aReader Launch


I have just launched my first paid application for the android OS. It is an eBook reader titled 'aReader'. It is capable of reading books stored in the PDB, or Palm Database, format only. I created it to help a friend who had a large collection of books in the PDB format but had no way to read them on his new G1 Phone. This was a very good learning experience as it required me to dig deep into the PDB format and understand the LRE compression algorithm.
