My CrossPoint Reader -

This is my personal CrossPoint fork.

I use this firmware as an experimental branch where I can quickly test new ideas and features without being limited by the official project scope.

• Official CrossPoint repository: crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader
• Dictionary feature source: kurtisgrant/crosspoint-reader

What I Focus On In This Fork

• Experimental feature work
• EPUB reading quality and rendering improvements
• Dictionary lookup and reading-assistance tools
• UI/UX changes based on practical usage

Dictionary Setup

Dictionary lookup uses StarDict-style files from SD root. The first lookup may be slower while index/cache data is initialized. Later lookups are much faster.

Included in this repo:

• eng-dictionary/dictionary.dict
• eng-dictionary/dictionary.idx
• eng-dictionary/dictionary.ifo

Copy these to SD root:

• dictionary.dict
• dictionary.idx

Example SD layout:

/
├── dictionary.dict
├── dictionary.idx
└── books...

Build

git clone --recursive https://github.com/amaanshaik-codes/crosspoint-reader.git
cd crosspoint-reader
pio run -e default

Flash

pio run --target upload

Note

This fork is intentionally experimental and may diverge significantly from the main crosspoint reader.
