jjReader 0.6.6

jjReader is the simple text e-book reader that is working on the Google Android mobile operating system. Currently it only supports text file format. If you have different e-books in different format, you need to convert it first into text file format.

If your text file is ready, then you need to copy the file into your G1 phone. Internal memory or SD card doesn't matter. You can browser directory if select open menu.

It support multiple language. Since not all text files are in Unicode, text in other than English can be broken. But you don't need to worry about it with jjReader. It supports more than 20 languages including Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

I created this software for myself at first time. I really like to read something. After I bought HTC G1 Android phone, there was no text reader that support multi bytes language encoding and big file handling. I will upgrade the reader until it can satisfy myself.

Recently I released version 0.6.6.

Unfortunately I forgot pass phrase for binary signature. So uninstall the installed previous version first to avoid installation error. I am sorry about that.

New feature on 0.6.6

- Font type face change
- Hide status bar
- Landscape mode
- Line spacing

Main features
- Multiple language support (More that 20 languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean)
- Volume key, Trackball, Screen tab scroll
- Fore ground and back ground color change

Things to do
- Set as default text browser
- Smooth screen scroll
- Multiple file format: PDF would be the first applicant

If you have any suggestion, please let me know.
