So I'd potentially need a cascading list or tree structure of folder names.
Anyone fancy mocking-up a GUI design for that? Ideally one that uses only .NetCF2 components  |
I wish I could help with that. Out of curiosity--and I'm new to Windows Mobile (1 month ago I was a little shy of being a decade long Palm user)--does the Windows Mobile enviornment allow you to import File Explorer functionality the way virtually every windows desktop application uses Windows Explorer for file open/save etc? So you click "open library" and you get the familiar file explorer interface, hopefully, without you having to build too much.

Pffffft. Thanks for building it AND taking input... for free no less. On that note, I can't seem to find a donate link for you here or on your freda site. If you took donations via paypal, I'd use it. FYI. I'm not exactly rolling in dough, but I could buy you a couple of beers. I don't know if your post beta plans involve anything commercial or not, but plenty of freeware authors have donate links even if you're going that route.
I'm getting to like freda so much I'm starting to consider, uh, "exporting" my entire library to epub. I liked eReader's Palm app a lot more than I like their winmo app. Other than the built-in online library browser/store, it's largely downhill from the simplicity the Palm version had. In addition to having a lower percentage of screen real estate available to text, and not having a full screen mode to make up for that, it's a freaking labyrinth of menus. And the built-in library browser/store is practically a separate application in terms of the ease of going back and forth between that and the reader, so "built-in" is actually a generous way of describing it.
