Drider is a epub reader for the Nintendo 3ds. In order to run it you will need a way to run homebrew applications on your 3ds. It is written in Lua using Rinnegatamante's [Lua Player Plus 3ds]. Drider has a few limitations:
* CIA - Install the .cia with the CIA manager of your choice.
* It does not support css or any kind of inline styling, such as &lt;b&gt; or &lt;i&gt; tags.
* 3DSX - Use the .3dsx provided with the Homebrew Launcher.
* It doesn't handle non-ascii text well. If you're reading a utf-8 encoded book then it tries to translate some of the most common symbols to ascii equivalents, but the conversion is incomplete so mojibake is common.
 
* Text rendering on the 3ds is not very good so you will see plenty of bad kerning.
Put your ebooks in a folder called books at the root of your SD card.
* Drider can crash with books that contain large images. If the images are not important then consider disabling them (x button at the book select screen). Despite these issues, Drider can actually be used to read things! It works best on text-heavy, low-formatting books such as novels. Put your ebooks in a folder called <code>books</code> at the root of your sd card.

The <code>Makefile</code> provided is for a unix-like system. You will need to have the [3dstool], [bannertool], and [makerom] utilities available on your <code>$PATH</code> and then you can just type <code>make</code>. This will produce a <code>drider.cia</code> and a <code>3ds</code> folder in the <code>build</code> directory. Homebrew Launcher users should install the <code>3ds</code> directory to the root of their sd card. Cia users can install the cia file.
