    Default ebook reader for ds

    I have tried the DSLIBRIS and it seems quite good. Any others out there?

    I heard you can use the comic book viewer and convert pdf's to jpeg images and use them on there. Otherwise there is no good way of viewing pdf documents.

    Had a look at that program DSLIBRIS but it seems a bit weak only reads books in xhtml format. We need a true pdf reader for the ds but i doubt it'll ever come along at this rate.

    That sounds pretty good, I searched quite extensively a while a go and was gutted to find that the best/only one was that xhtml one. All the stuff I want to read is in PDF format. I'll have to look it up.

    I wonder if there is any way of converting ebooks to a format that '100 classic books' ROM may support and 'inserting' them into the file with all the other books?

    Thought i would bump this thread as i'm looking for an ebook reader and wondered if anyone has made any progress in this area or if anyone has perfected a method of converting pdf files and if so what software are you using...
    I've read a few tuts but they all seem to be pretty old and long winded.

    Thnx in advance....

    Sorry to hear that m8!
    To be honest its for my Dad, my brother bought him a dsi for his birthday.
    F#*k knows why as he won't use it.....
    Hence i thought if it was straight forward enough i would throw a load of scifi/thriller ebooks on it for him so he could make use of it on his hols. I've stuck some brain games on it and crosswords etc but i cant see him playing anything like mario. hahaaa...

    Should have kept my mouth shut now i've mentioned it he will peck me until i've sorted it
