I know that there isn't an ereader that works with epub files. What I'm wondering is there one in the works anywhere. One that might have a GUI like the iphone. Mobipocket and ereader, and the ones put out by the bigger corporation that bought them off the market, all suck on interface. My son has the itouch and I have found that stanza is a wonderful program that is all that I want from a reader.
I unfortunately lack the skills to program what I want, so I was hoping that one of the crackberry nation might be making one. Anyone out there going to speak up or do I have to keep wishing?


Thanks in advance for any word.

hi,
you can download epub reader directly from Blackberry Appworld, it is called: Buku Reader

you can find more detail about this application at: Blackberry Appworld



here is some screenshot of the application:

Doesn't look bad for $1.99. I'll personally just keep using Aldiko free version on my CM7 Nook tho
@OP, if you want free, mobipocket works well (despite being quite old) and you can convert your ebooks to .mobi for free with a PC program called Calibre.

you're right, aldiko is slightly better than Buku Reader
unfortunately aldiko isn't available for Blackberry (yet)

if you have aldiko in you CM7 or other Andr*id device, so don't hesitate to purchase Buku Reader for your Blackberry devices

Overdrive App works with ePub (non-DRM as well)

It worked okay on my Torch, haven't used it since, just have my nook color and ipod touch for reading

OverDrive’s BlackBerry app now supports EPUB eBooks

hi, thanks for your informationa.
can kobo read epub file(s) from sdcard ?

[justineporter]

If you can download epub files and eread them I can't see why they can't read them from an sd card. I keep most my books on my sd card

but I can't load my own ebook from sdcard, except I purchased it from Kobo

if you encounter "Module 'net_rim_bb_qm_platform" not found" error,
than you must upgrade your Blackberry Messenger to latest version (version 6)
