A document reader for the PSVita ported from the PSP application bookr-mod, canonically based on the HBS version. You can find some notes here.

How's it better than the original?
- Uses the full resolution of the VITA
- Has support for more than just PDF, thanks to newer muPDF

What's Done:
- Handles all formats muPDF can handle (PDF, CBZ, HTML, ePub, fb2)
- D-Pad Up/Down of Document
- Left Analog Panning
- Saves/Loads last position in a book and on page turn
- UI Looks similar to Original

What's Not:
- Zoom (Currently files fit's to Vita's width) and Rotation
- Touch Screen Controls
- Other Documents Types (mobi, djvu, CBR)
- Bookmarks
- Icon Sub Menu
- Fully Customisable Controls/UI

Future
- muPDF is used quite naively right now, could improve performance using threads and other muPDF functionality (Display Lists)
- Discover/Download free books from Gutenberg and such
- Dictionary
- Highlighting/Adding marks to PDF
- SMB?
- Translations

Installation

Download .vpk here and instal viat VitaShell.
Put any compatible ebooks somewhere in ux0: e.g. ux0:Books.
