Taken from the source of... well Sourceforge.
Here is the link to the page I found this out from:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1768012&group_id=149290&atid=774197
Do not thank me for this update, the creator is Paul Murray from the website.
Here is his update and his changelog:

This is a collection of changes I have made for my personal copy of bookr
and thought that others might find useful. I use bookr on text and palmdoc
files, so my changes are targetted to that, I do not use the pdf
functionality.

Date Created:
- 2007-08-05 13:00

Changes:
- Swap Circle and Cross use to match western conventions
- Record last file opened and automatically reopen when bookr starts
- Tidy up source references to button images to use constants to make
source reading easier
- Reload document if font face changed, no only if font size changed
- Option to scale line height from 50% to 150% of normal, to either
increase spacing for better readability, or squeeze more text onto the
screen
- Option to ignore CRs if less than a certain number occur together, useful
if the file has been line broken at a specific width
- Separate last viewed folder memory for books and fonts
- Two separate speed settings, one for menus and file loading, one for
reading books, so you can set it to 10Mhz for good batter life, but still
open files quickly
- Read title for palmdoc files

Seeing that it's a small update, I don't know if anyone will grab this. I'm merely posting it so that some mod or admin posts this on the main PSP News website. Overall, an update is always welcomed I hope, especially since alot of people were asking for an update of this anyway a few weeks/months after it went dead from it's creator's last update.

Note: When I mean this is an update, it's merely a patch (Notice the small size). Please do not remove the original file if you have it on your psp already. Merely place the file in the same folder,overwrite, and things are hunky dorey!

Oh, And here is the download link to the file, almost forgot:

Wow. Thank you... so much! I use Bookr as much or more than watching movies whenever I am stuck on a plane. Your patch fixes my gripes and then some. I hated the Japanese convention for X & O, I hated having to set it to 333mhz to open up a book so it would load before I became old, only to change it back to save batt life.

You're the man, this made my day. (Well, it would have if I wasn't at work on a Satuday.)

da1writer, would you mind uploading the compiled version to another site, rapidshare / easy-share.com etc

I look forward to using this updated version, the pdb display formating issues had put me off using my psp as an ebook reader.

Thanks.

I second that. If someone has a patched version, could you please upload somewhere? Thanks.

I've tried a few palmdoc (.pdb) files and don't appear to be supported at all. Is there only a specific variety of palmdoc file that will work? Also any suggestions about formatting plain .txt. I'm having a problem similar to this (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11286).

That does not really help. I tried some tools but none are accepting the pdb files I try. Care to be more specific please?

da1writer: any chance of a fixed screen brightness option, the constant changing to the lowest setting due to inactivity is a great source of frustration :mad: I see it's already been suggested as feature here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1602652&group_id=149290&atid=774198

Nevermind, irshell's 4th brightness option (L + screen button) disables veil mode.
