   Thanks for the post and nice link to the wonderful book (though I prefer hardware e-readers to software emulators).

   By e-reader, its a way to embed a book on a website. Such as they have digitized images for the book Alice in wonderland. And can display it for you online by going to their website.

   The way to find the source for BookReader by going to the link for Open Source. You can check it out from GitHub, http://github.com/openlibrary/bookreader/tree/master
