^23:1 A new e-book generator named EBook

^23:2

I've just received an news that at http://ebookme.sourceforge.net/ you can download and use a new e-book generator named EBookME. EBookME is application for creating and reading e-books on the mobile phones and other devices which supports JME (Java Micro Edition) with MIDP 1.0 profile. It consists of two parts:

• reader core (JME)
• standard Java (JSE) application which creates JME application packages. It puts together your texts and reader core.
• EBookME is platform independent - All You Need Is … Java runtime in version 1.4 or newer

EBookME supports many input file types (thanks to aperture project):

• plain texts
• HTML documents
• OpenDocument formats (e.g. OpenOffice.org files)
• PDFs (imported by PDFBox)
• MS Office documens (imported by Jakarta POI)
• MS Works files, WordPerfect files
• RTFs
• XML documents

EBookME reader works corretly also on devices which doesn’t provide filesystem to application and a reader can’t be standalone application separated from data files. It uses adventages of Java and stores application and data in one archive file.

EBookME is localized for following languages:

• English
• German
• Spanish
• French
• Czech
• Chinese (simplified)
• Tamil (experimental implementation)

License EBookME is licensed under GNU LGPL.

History EBookME was initially developed in 2003 by Tomas Darmovzal. After 2 years Josef Cacek take over this project and started to add new features and fix bugs. He registered it as sourceforge project and till now is admin of this project.
