Ebook reader for Japanese ebooks

In my search to buy Japanese ebooks from outside of Japan and read them i was succesful to order an ebook and download it into my computer from www.ebookjapan.jp (see my earlier thread). Thanks for everybody that pointed me in the right direction.

I use the EBI.reader for the Windows OS to actually read the ebook on the computer. One of the reason i tried this ebookjapan site was that they also makes the books available for the android OS. For this you need the ebireader for android.

So far i was unable to download this reader (.apk)
Can somebody point me in the direction where you can download this reader.
Note the Android Market does not have this reader and most of the google results point me to www.androidzoom.com but this download does not work.

There seems to be a new version out now at androidzoom. It's a whopping 15MB, so I did not even try to install it. That's too clunky.

Thanks Seabound for the response.
But.. Somehow i can not find to download the file.
The Androidzoom site starts a search at the Android Market and reports that the program/file can not be found. If i search the Android site i also can not find the program.
Somewhere i read that you can only use the ebireader program if you select the Japanese language (input/display). Now i wonder if the Android Market site is sensitive to the language setting?

Hi,
I am still unsuccesfull to get the ebireader.apk
I tried al kinds of settings in my folio like changing the device language and the menu language. I even used the e-market enabler to fake a Japanese telephone operator. But no result.
I also googled the internet to see if the APK was somewhere available outside of the market. But again no result.
My question now is; Is somebody willing to email me the APK? My email address is butch folio at gmail com . Or make the file somewhere available on the internet (dropbox or so) so i can download the file.
Note the file is 12+MB
Thanks in advance
Butch

follow up

Somebody was so kind to make the apk file available for me. The installation went without problems.
But when i started the program i got an error that i head the wrong keyboard. So i installed a Japanese keyboard (simeji). But to no avail.
Again i tried all kind of settings in the folio 100 but nothing worked.
I guess they (www.ebookjapan.jp) just do not want the business of the not resident Japanese reading cusomers.
