Anyview is a free ebook reader for mobile phones. Anyview is written in Java, therefore should run on any phone that supports Java, and supports the JSR-75 standard. It is known to run successfully on more than 100 phone models from SonyEricsson, Motorola, and Nokia. Anyview has following features: It can read files of type TXT, HTML, PDB and UMD comic format as well as display GIF, JPEG and PNG files. Can handle UTF-8, GB2312 and Unicode - so can display Spanish and other language texts. Fully touch screen enabled (for those phones with touch screens) Very fast and responsive Can open files directly from your phone - no need to add text file into jar file (as you have to do with most other ebook readers) Has great page turning capability - you use 2/8 keys (or touch page) for page scroll and 4/6 keys (or use joystick) for line scroll. You can also turn on automatic scrolling. Has Search, Jump to and bookmark features - everything you would expect of an ebook reader. It supports reading directly from ZIP files - so your ebooks can take up less space on your phone.

History Anyview is not a commercial product, but was was developed in her spare time over the past 2 years. It has slowly improved from the initial simple TXT reader of Release 0.2 to the current 3.1 version which can handle many different file formats. Originally written to only work on E680/A780 phones, it now works on hundreds of models. Many friends have given me encouragement and advice with this development effort with the result that I believe that Anyview is now the best ebook reader available for Java enabled phones. Installing Anyview Anyview should be installed on your phone just like any other jar file. That is normally done by: Copy the fairy.jar file to the memory card in your phone Click on the fairy.jar file to install the application. The application MUST BE installed on your memory card not the phone - otherwise it will not work correctly. Before you can use it you must change the permissions of the app to allow it to read and write files from the phone's file system. This is done by editing the registry.txt file associated with Anyview. You do this as follows: [These instructions are for a Motorola A1200. The location of the registry.txt file may differ on your phone] After installing Anyview, plug the phone into the PC Using windows explorer navigate to .systemjavaDownloadAppsMIDletXXXX on your SD card where MIDletXXXX is the last directory in DownloadApps in alphabetic ascending order. Make a copy of the file registry.tx (in case you need to recover original file) Edit the file registry.txt with a editor compatible with unix (eg wordpad). Do not use MS Word or Notepad! (Be sure the file has a line saying: Jar-URL: Anyview.jar - if not, you are in the wrong directory) Change the values to these ones - DRM-Mode: Allowed - Is-Trusted: 1 - Domain: Manufacturer Save the file and disconnect from PC Go to the apps icon and hold the stylus until popup menu appears. Select Manage --> Change permission Click OK (no need to change anything - that just forces new permissions to take effect) The app should now be able to read and write files.
