This application allows you to read large Text (.txt,.text), Palm Doc (.pdb), Mobipocket (.pdb,.prc,.mobi), Plucker (.pdb), HTML (.htm,.html), and Fiction Book (.fb2) files quickly and efficiently on the iPhone/Touch. This application doesn’t have the fancy formatting of ruBooks or Books.app, but it can quickly load and display large text files that currently cause Books.app or other UI Text View/Web View based apps problems. If you want to load books quickly and read text, this may be the app for you.
Changes:
* Add option to wrap searches
* Add option to have search match words (i.e. ‘he’ will not match ‘the’). Words are assumed to be delimited by blanks, CR/LF, or punctuation characters.
* Add option to reverse the file scroll direction (i.e. swipe left to right for next, or right to left for next)
* Percentage is updated when scrolling while the “title/info/navigation bar” is displayed Cached ZIP and CHM files are displayed where they should be instead of being grouped with directories Ideographic blanks are used when indenting paragraphs.
* File Scroll can be used even if Smooth scroll is not selected
Note: Books.app http://code.google.com/p/iphoneebooks/ and ruBooks http://colel.info/rubooks/ provide a formatted display of text and images. If you are willing to break up your book into smaller chapters they may also be options.

Changes:
Adds support for CHM and ZIP files. Since both of these files are “containers” for other files, they will be “exploded” into a cache directory, and you can then navigate the directory and open, delete, etc. any file you want. Because they are tag’d as a cache directory, you can delete the cache with or without the original file. When a cache directory exists, you’ll only see it – you won’t see the original ZIP or CHM file. This is VERY preliminary code, so let me know how it works. I have a bad feeling about NLS/International character support for file names – both for the ZIP/CHM file and for their contents, but try it and let me know how it looks.
Adds an option “File Scroll” to allow a left-to-right swipe in the middle of the screen to open the previous file, and a right-to-left swipe to open the next file in the directory. This isn’t particularly pretty, but I can’t get a nice animation to work while I’m processing the file. Feel free to check out the code if you know anything about iPhone programming … Anyway, right now it will go the the last saved location for the file, and will show cover art if it exists. I’ll leave it up to the users (all 3 of you) to decide if this is how it ought to work.
There were some comments that the “delete” button was too sensitive (i.e. it would appear when scrolling). I have tried to tighten up the location of the swipe so that you should be able to scroll without problem if you keep your finger on the left 2/3 of the screen. Again, let me know if this is reasonable, or if I need to look into doing something else.
