Popular Post Andreik Posted March 7, 2024 Popular Post Posted March 7, 2024 (edited) This is a portable application that can open ePUB books (EPUB 2 and EPUB 3) and it's made just with native AutoIt UDFs. It's a personal project since I have many ebooks but I post the code here just in case someone else need a portable and lightweight reader or simply to learn how to read ePUB files. Features: Load ePUB book Navigation through content (backward / forward / stop / refresh) with a visual indicator of chapters in the form of an interactive slider. Resizeable and (partially) customizable UI Custom CSS (partially) Jump to chapter Note: This is an early (experimental) release that might have undiscovered bugs and please note that some features are just partially implemented. I tested the application with a dozen of ePUB books but I am sure that some bugs might come to light soon, so if you found any just let me know and I will try to fix the application. I don't have enough space to upload the source and binary here but you can see the entire project on GitHub or download from AutoIt.

argumentum Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 (edited) added "ConsoleWrite('!

Andreik Posted March 7, 2024 Author Posted March 7, 2024 (edited) Ahhh, I forgot that not everyone have sqlite3.dll in @SystemDir. Just copy sqlite3.dll in script directory until I fix this. Edited March 7, 2024 by Andreik argumentum 1
argumentum Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 also any way to pre-set these other colors Follow the link to my code contribution ( and other things too ). FAQ - Please Read Before Posting.
Andreik Posted March 7, 2024 Author Posted March 7, 2024 (edited) @argumentum I was thinking that someone might use a dark theme or some fancy colors. It would be trivial to add customizable colors so it will be in next release. I kinda hesitate to implement this because the books loaded have their own css and probably the background color of the page will still be white. Edited March 7, 2024 by Andreik argumentum 1
argumentum Posted March 7, 2024 Posted March 7, 2024 (edited) On 3/7/2024 at 7:03 PM, Andreik said: background color of the page will still be white Expand in my case, for what I've seen, the bg color is expected to be white but is not the always the case. So if a FG color is chosen, a complementary BG should be chosen too. Some books are good. In the sense that don't have any colors in CSS, I think.

mLipok Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 From what I observe, I assume that the program always loads the entire chapter and currently it is not possible to divide the content of the chapter so that it is displayed page by page instead of in a sequence? What I mean here is eliminating the need to scroll down the IE browser page.
