Dear members,
I am working on creation of eBook reader for iPod classic using LUA. Can someone please help me testing it. As of now it is a WIP and only contains few pages.
To test,
Download attached txt file
rename it to .LUA
copy it to any iPod directory (Connecting iPod to PC as a USB device)
Browse & open that file on your iPod
Press Select/Left key to exit
Remembers last read page
Use Up/Down keys to change pages
Future plans

Awesome!
You mean the text reader? No doubt it's great. Just that I was looking for easy way to change themes, enable autosave, change fonts, jump chapters etc.

Here's a newer version where you can jump through the chapters
To test,
Download attached txt file
rename it to .LUA
copy it to any iPod directory (Connecting iPod to PC as a USB device)
Browse & open that file on your iPod
Using Left/Righ keys highligh the menu at the top left corner
'X' to close the application or TOC icon to open list of chapters and then press select
On TOC (List of chapters page) highlight the chapter using up/down keys and then press select to jump to it (Make sure 'X' is not highlighted at the top)
Once on pages use Up/Down keys to change pages

Hi, this sounds interesting. Does it work on the Ipod video model? Thanks!
