Hello!

I've just ported to dingux the GP32 and GP2X !Reader e-reader, supporting txt, rtf, html, chm and pdf (text).
It's a fast port but it seems to work, please report bugs :-)
Inside the zip you have a Readme with instructions.

Thanks to hardyx for the gp2x port ;-)

Good work. Just a couple questions / quirks though...

It seems like it won't open things unless it recognizes the suffix? So I assume text files have to end in .txt?

It would be great if it would open anything, or try to open anything, or at least let us define some suffixes. Sometimes I want to read a .ini file or a .cfg file, or maybe a file with no suffix, like things in /proc... in all cases it is plain ascii text but doesn't end in txt.

Thanks, & cheers!

p.s. for some reason the open... dialog won't let me get out of the /boot directory and up to / - is it set to not allow access to the root directory? I hit accept on <..> but it won't go further than /boot

@xzakox
Is the source available somewhere? I would like to make a port for the Ben NanoNote. Also, is this software GPL?
Since it's binary compatible with dingux, !Reader works on it already, but with weird key config (http://wstaw.org/m/2010/06/11/reader.png), and having an opensource code would be really nice too.

Yeah, I have the source, but it's not opensource, and I was told not to release it, so... :/
But as the NanoNote is binary compatible as you say, if you told me a nice keymap for it, I can make another binary for the Ben.

Enter - Accept
Backspace - Back
Up/Down - Scroll
Vol Up/Vol Down - Pg Up/Pg Down
Escape - Menu

Since the NanoNote has a pair of dedicated volume buttons next to the arrow keys, using those for Page Up/Down would make sense. I'm not sure which key-codes they return though, I'd have to get back to you on that.

Edit: Looks like the VolUp/VolDown buttons on the NN are bound to F11 and F12 by the way.

and it's read every file I've thrown it yet!

give it a pdf file with lots of vector graphics  

oh and thatnks for the bindings of vol +/- been thinking of changing nupdfs' keybindings for the nn

(oh and all the joystick code needs removing from it, or the nanonote sdl library hasn't had the no joystick fix, dingoo had it about a year ago)

No probs, I made this document this morning:
http://code.google.com/p/pirate-dev/downloads/detail?name=keyboard.c
That's a c-file containing defines for all the buttons on the NanoNote!

(oh and all the joystick code needs removing from it, or the nanonote sdl library hasn't had the no joystick fix, dingoo had it about a year ago)

I found out I had an ancient version of SDL, after reflashing !Reader works like a charm, albeit with weird keybindings.

Ok, I make a quick port to the nanonote changing controls and removing SDL's joystick.
Can you test it?

Just tested it, works fine, except for the fact that the menu didn't open when I pressed Escape. Are you sure you're using the correct keycode? Check the keyboard.c file I linked above to verify that you are.

Yeah, I had an error there,
Just try this one:

Escape works now, but pressing Enter just quits the menu, it seems like Enter is mapped to Back, and Backspace is mapped to Accept, can this be correct?

Edit: You'll also have to update the "Quick help" help to reflect the Ben NanoNote keybinds, and list my name in the readme for help with keybinds, key codes and testing XD

lol!
Ok, try this one then, I updated swapped keys (it's a feature of the program to swap A and B since gp2x and gp32 are different), updated the help and Readme ;-)

This works very good! Thanks alot!

Btw, you can remove the extension for the NanoNote binary, BNN binaries are usually without extension, though this doesn't matter much. In the readme, under Ben NanoNote where it says [[TODO]], you can just say to run it with "./reader", and you can put it in /usr/bin so you won't have to navigate to the folder where it's stored to run it each time.

I sent you a PM earlier btw, don't know if you noticed

It dosent seem to read any of my PDF's it just gives me

that's because they've got images in them, there just happens to be a much better pdf reader if you hadn't seen my signature yet 

scroll speed could be bumped up a little, but it has pageup/down, so it's not that much of an issue

nice work!
but this cant be display chinese language
There are language options menu, how to use the Chinese language?
if this can be support unicode,it will great..
