crwx-ng 0.3.1-1

Package Information

Descriptioncross-platform open source e-book reader using crengine-ng and wxWidgets

crwx-ng is an e-book reader with a wxWidgets user interface, built on the crengine-ng rendering library. It reads the same formats as the library (fb2, fb3, epub and mobi without DRM, doc, docx, odt, rtf, pdb, txt, html, Markdown, chm, tcr) and offers CSS styling, hyphenation dictionaries, text search and reading books directly from ZIP archives.

It is the wxWidgets frontend of the crengine-ng family, a fork of CoolReader maintained by the same upstream author. It is co-installable with src:coolreader, which ships a Qt frontend but no wxWidgets one: crwx-ng installs /usr/bin/crwx and uses /usr/share/crwx, while coolreader ships /usr/bin/coolreader and uses /usr/share/cr3.
