I'm looking for open source references for ebook reading applications in Android. Any reader that has understandable code will do. Thanks!

Is it really an open - source, because I found it's exe(for windows) and .apk but I was unable to find the source code of that apk... Reply please... – Deservedly
@Deservedly see Cool Reader project on Git – Perithecium
this link provides some documentation I guess. I'm a newbie, so can you please provide the exact url? I followed github.com/amahule/CoolReader but it gives exception as mentioned here #7212932 – Deservedly
@Deservedly you can browse code here: crengine.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=crengine/…, to download, see this question. – Perithecium
but crengine.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=crengine/… is same as github.com/amahule/CoolReader... I've imported the project folder(android) in eclipse. It don't throw any compile error but throws the run-time exception FATAL EXCEPTION: BackgroundThread405310e8 , java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Couldn't load cr3engine: findLibrary returned null – Deservedly
@Deservedly ok, there is some native android project you should build first to get a lib: github.com/amahule/CoolReader/tree/master/android/jni – Perithecium
jni folder already exists in my project folder. How can I individually build it? – Deservedly
Please help. I'm no idea how to resolve this? – Deservedly
@Deservedly you will need Android NDK, see also tutorial – Perithecium
you have also futurepress/epub.js : it reads epub and annotation through a web browner – Inchon
