278b056bd0 Add chapter select support to XTC files (#145)
## Summary

- **What is the goal of this PR?** Add chapter selection support to the
XTC reader activity, including parsing chapter metadata from XTC files.
- **What changes are included?** Implemented XTC chapter parsing and
exposure in the XTC library, added a chapter selection activity for XTC,
integrated it into XtcReaderActivity, and normalized chapter page
indices by shifting them to 0-based.

  ## Additional Context

- The reader uses 0-based page indexing (first page = 0), but the XTC
chapter table appears to be 1-based (first page = 1), so chapter
start/end pages are shifted down by 1 during parsing.

140d8749a6 Support swapping the functionality of the front buttons (#133)
## Summary

**What is the goal of this PR?** 

Adds a setting to swap the front buttons. The default functionality are:
Back/Confirm/Left/Right. When this setting is enabled they become:
Left/Right/Back/Confirm. This makes it more comfortable to use when
holding in your right hand since your thumb can more easily rest on the
next button. The original firmware has a similar setting.

**What changes are included?**

- Add the new setting.
- Create a mapper to dynamically switch the buttons based on the
setting.
- Use mapper on the various activity screens.
- Update the button hints to reflect the swapped buttons.

## Additional Context

Full disclosure: I used Codex CLI to put this PR together, but did
review it to make sure it makes sense.

f9b604f04e Add XTC/XTCH ebook format support (#135)
## Summary

* **What is the goal of this PR?**

Add support for XTC (XTeink X4 native) ebook format, which contains
pre-rendered 480x800 1-bit bitmap pages optimized for e-ink displays.

* **What changes are included?**

- New `lib/Xtc/` library with XtcParser for reading XTC files
- XtcReaderActivity for displaying XTC pages on e-ink display
- XTC file detection in FileSelectionActivity
- Cover BMP generation from first XTC page
- Correct XTG page header structure (22 bytes) and bit polarity handling

## Additional Context

- XTC files contain pre-rendered bitmap pages with embedded status bar
(page numbers, progress %)
- XTG page header: 22 bytes (magic + dimensions + reserved fields +
bitmap size)
- Bit polarity: 0 = black, 1 = white
- No runtime text rendering needed - pages display directly on e-ink
- Faster page display compared to EPUB since no parsing/rendering
required
- Memory efficient: loads one page at a time (48KB per page)
- Tested with XTC files generated from https://x4converter.rho.sh/
- Verified correct page alignment and color rendering
- Please report any issues if you test with XTC files from other
sources.
