Anyway, using a port with readAsDataURL and uploading base64 encoded files is not so bad, are the overhead and server decoding really an issue for you?

Nah. At the time I couldn't find a succinct example with the FileReader stuff. The one I found still used native code and also had a lot of extra abstractions to wade through. So it was quicker to just do what I did. But I'm not married to it. I did find a pretty clear port solution with FileReader that I would use now.
