eBook reader app

I’m trying to write an app that has the basic functionality of an ebook reader. I want it to take text from a file and divide it into scenes (as specified in the storyboard API) given a user-specified font size. It also needs to supposed bold and italics alongside the regular fonts. The file I/O is straightforward, but does anyone have any suggestions or tutorials on how to do this type of text parsing?

I have the same issue, did you ever find out a suitable way to do this? [import]uid: 84115 topic_id: 21670 reply_id: 96306[/import]

I don’t think that ePub support is something that can be done in Corona right now. While ePub files are just basically HTML, which could be displayed in Corona, ePub files are actually ZIP archives.

And Corona currently doesn’t have a way to unZIP archives. [import]uid: 17827 topic_id: 21670 reply_id: 97624[/import]
