Do you think you could add touch so I can use the touchpad? Also is there a way to keep the Zune from turning itself off after awhile in the middle of a book without having to open the options menu or something to keep it from turning it off?
Hey hey, just wondering if there is a way to format a plain txt file with individual words italicized and have it read by the book reader?
ty.
If it was to be programmed into the Book Reader, it would possible. It currently is not. I might do it in the far future.

As you can see in the bottom of my posts, I have a 1st generation Zune, which means I do not have a touch pad, so no. Also, the Zune turns itself off automatically, so no, there is no way to do so.

Is there anyway to copy a book onto your computer, cause I have looked over most of the sites listed and they never came up with a file for the book I wanted to put on. If not then, I am sorry I wasted your time...

It is possible to scan all of the pages of your book then use a program to extract the text from the images. That is a bit tedious, though.

I'm using the Book Reader compatible with 3.x... and, I get the following error:
Error 1 Cannot autodetect which importer to use for "Books\WADLines.txt". There are no importers which handle this file type. Specify the importer that handles this file type in your project. C:\Downloads\BookReader\Content\Books\WADLines.txt BookReader
I have allready read the series twice but I think it would be interesting to have it on my zune so I don't have to carry five hard backs with me. Maybe over the summer I might be bored enough to copy every page from the five books....

Unh?

That did it. I guess I completely spaced there. Works, awesome, thanks!
I only just got this working, but already this is easily my favorate zune app/game addition. Nice choice of background. The auto-scroll feature is really cool. Wow. Great job!
Hey hey, regarding increasing the size of txt files, you said:

I tried what you suggested, I actually changed the number to 2000000, and that didn't work, I did a little searching and found the line:
if (finfo.Length > 500000)
State = GameState.filetoolarge;
and I changed that as well to 2000000 and still getting a too large error when I try to load a txt file that is about 2mb in size.
Any idea?
TY

5000000 makes bookreader crash at startup. it worked at 3000000 and I tried the file but this time got a 'bad char' error I'll clean up the file and try it again.
Looks like the limit is somewhere between 3m and 4m.
I know some people may tell me to read the rest of the thread to see if anyone else had this problem but it is 26 pages long and it is just easier to do this
When i try to deploy the file with c# there are any document paths for the file on the right side so i dont know how to add the books on this so what do i do?
