Typhon: eBook reader with Rikai dictionary lookup for Android

#10
I am happy you like it! Without your project, I would probably never made this. So thank you for having it published open source.
 I basically started by just hacking Jade reader to add Kanjidic. Then I wanted to be able to read ePub ebooks so I evaluated the possibility of integrating the lookup code into an open source ebook reader and I looked at PageTurner and FBReader. 
I did it with PageTurner because I like the fact the it does not require any native code and that it was also designed to be compatible with the Nook e-ink reader. Though, now, I am not sure I didn't break compatibility. 
Then I used it for a while without publishing it because it was not really production ready… No automatic download, hardcoded configuration, etc…
This coming version underwent a big refactoring effort so I think you will have a hard time recognizing your code but some of it is still there!
