Plucker is an offline Web and free eBook reader for Palm OS based handheld devices, Windows Mobile (PocketPC) devices and other handheld PDAs.
Plucker contains POSIX tools, scripts and "conduits" which work on UNIX, Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.
Web pages can be processed, compressed, and transferred to the PDA for viewing by the Plucker viewer.
Plucker supports many advanced features, including:
- Clickable images (with pan and zoom)
- Italic and narrow support
- High-resolution fonts
- Multiple concurrent documents (more than one copy of the same material)
- Configurable display options (rotation, configurable toolbars)
- Advanced stylus options (gestures and hardware button navigation)
- ZLib and DOC compression (in native and ARM optimized versions)
- Python, C++ and Perl distillers and scripts
- A Microsoft Windows fully-integrated graphical installer
Through the use of intelligent "distillers" written in many common languages (currently Python, C++ and Perl with third-party versions written in Java), content can be created for Plucker from many sources, including RSS, RDF, text files, HTML, PDF, and many other file formats.
