Ebook Reader

X-Reader is a HTML5 Web Component, recreating the layout and controls of e-book readers.

<acidjs-xreader 
    booktitle="A Clockwork Orange" 
    author="Anthony Burgess" 
    source="books/a-clockwork-orange.html">
</acidjs-xreader>
<acidjs-xreader 
    booktitle="Nineteen Eighty-Four" 
    author="George Orwell" 
    controls 
    width="800" 
    height="600" 
    source="books/nineteen-eighty-four.html">
</acidjs-xreader>
<acidjs-xreader 
    width="320" 
    height="240" 
    defaultpage="1" 
    source="books/lorem.html">
</acidjs-xreader>
