This version is for those wanting to get their hands on this as soon as possible, and can tolerate some rough edges.

This is a version of Typhon with good E-Ink support, meaning text should be readable in most cases and there shouldn't be any white-on-black text.

This release should make reading EPUB files with Japanese text for Japanese learners a breeze. Simply click on a word to see its definition.

  • You may need to click on adjacent characters to "feel around" for the longest, best-match phrase
  • The correct definition may not be the first result; you should context clues to pick the best definition
  • If you don't get any useful results, check ENamDict by scrolling the dictionary view over to the final column
    ...In other words, you need to use your brain, and that's a good thing!

Note that Typhon does not require Google Play. I tested this to work on Android 9 and 10.

To install

  • Download Typhon-EInk2.apk and open it
  • Allow application installs from unknown sources
  • Follow the dialogs to install the application
  • Open Typhon
  • Browse to a folder on your device with .epub files (use Calibre to create some if you don't have any)
