oh okay. i just thought when you said disabled by default in the package you meant some compile-time tweaking would be necessary. thanks for clearing that up.

I don't want to assume, so could you tell me why I wouldn't be a candidate as a user of fbreader? We've never met, so it must be something in my profile image? Should I switch to one in a hoodie, or maybe try wearing reading glasses? Curious how you quickly dismissed me like that.

Maybe because you don't even have the courtesy to use Google.

It was a kind of shock that a first-class brainiac and debater didn't know what Fbreader was. It is as famous as, say, Maemo Mapper.

And I think the niche product comment came from discussions mainly from before Kindles existed, from people saying that no one wanted a book reader; it was just a niche product. These were people in favor of making the N900 a smaller tablet, as was done.

qwerty, fms

Thanks for all of your work.
On the most recent build. I can no longer use the volume keys for page forward and back. This was the fixed sometime in the last week and now broken again. The first build I installed it was also nonfunctional.

With the full screen patch added and the volume keys enabled I would have everything I need......

Dpkg purge and reinstall through application manager fixed the problem...

Thanks again
E.

OS2005, even. It was one of the first 3rd party applications released for Maemo.

The Application Manager wont upgrade packages in user/* with packages not in user/*. As the section on libzlibrary was changed to a non-user one (as it should've been since the beginning) h-a-m will refuse to upgrade to it (though it will do so silently, apparently). You'll either need to uninstall and reinstall FBReader or run an apt-get upgrade from XTerm.

This is kinda troubling though. If I release the next version with zlibrary in libs, will HAM upgrade from the current one?

Nokia N900

I saw the option for fbreader in preferences scrolling "large Scrollings". When I change it to tap scrolling.

"check on" scroll on finger tap only.

Every time I go back to this menu, it will goes back to "Large scrolling".
Bug ??

Other thing that I am wondering, whether its possible to touch the "left half " side of the screen to go back 1 page, and "touch the "right half of the screen to go to the next 1 page".

or even touch the screen to go up or down the page.

PS: I am still new on fbreader.

Not a bug.

No, only top/bottom. You have to configure Tap Scrolling in a special manner (it does not work out of the box on Maemo).

Please, vote here to enable tap scrolling by default

I can do that but only if people say it is ok with them.

*vote*

Or should there be a link instead of the text?
