Does the latest version allow you to configure text/background color? Black on white text is an eye-killer.

<facepalms> No, you do not really need this application, so nothing to see here. It is a niche application.
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.
I was hoping for some information on the N900's version, its expected features, etc, so I could possibly report it back to the Maemo Freak community. Would you prefer I didn't do that? Because there is a general interest in the apps under development for Maemo 5. That interest will die if no one is willing to talk about it except among themselves.

thanks for the new build, will try it once garage comes back up. just wondering if there was any functionality to page forward/back using screen taps, like cbrpager. would definitely be a plus for single-handed reading

Duh, thanks! The little dots are unclear I didnt see the additional menus. Now I can read on the train again until I break down and get an ereader.
