BookSwap autorun book-file manager

Let’s call this an alpha release, but I’ve written a dead-simple filemanager for the Reader. It uses the same DOM/ECMAscript autorun functionality discovered and applied by igorsk, obelix, et al.

It provides the following capabilities:
  1. Copy files between the Reader internal memory & SD card.
  2. Move files between the internal memory & SD card.
  3. Delete files from the internal memory & SD card.

With the following caveats:
  1. I couldn’t manage to find any filesystem listing/transversal functions, although I imagine they’re probably there somewhere. This version thus limits itself to simple operations on the files found and cached by the Reader UI.
  2. I haven’t figured out how to cause the Reader UI to re-scan the internal memory. This means the Reader won’t notice such changes until the next time you either reset it or just plug it in via USB. BookSwap re-scans memory on quit if any changes were made. This causes BookSwap to re-run, but quitting again will quit w/o the re-scan.
  3. I haven’t tested this with a memory stick. It might work.
  4. I have tested it with a both a PRS-500 and 505. On my 500 I can copy files off the SD card but copying to the card fails. However my 500 is damaged, so this may just be an artifact of the damage.

To install, just extract the attached archive into the root of an SD card.
