sounds like a really cool homebrew
sadly i cant read or write japanese i only know the spelling of some words thx to animes with subs

Awesome! I hope there won't be that much kanji lol.

Cool. Wonder if there are any Edogawa Ranpo's books there... Edogawa Ranpo is a legendary mystery writer, he created the Japanese "Sherlock Holmes", Akechi Kogorou and Shounen Tantei-dan (Meitantei Conan is full of Ranpo stuff). Too bad none of Akechi novels haven't been translated, or made into anime. There is a succesful drama though but it was aired in the 80s and it's impossible to find.

Is there a function to turn kanji into hiragana and katakana... that pic doesn't have any kanji which is quite rare in Japanese literature. Maybe I will check this thing out sometimes.

I was wondering the same. I will check it out.

EDIT: So the menu is like 70% kanji so I have no idea what to do. I can only find the books.
EDIT2: So it turns out the book トロシコ has some furigana.

If have furigana then must be really useful to learn japanese

Wow Kitsune! Haven't seen you around for ages!

But I only found furigana in one book.

Didn't know Alice in Wonderland was part of "Japanese literature".  

Not sure if the new ereader I bought would work with Japanese books (probably not unless rooted), but it sure is a great thing to have!

"thousands of works of Japanese-language fiction and non-fiction"

Japanese-language fiction and non-fiction. Not necessarily Japanese literature only. So Fushigi no Kuni no Alice is right where it should be.

Hello there,

is there anything special I need to do to be able to run this? I just get a black screen unfortunately. I'm using a M3 real cart with YSmenu, the regular M3real software doesn't seem to work either.

Thanks in advance.
