Is there anything in the ports tree for reading books on the computer? something like Tom Reader or Ice book reader for windows?
I don't know what those are, since I don't use Windows. For ebooks, there are a variety of choices. These choices depend on the format of the ebook. Note that PDB files are proprietary and who know how they're specified...Which means for PDB files, I can't offer any solution. All this stuff is in ports: Type of file Solution ----------------- ------------ PDF epdfviewer, kpdf, gv, xpdf, acrobat, gpdf PostScript (PS) gv, ggv (?) dvi probably xdvi chm xchm djvu djvulibre, JavaDjVu A note on djvu: although djvulibre is in /usr/ports/graphics, I could not get the viewer (djview) to work properly. Two solutions are: 1) grab the tarball and compile it yourself (in, say, /opt) - very simple to do, just read the INSTALL file; 2) Install the FreeBSD official JDK package and make your file manager use JavaDjVu associated with djvu files - remember to move the jar (IIRC) to the directory where you store your djvu files. Hope this helps.
