DSLibris

All this while, I had been looking for an ebook reader for my NDSL with chinese encoding support. After a few attempts, I find that DSLibris is sort of what I am looking for.

The part that made me struggled the most is that DSLibris supports only *.xhtml and *.xht formats. I find myself not that talented in transforming my utf-8 *.txt files into xhtml with AbiWord and HTML Tidy and HTML-Kit. A little bit frustration pushed me towards to explore the manual that comes together with DSLbris in *.xht format. I notice that the structure of the content is rather easy to be implied on my *.txt files.

Let's make a simple and effective example. Say you want to have an ebook of title "Matt Is Cool", and the content of the book is as simple as "Yes we all do agree". What you need to do is,

1. Open up your notepad.
2. Key in below:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>

Matt Is Cool

</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<PRE>

Yes we all do agree

</PRE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
3. Say if you want the ebook has the name "Bravo", click File > SaveAs, in the filename text field, type "Bravo.xht" (including both ") and click save.
4. Copy the file, i.e. Bravo.xht, to the root of your microSD memory card for your flashcard. And you're done.

I find that it takes quite a while for DSLibris to load my ebook, which has a few hundreds of pages. It'd be good if it does not take me 10 minutes for just loading.
