Hi there,
I just wanted to inform you about a new addon for Firefox with which you can read ePub-files. It is called "EPUBReader". I finished the addon last week and uploaded it here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/45281.
Before I started the development, I checked if something similar exists. Of course I found OpenBerg, but OpenBerg seems not to support Firefox 3.*. I checked the source code of OpenBerg and decided to write the addon from scratch, because it's not so easy to understand the code somebody else has written.
I would be very happy, if you would try it and give me your feedback.
UPDATE:
I've just uploaded the new version 1.1.0.
Here is what I changed:
- Now it's possible to navigate through the ePub-file using navigation buttons at the bottom. This is the most important and most requested change . The navigation is available for all epub's loaded with version 1.1.0. So please reload epub's which you loaded with previous versions.
- In the navigationbar is now a link to every page in the ePub-file displayed. In previous versions sometimes missed a link.
- The navigationbar can now be toggled at the bottom, using the "+/-" link.
- The author of the ePub-file is now displayed if he is specified in the ePub-file. In previous versions he was sometimes not displayed even though specified in the file.
