Done (see PM). By the way make sure ebooks you post are really free though, not freely distributed copies of paid ones. :P
Thanks a lot :D :D :D
I'm pretty sure Taming of the Shrew is pretty free. It is Shakespeare after all, and we all know how popular his books and plays are :P

As a general rule: Anything published before 1924 is almost certainly public domain, anything after probably isn't.

Updated to support 32 bit systems. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but I am not continuing to update this. I'm in college now, and I had to return my high school's Nspire. Hopefully the open-source nature of this program will encourage some of you to play around with the project and pick up some computer programming. It's an awesome skill to have.

Sorry to hear D:, glad to see one last update and that it's open-source, though. Good luck with college!

Yeah I am glad to see this. I upgraded my Nspire's OS (if you want to call it an upgrade) and all I can use is software that does not require Ndless. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this.

I decided to try this out since I love the idea of an eBook reader. I had a text file and dropped it onto ebook.exe and it spit a file two out (TITLE_OF_eBOOK.lua and TITLE_OF_eBOOK.tns). I transfered that .tns file but I was unable to open it.

Ugghhh!!

So I came back to this thread and read what the author said about text files that contain Unicode characters. I did a google search but did not find a quick way of removing the Unicode characters so I was stuck. I kind of gave up on it. Then I decided to open my original text file up using Notepad++

I discovered a great thing about Notepad++. It has the ability to convert text files to ANSI.

To do that just open your original text file up, prior to converting it using the ebook software, in Notepad++. Then choose:

"Encoding, Convert to ANSI".

Save that converted text file and convert it using the ebook software and BOOM!!! You have a file that you can use on the Nspire.
