for your interest...

i tested it on a blackstone with energyrom wm6.5 and installed it on device.

the first page where you listed the books doesn't load fullscreen, but the settings window works just fine. I don't know how to make a screenshot so if you pm me how to do that I will send you the screen.

I can change language but the icon says "gr" when I select "Dutch".

How can I go to " online mode" ? My data connection is online but i still get the message "can't search, offline modus"..
