This is a document reader for the Sony PSP, made by Nguyen Chi Tam (nct2k) based on bookr v0.7.1.

It supports plain text, PDF, CHM, HTML, DJVU, PalmDoc documents.

Installation

Download contains version 8.1 by nct2k, v8.1 signed by HomebrewStore Development Team and external font pack (optional CJK PDF support).

To install, copy the Bookr folder to your ms0:/PSP/GAME/ folder.

(Optional) In order to support Chinese, Japanese and Korean PDF documents an external font pack must be downloaded and installed:

• Create the following folder to ms0:/PSP/GAME/Bookr/fonts/.
• Extract the contents of the cjk-fonts-1.zip file into the fonts folder.

User guide

CHM file

When you choose to open an CHM file, Bookr will try to extract the CHM content to the cache folder (no need to extract later).

The extracting job will be executing in background if the CHM contains valid HHC file (table of content); otherwise Bookr will try to extract all htm files first and open the index.htm file as start page.

In worst case, it will list all the htm files extracted. Then the extracting thread will continue to extract all other files such as images, css...

So you may see pages with all images missing at first; but after the Memory Stick LED light stop blinking (indicate 'extracting complete'), please refresh the page to see the full content page.

Bookr opens a Browser with 2 tabs: TOC and Content; please use Square+L/R to switch between them.
