Hello,

After enjoying reading nicely zoomed / fitted epub books on FBReader on my N900 I am wondering why the default browser (microB) doesn't provide this excellent functionality while browsing pages. That is to say texts are nicely wrapped when I zoom them into some eye-friendly level.

I installed Opera 10.1 beta and it somehow does what I want. I set the zooming to 300% and zoomed area is nicely reshape itself without extra scrollers involved.

Also aimed at testing Firefox mobile; funnily its download page doesn't recognize me as a supported Maemo device. Probably it can't read the string from "About product" section where it says Nokia N900 and <unknown>, Version <unknown>. Not sure how these fields are scrambled.

Anyways, any experience with word wrapping feature. Is there any trick to make it work on microB as well?

Thanks.

microB has this feature, too. But it does it so badly that it comes disabled by default.
Press Shift + Ctrl + I to activate it. On some sites it doesn't work at all.

Also, check out Readability -- Google it generally and, if interested, on this forum.

Yes, it works. So far only tested with news.google. and cnn. Interestingly key-combo it doesn't give any info regarding to wrapping activation

On news key scrolling disables, on cnn when I scroll with up-down arrows the screen sizzles.

It is something and better than nothing.

Do you have any specific link/site suggestions?

I want to add a small tip for the folks out there, who experience the same annoying thing with the ctrl + shift + i combo.

When I do it, MicroB focuses on the url bar and does not reflow!

Anyways, under settings, you can choose to disable "autofocus on address bar" - or something like that. That shows it! ...until you start your browser again.

When it happens, you can force it to work also switching full screen mode on/off
