I've been waiting for something like this for ages, before I'd convert the books to txt files and read them with moonshll2 on a DS flashcart, but my flashcart has taken to crashing and loosing it's connection with the sd card.

A bookmarking feature will make this a must have replacement.

Edi1: Does the app support subfolders under Root/Books ? As that'd be handy for organising your ebooks, or is this a potential feature for a later version?

Edit2: What is the largest filesize can this ebook reader tolerate so I know how to split them with the Caliber conversion.

Edit3: Seems my ebooks are still crashing the app even after using Caliber to convert them...

Sigil confirmed that they are epub2, however I managed to get Caliber to create a folder with opf and METADATA, so will zip those and try it that way!

Edit1: Ok in a .zip format the ebook reader can't even see them, and selecting the blank space causes a crash!

So really a rename ".zip" to ".epub" after zipping the Calibre conversion?

Edit2: ok so neither Calibre or Sigil saved them as an epub3, and a zipped version of the extras calibre created don't seem to count as an epub 3 either.

Edit3: Sigil needed an external plugin, testing that now.

Edit4: Yup here's the plugin for Sigil: https://github.com/kevinhendricks/ePub3-itizer
Works fine after using that!

So I put the bookmark and the epub file in the books folder. I tried to load it on the app but it wouldn't. The book is 224 pages long and I waited for like 90 minutes. Did I do something incorrectly or should I have waited longer?

Judging by that the last post before yours 2 years ago also had messed up I am guessing it is the app that dont work. Aswell as the OP hasnt been seen since 2018, i dont think this app is going to get updated or fixed.
