Nintendo 3DS eBook Reader is a POC 3DS eBook Reader. The project is no longer in development.

Features

Read ebooks in .epub 3 or later format. You can use tools like sigil or calibre.
Saving bookmarks to XML format.
Loading bookmarks from XML. Easy to add your own manually if you want.
Status bar to keep track of time/battery.
Read a book in a fixed-width way.

Installation

Copy .cia to your SD card and install it with a CIA installer, such as FBI.

Place books as well as the bookmarks.xml in a folder named books on the root of your SD card.

Make sure your ebooks are in .epub extension, but are OEBPS/OEB (OPF) 2.0 format. You can use tools like sigil or calibre.

It is recommended to go to DRM-Free bookshops or public domain websites such as Project Gutenberg. Reason being this homebrew does not support books with DRM.

Note: This homebrew is only tested with English language books. Also some books can take a while to load. Be patient.
