Tiny EPUB

A minimal and display/font-agnostic EPUB library targeting embedded MCUs. Everything with a screen and a C++ compiler can be an eBook!

This library has two main components:

epubfile

Responsible for unzipping the EPUB in-place (no need to unzip the full thing) and navigating through the EPUB contents.

renderer

Text layout engine for the book. This puts the words in the right spots on a page. In addition to EPUB files, this also supports plaintext.

Goals

• Embedded friendly - very small binary, minimal CPU
• Font-agnostic - bring your own text drawing code. See RendererDisplay.hpp for the required interface.
• Display-agnostic - relatively unopinionated about the underlying screen technology.

Limitations

• No CSS support
• Only tested against EPUB 3 formatted EPUBs
• Image support is limited to grayscale BMPs (for now!)
