I would like to develop a personal comic book archive reader for android
and would like to know if there are already existing libraries that I can use?

I really don't think that are difficult to the work your self.
Just unpack the archive and show the images.

can anybody recommend me a ebook converter / maker
got me a book as txt and i really would pref reading it as
ebook lit or at least pdf
i know i can just search google but there are soo many of them some are shareware some are comerical some are free.....
it's a jungle out there!
PErsonally I use mobipocket, for a couple of reasons..
It supports OEB (Non- protected books, so in 10 years time you will still be able to read them)
The reader is free (on the website it is advertised as a trial - this is for the pro version, install it anyway under the trial, aftrer the trial ends you can still use the software but some of the more complex functions are disabled -like autoscroll)
The reader will operate on palm or PPC - meaning I can share my books with my friends who have palm, rather than having to reformat them.
They also supply a publisher program for creating the books, this is free for home use.
It's not microsoft
go to www.mobipocket.com

The reader I use is muBook from http://gowerpoint.com/.
It can handle .PDB, .PRC, .TXT, .RTF and .HTML as e-books, and display inline .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, .WMF (in RTF) or .BMP.
If you're starting from a TXT file, you don't gain much by converting it to an e-book format, unless you add niceties like an index.
Which book is it? If it's out of copyright, you may be able to get it from manybooks in an e-book format (with index etc.).
well as to which book it is then no it's not a copyrighted book and it's not a book you'd find anywhere on the internet, somebody i know wrote it and all
i wanted to make it ebookish
because then when reading it i would be able to put bookmarks in and get a bit better more cleartypish font then the std notepad
as a rule just make it's easier and more easy to read it

Hi,
I use mobipocket too and I guess, it is a great program. You can convert your .txt - file with mobipocket publisher 3.0.
You don´t need the profressional version and you have the possibiblity to take indexes and a lot of more features of formatted textes and add your bookmarks and other features.
have fun!
well i of cause have that ms ebook reader and i have acrobat reader if at all possible i would pref not installing any more ebook readers on my xda2
will it be required ?

I guess, you will be able to convert your text into pdf- or -lit - format. But the readers have less features, the files are much bigger - but it is possible...
First I had the microsoft reader and the pdf-reader too. Now I have only the mobipocket-reader...

Microsoft have a plugin for MS word that will convert a document into eBook .lit format.

Or if you want a more professional program ReaderWorks Standard by Overdrive is also available.

uBook will give you the choice of any font you like, with 3 different modes of anti-aliasing/alpha blending, multiple styles/backgrounds, font sizes/colors, columns, bookmarks, annotations, and it will even figure out headings etc. (for example convert CHAPTER 1 to a chapter heading). No conversion necessary. It just works.
Why lock yourself into some company's proprietary e-book format, when there's great, free, open source software that will read all sorts of formats, and offers a lot of options? If you're using an e-book reader that doesn't read .TXT files and can display them nicely, then you're cheating yourself.
You can also try PDF Printer . It supports Vista.
OK, I have absolutely no programming experience beyond creating some batch files in DOS, way back in the day, and some even earlier experience trying to learn BASIC (on an ADAM computer, no less....).
I've dl'd eVC4 with sp4, opened it up, and begun reading the help files....
Unfortunately, this is about as foreign to me as trying to read a Mandarin Chinese primer written in Russian....
My initial goal is to gain an understanding of .CAB files, and write a few of my own.
Any suggestions on how to find a good starting point? I have a brain, but I also need a good reference point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
If you just want to create cab files I'd recommend you use WinCE Cab Manager instead. It's much more easy to use, and provides way better understanding on how cab files work than eVC4
If you really just want to pack a few things then as nomad suggested you should get the Cab Manager.
Though there is not much to learn about cabs as they are made by cabwiz.exe (a file which comes with the Pocket PC SDK you also need for eVC).
It reads a inf file that lists files to include in installation, shortcuts, and registry setting. All of it is documented here.
If you want to get in to writing apps, you should first get a good book on C/C++ or on another programing language should you choose it.
Currently WM development supports C/C++, VB .NET, C# and JAVA (in somewhat awkward way)
Once you learn basics of the programing language you can move on to Win32 programing which is the base for both desktop and pocket PC OS.
It's a bit of a long way, but there isn't much choice if you want to really understand what you are doing / can do.
I started with an excellent book called "complete guide to C" (it was a translated version so name may vary, black cover big C on it) then moved on to a 1000+ page Visual C++ and MFC book from MS.
Is this link the latest eVC version available?
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3D-50D1-41B2-A107-FA75AE960856&displaylang=en
It looks like you install eVC then the latest SP for it which appears to be SP4
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...F4-91D3-4DBE-986E-A812984318E5&displaylang=en
If you have Visual Studio 2005 and the WM5 sdk is there any reason to install eVC or is it included or obsoleted?
Not that I'm one to speak, I'm very much a learner, but I posted way back about some of my pains in learning to program in c++.

I've been searching for software to be able to scribble little notes and stuff on pdf files. I'm looking for this because Im going to University and all of the notes are in pdf format, thus this way I don't need anything except my hermes. I found a software for this called PdfPen but it is only for MacOS. The link is below:

I had developed a software. The software are using the external dll library, how can I compile the exe embedded *.dlls??
PS: I am using a VS 2005, Language: VB.net
Also I would like to know how to protect my application code avoid the decompiler to decompile ???
sorry for my poor english.
Welcome to the forum.
Your English is fine, but unfortunately there is no simple answer to your questions.
I will start with the last one first:
There is no one simple way to protect your code. There are whole books and articles written on it and if you google you will even find commercial products that "scramble" compiled apps to make it difficult to disassemble and reverse engineer.
Unfortunately I can not give you more specific info like book titles since I am not too interested on the subject.
I can tell you this: whether you app gets hacked or not is a matter of how much it costs vs. how useful / desirable it is. That means that if your program is really grate and everyone wants it but it costs a lot someone will put in the effort and eventually crack it no matter what you do.
As for your first question: unless you have source code or the obj files for the DLL to link to there is no way to combine it with your exe. If something was released as a DLL library and only as a DLL library it will remain just that.
Like mentioned above; the only possibility to 'protect' your .NET application is to obfuscate the code. there are some good (but commercial) tools out there. Google for it and if you're lucky you can find a comparison as well. (hopefully somebody tested some tools already to compare them)
You cannot recompile a DLL unless you've the source code as well.
it's easier to do if one dont use .net
Is there any aplication to read mpb files from pc? If they are text files, shouldn't they work with notepad for example?
Thanks
Well, if you mean mobipocket book format, then you can use desktop version of mobipocket reader (freeware, google it) for that. Ant they're not really text files, but compressed xml files (besides text they can contain hyperlinks, images, annotations, etc).
And there is a tread right on top of this forum section to be used for questions. Please do not post treads in this section unless you are CONTRIBUTING. Especially considering the fact that your question doesn't even concern pocketPC's - so what does it have to do with development and hacking?
the mpb files are messages and they are in \windows\messaging. that aplication doesn't open it
