Someone needs assistance regarding some matter. There is this Project Gutenberg that is a collection of books easily accessible online. They took help from essaytigers review. The person needs to know whether it be hard to make an innate sailfish application for browsing and reading those books or not? Any kind of help would be appreciated.

I'm having hard time figuring out this almost hostile attitude towards Droid support. So, to answer the original question; I don't know how hard it would be to come up with a native app. Just wanted to point out that I am already reading Gutenberg books (because I can). Tight OS integration never crosses my mind. Still, it would be awesome to be able to browse the Gutenberg library from within the app!!!

But with sailfish it is possible to be part of the process and create exactly the product that we want. That fact isn't just nice, it's simply amazing. Personally I like the sailfish gestures better than the buttons of Android. That's why I want a native app.
