Can't wait to put my hands on it ADS> :) I should warn you that high-quality book reader for formats more complex thansimple pictures (those include .djvu and .pdf) is a really hard task: you'll have to deal with typographics, breaking lines, hyphenations, optimal paragraphs formatting, bidirectional text etc. You should at least have a look at both FBReader and CoolReader's renderers which have accumulated the experience of formatting freely-reflowable files (.epub, .fb2, subset of .html, .txt, .rtf etc etc) in various languages. Browser engines might be also a good learning excersise, given lot of formats being just a subset of XHTML in containers nowadays. Especially this applies to .epub, as it is not only subset of XHTML, but also a subset of CSS. <OpenInkpot founder hat off> -- http://fossarchy.blogspot.com/
