AFAIK it doesn't read djvu. I think Patriot's Evince build is your best bet.

supported/unsupported formats:
http://www.fbreader.org/docs/formats.php

about page:
http://www.fbreader.org/about.php

many of those unsupported formats can be converted to plain text using some basic tools in busybox - i don't recall if djvu is one of them, but the beagle project had a perl file filter for djvu that may be useful
http://beagle-project.org/ExternalFiltersRepository
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Encode 'decode';

#do we need to use unzip?
$filenamePar = $ARGV[0];
my $filename;
if ($filenamePar =~ m/.zip$/) {
        $filename = "unzip -p $filenamePar |";
}
else {
        $filename = $filenamePar;
}

#get file encoding
open(F, $filename) or die "Coudn't open file $filename: $!";
@lines = <F>;
close(F);

$text = join(" ", @lines);
$text =~ /<\?xml.*?encoding="(.*?)".*?\?>/;
$enc = $1;
if ("x$enc" eq "x") {
        $enc = "utf8";#defaults to utf-8
}

$lines=();
$text="";

#parse source
open (F, $filename) or die "Coudn't open file $filename: $!";
@lines = <F>;
close(F);
$text = join(" ", @lines);
$text = decode("$enc", $text);
$text =~ s/<binary.*?>.*?<\/binary>//g; #remove binary data
$text =~ s/<.*?>/ /g; #remove all xml tags
print $text;


would anyone be interested in a lightweight text only ripper/viewer for many formats? seems as if there is plenty of code available to implement

for XML based formats (there are a lot), sed can do most of the work

technosaurus (et al),

Is there an easy way for a Puppian such as myself to convert (legally purchased) DRMed e-books into plain text for viewing on our non-MS kit? Is that what your script (immediately above) is intended to do? If so, how does the end-user actually use the script? Drag'n'drop? A special Command Line command?

The short answer to your question about a "lightweight text only ripper/viewer for many formats" is "YES, I am interested!".

Subject description: Does FBreader pet install to one of the standard puppy menu categories?		  
New user here. Running XO-Pup in SD card alternate OS for the OLPC XO-1.

Found from this thread the latest FBREADER pet package. The install appears to have worked. But I saw a "category error" message. Now I can't see any menu that includes the app, nor is there a new icon on desktop.

Can the install be re-tried with a category target specified.

You might try opening a terminal (RXVT, or whatever you're using), typing 'fixmenus' (without the quotes) and then restarting the X server once or twice.

Or, try rebooting once or twice. Sometimes, it may take a bit for menu items to appear, for some reason.

@pouncer,

go to /usr/share/applications directory & see if clicking the FBReader .desktop file starts it up.

If it does, open it in a text editor & alter the Categories= line so that it is the same as any other app that does appear in Menu>Documents.

If it doesn't start, try running FBReader in a console to see what errors are generated.

Edit: I wrote fbreader when it should be FBReader

Many thanks, muggins.
I am using it with Puppy 214X on an oldish computer.

Can someone tell me whether the version at
http://www.fbreader.org/content/linux
is any newer(better)?

I've never installed any software other than pet packages.
Is there a guide to doing that, or somehow (like you guys seem to do) making pets from the debian or whatever?

Thanks again,

Sheldon

Edit: here it is with all of the localizations left intact this time - feel free to split them out (mainly big5 and gbk) to shave about half a Mb

Thanks a lot, technosaurus.

I was afraid to put it on this old computer with Puppy 2.14X, so I put it on the Dell D610 with Puppy lupu 528.

It works there; haven't yet explored any of the new features.

Can you please explain the splitting out of localizations?


Thanks again,

Sheldon

@ technosaurus

Thanks for the application Smile

I have stripped out the non-English locales and changed the desktop entry so that it works for Lucid 528-005.

Thanks, but you missed some stuff (mostly in zipfiles in the zlibrary directory)

Hi, could you please tell me the difference between these?

613523 2012-09-30 10:30 /mnt/sda2/sources/fbreader-0.99.0-i486.pet

581623 2012-06-10 18:56 /mnt/sda2/sources/fbreader-0.12.10-i486.pet

I have what seems to be the fbreader-0.12.10-i486 currently installed

What happens if I click on the fbreader-0.99.0-i486.pet

Does it upgrade or what?

In what way is it better?


Thanks,

Sheldon

99.0 - 12.1 = 86.9
