Homebrew Question Any good ebook and comic/manga readers for switch?

[Psoloratoras]

It was a good ride, but 12.0 happened along with atmosphere 0.19.1 and now nothing runs for some reason(except goldleaf and games). I was using ebookreaderswitch and cutemanga, and while they weren't by any means perfect, they were still decent enough to do the job. Unfortunately both hadn't been updated for quite some time, so I doubt the creators will bother. Anyone knows any good alternatives that work with latest firmware and latest atmosphere?

Also, just noticed checkpoint doesn't work either. Anyone knows a good alternative for that as well?

SciresM released a build https://github.com/SciresM/Checkpoint/releases/tag/ams-19-compat which is said to work, and the main checkpoint devs are working on it too.

Yup that seems to work. Thanks.

Hey, there! I don't use either of the apps you mentioned (besides Checkpoint) but I went ahead and tried to compile them with the latest libraries. ebookreaderswitch had slightly more compilation issues to deal with, so I skipped it for now, but attached is an updated version of CuteManga that may or may not work on the latest FWs! (My Switch is not fully updated yet.)

Enjoy, maybe!

EDIT:
Waded through 5 hours of (fully anticipated) hell spinning up a new Arch Linux vm but it resulted in being able to compile ebookreaderswitch as well! It is linked right here (due to being too big to upload to this post).

EDIT2:
There's a tweak to the compilation that I wanted to try but I have to go to bed now, so if someone could let me know if the above versions work or not, I'd appreciate it. If not, I'll upload the alternate tomorrow! Thanks!

havent tested it yet. But much appreciated, Chrscool8

Edit: just read some manga on it. The FlipGrip makes it perfect. Many thanks, dude!!

It has some things to fix like the scroll on the books menu but it works pretty well IMO
It has simple touch controls now and some tweaks in the control inputs.
