eBookReaderSwitch

This is a project I've recently just started working on again. Currently its using MuPDF as its backend. Currently only most pdf files work.

Features:

• Saves last page number
• Reads PDF files
• Dark and light mode
• Landscape reading view
• Portrait reading view

Current State:

• Most PDF files work, and all epub, cbz and xps files I've tested work.

TODO:

• Do some extra testing on file compatibility.
• 2 pages side by side in landscape.
• Touch screen for going to next page.
• Hardware lock to prevent accidental touches (maybe Vol- ?) (?).
• Save orientation, and dark mode settings.

• moronigranja - For allowing more file support
• NX-Shell Team - A good amount of the code is from an old version of their application.

Building

• Release built with libnx release v.4.1.3.
• Uses freetype and other libs which comes with switch-portlibs via devkitPro pacman:

pacman -S libnx switch-portlibs

then run:

make mupdf
make

to build.

if you don't have twili installed then delete the -ltwili flag on:
