Yup, you read that right. I said READ eBooks in PSP. I mean, if you can listen to them in PSP (audio books), why not read them, yeah? hehe I heard about this homebrew feature back when I first had my PSP. I didn't think about it too much back then coz I was happy to be able to finally play God of War and Crisis Core and Star Ocean to care about eBooks in my PSP. Plus, I have my own eBook reader so I'm pretty much covered in that field.
One day, I finally found the time and energy to look for the plugin that will turn my PSP into a Multi-Media GEEK MACHINE.
DISCLAIMER:
This entry is merely a guide/tutorial on how to add features to your PSP. It is not, in any way, foolproof. I am not responsible to any possible damage your PSP may incur. With that said, on to the tutorial. ;-)
PSP Model: PSP -M1000
PSP Version: 4.01 M33-2
Game folder Homebrew (seen in recovery mode): Currently: 1.50 Kernel
BookR is a document reader for PSP with native PDF rendering. I have tested PDF files and .txt files and they worked perfectly for me. BookR is currently compatible with PSPs with Firmware versions 3.71 and below and/or 1.5 kernel (for PSP-1000) installed.
Download it HERE.

WARNING:
I had this plugin tested on a PSP-M1000 (Phat version) and am about to test it on a Slim PSP. will post an update once I get around to testing with it.
Here's a step by step process on how to successfully install this plugin:
1. Download the plugin called BookR version 0.7.1.
CAUTION: if your PDF file is full of pictures (i.e. FHM in PDF format), then BookR might not be able to read it.
2. Connect your PSP to your computer via the USB or the memory card via a card reader.
3. Open the BookR.rar file you just downloaded and put the __SCE__bookr and the __SCE__bookr% folder in the GAME folder of your PSP.
ms0: (root)
PSP:
GAME: <--drag the said folders here
4. Put the PDF and other .txt files you want to read anywhere in your PSP (I suggest you make a new folder and label it eBook for example to organize your memory card better.).
5. Disconnect your PSP/card reader from the pc and turn on your PSP.
6. Go to your Games menu, load BookR.
7. Press O to load a file then locate the folder you made and open any .txt file to see if it is working properly and familiarize yourself to the menu and settings.
8. To change the settings (i.e. font and background color via your txt file), just press the start button and choose .
and... voila! You can now read while on the go without having to lug around a lot of your books. =)
A word of caution, though, I suggest you select a file with no more than 20MB size otherwise BookR might not read it properly, if, at all.
Happy Reading! ^__~
