Vita Book Edit is an application that allows you to add EPUBS to the PS Vita into a format compatible with the Vita's eBook Reader application.

It was developed to be used with the E-Book Reader Mod by GrapheneCt.

Supported format:

The Vita only reads EPUBs with image files as pages and a maximum size of 1.2 MB.
Specifically it supports EPUB books with .jpg, .png or .svg files used as pages (so no plaintext epub).
You can use Kindle Comic Converter to convert .CBZ files or set of images to EPUB. Use "Other" preset and uncheck "Stretch/Upscale".

Using Vita Book Edit:

Connect your PS Vita to your PC via USB with VitaShell.
Your PS Vita should now be connected to your PC as an external USB device like a pen drive.
Open the Vita Book Edit, press "ux0: Location (Memory Card)" and select the drive your PS Vita is mounted as.
Press "+ (Add Book)", select the ePub file you wish to add, fill in the details and press "Save Details".

Notes:

In version 0.5 of Vita Book Edit, there’s a bug in which cover.jpg might not be generated in the directory of the new book.
To remedy this, add a cover.jpg file to ‘ux0:/book/00000000BLKSTOK1/book[num].

v0.5

Application has been made compatible with the ReaderMod plugin by GrapheneCt.
Now checks if 'book.epub' is found instead of 'metadata.xml'.
Clean Empty Folder now deletes the folder if 'book.epub' is not found.
The Library path has been changed to ux0:/book/u/00000000BLKSTOK1/bookXX (Direct the application to the root of your memory card).
Settings file now properly formated to work well.
Ensures the "PCSC80012/00000000BLKSTOK1" path is created in the reAddcont folder.
Added a default spine and back image.
The library now refreshes after adding a New Book or Editing a Book.
