    Do we have any software that handles *.epub files?

    This is my calibre database located on an samba drive. Currently it is just a viewer and the project is stalled for quite some time. Actually I hacked together the GUI on a weekend. It just allows to search and browse the list.

    Looks cool! How much work is there to make a full reader? A few years back I wouldn't have cared, but now ebooks are becoming very common.

    Just to cleaify. This is currently no port. It is a nativ application. The converter tools (if we continue the application) will be ports.

    I think the interest in a reader is quite low, as this is an application to mainly create, convert and transfer ebooks.
    However, converting them to pdf would give you the result needed and with VPDF there is a quite nice reader already available within MorphOS.

    A specific reader would never be perfect. Just imagine that ebooks can even be interactive with audio and video inside. I mainly use Calibre to convert own documents into epub, which I transfer to ipad using MorphOS, so all I would need is Calibe for converting.
