The open-source dotReader e-booking reading software from Osoft (http://www.dotreader.com/site/) is in beta, but is available for download by anyone.

Earlier today, I converted the introductory sections plus the first 28 exercises from Franklin E. Huffman's Cambodian System of Writing into dotReader format.

I wanted to advise that, at least with the limited amount of Khmer included in that material, the dotReader did fine. (That is all Unicode, btw.) I was running dotReader on Windows.

I'll be experimenting with larger segments of text soon.

I believe the first tool available to put texts into dotReader format is at books.digitalreading.net (and that is the tool I used). Osoft hasn't made its own content creation/conversion tool available yet, but has posted the Drupal module necessary to enable any Drupal site to export content as a dotReader text.

One of the best features of dotReader is that versions for Windows, Macintosh and Linux are being readied (and beta versions of which can be downloaded now).

Osoft is a commercial operation, but the dotReader effort is entirely open-source.
