Scaler .... What happens if you turn off "open external links in default browser" in Fbreader options->web?
Alternatively try converting the file to .txt, which doesn't allow hyperlinks
.... on this [N810] the zoom button on the top of the device is used for page turns.
It's easier to use this than tap the screen when reading in portrait mode.

I am using dorian to read ebooks on my N900 - seems to cope with my O'Reilly epubs better than fbreader. I am tempted by the new cheap Kindle, although all this messing about with format conversion to read epubs does sound like a bit of a chore.

As for holding I nearly always read in portrait mode and hold the N810 in my right hand. What I do is open the support on the back of the N810 and pass my four finger through the support and onto the left hand side (bottom). My thumb is then on the right hand side (top) I find that my thumb sits naturally right on the zoom button making page turns virtually effortless. Another advantage is that opening the support and passing my fingers through makes it difficult to drop the device.
In FBReader, after a few pages of the novel were turned by tapping the screen, any further tap caused the default browser to open and attempt to connect with http://www.penguin.com . The FBReader was minimized until the browser was closed. The page did not turn.
[EDIT: THIS PROBLEM CAN BE AVOIDED by following the advice from Engmex and geneven in later posts. They advise converting the file to .txt or .epub rather than .fb2 .]
