Drider is a epub reader for the Nintendo 3DS. It is written in Lua using Rinnegatamante's Lua Player Plus 3ds.
Installation
Available in 3DSX and CIA formats.
- CIA - Install the .cia with the CIA manager of your choice.
- 3DSX - Use the .3dsx provided with the homebrew launcher.
Put your ebooks in a folder called books at the root of your SD card.
Drider works best on text-heavy, low-formatting books such as novels.
User guide
Limitations
- Does not support css or any kind of inline styling, such as <b> or <i> tags.
- Does not handle non-ascii text well. If you're reading a utf-8 encoded book then it tries to translate some of the most common symbols to ascii equivalents, but the conversion is incomplete so mojibake is common.
- Text rendering on the 3DS is not very good so you will see plenty of bad kerning.
- Drider can crash with books that contain large images. If the images are not important then consider disabling them (x button at the book select screen).
Bookmark
- If an ebook has a page bookmarked then drider will jump to that page when you load the ebook.
- Only one page can be bookmarked at a time per ebook.
