Will be marked as "featured" only after several users report, that it works fine. Fixed all known bugs, added features:

EPUB style switching
Browsing SD cards with mount/umount
win1251 & latin encodings supported in TXT/RTF files
/database/system/PRSPlus/prsp.sh is "dot called" from the startup script BUT ONLY IF there is no active usb connection.
Installs and works fine for me. Thanks!

Is it possible, Kartu, to disable SD card scanning, browse the SD card contents via mount, but still view the files with their metadata Title and Author information and view/read them directly from the SD card?

Doing so would actually allow someone (e.g.: me) to fill a 16 GB card with books properly categorized into nested folders and not have to fear either scanning time-outs or impractically long book index listings.

Copying to memory prior to reading just does not appeal to me, because it feels like an unnecessary extra step (as I do not experience performance issues when reading directly from the SD card).

EDIT: I guess the SD card's contents would have to be scanned on a directory by directory basis, with no recursion. Maybe with the addition of some checksumming and caching of metadata, to eliminate unnecessary rescans... I guess maybe this is not so simple after all.

Any chance you could give me some pointers toward getting PRS+ to work like that, assuming it is not too complicated to implement?

Thanks again! You are recreating the Sony PRS-505 into the image it should have had from the get-go.

Ps.: Also, any chance you can add provisions for a custom logo, as in PRSCustomizer? I have gotten so used to it, that I now find the default "Reader" text in the upper left corner a bit of an eyesore.
