Hello,

I am trying to implement an epub reader in my app. I found this on github: https://github.com/futurepress/epub.js

This solution works great in the browser on the desktop and mobile. However, when I try to use it as an app in iOS, it seems to work really slow. It takes 5-10 seconds to "turn the page."

Do you know what could be causing it?

Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,

Unfortunately 3rd party plugins are outside the scope of standard Appery.io platform support. You may consider purchasing Advisory Pack to get more in-depth help on this question. Here is more information about it: http://appery.io/services/#Advisory_Pack.
Also, you can check this link: https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/...

Maybe you can help me with my problem another way then. I have some text (39,000 words) that I would like to have accessible via an app. The app would preferably have a way to remember around where you are in the text as well. It is separated by chapters.

Originally, I thought epub would be the way to go and just find an epub js library however, I don't know if you can think of a better way since an epub is just a zipped document containing HTML anyways.

Thanks!

Eric

Hello Eric,

Sure, you are able to use epub.js in your app: https://github.com/futurepress/epub.js/

You have to add all necessary JS/CSS as custom JS/CSS files (Create new-JavaScript, CSS) and full HTML layout to the HTML component

Thank you for the suggestion however, epub.js works great in the browser but not so great when used in my iOS native app. I have been unable to figure out why so I am looking for another way. Thanks!
