the interface could be more intuitive and responsive. And having soft scrolling would be awesome.
Version 0.10.7-1 working stable on my N800, Installed from http://www.fbreader.org/maemo/
A must have app, one of the first apps I install on a refresh.
A must have program.
great for my study activity, it's an exellent ebook reader!
Great app, and I only discovered it some months ago. I always thought the best way to read eBooks in the tablet would be PDF, but I was wrong: HTML and FBReader for the win :)
great. if it could read pdf and doc it would be perfect for me.
Just an excellent application!
I have N810 and there is my comment: the page switching is assigned to the volume buttons on top of N810. Joystick buttons are for scrolling only.
But it is no so useful to press volume buttons, when you read text in 'landscape' orientation.
Is it possible to assign, e.g. page switching to the 'Up' and 'Down' buttons of joystick? Meanwhile the backligh of keyboard should be OFF (don't know is it possible)
A decent port of this application. The original is far from polished so we can't expect too much but it does certainly take some getting used to.

My n800 is not complete without this application. It's the first I install if after a reflash!
Great application to read ebooks.
It would be nice if it could support more formats as pdf or lrf, but good enough without them.
I too find the icons non-intuitive, but that is my only complaint of this excellent ebook reader. This program has consumed more battery than almost everything else I use put together!
Why isn't this included by default, I don't know. Minus one star because usability could be better (all the buttons at the bottom aren't exactly comprehensible right away), but all the same an incredibly useful app.
Greap app, but I hope that libzlibrary could be moved out of user/ section so that it wouldn't show up in Application manager.
Excellent reader and available in extras ;)
It's been one of the first applications I install with every device and ever reflash since nearly the first day it became available. An absolute essential that has gotten me through dozens and dozens of books over the years.
Now it's in extras, it's a pretty damn cool app :-)
Excellent application, read all my books with it fine.
I give it 5 for being an excellent application and for being in extras.
Excellent piece of softwre, but loses *s for not being in the extras repository.
Excellent reader .. I have some commercial ebooks on Palm MMC cards that I haven't gotten to work yet, but otherwise, it does everything I need.
I bought N800 exactly because of this program. Desktop version of it is really nice, too. Must have for everyone.
ebook reading is one of the main reasons why i bought n800 and fbreader is excellent. of course, support for more formats and flite (speech) would be great.
I will give it a 5 once I learn how to read plucker docs as the app does not see a .pdb file on the N800. It looks great but...
An application I didn't know I needed until I found it. And now I've found it, I wouldn't be without it.
Perhaps a little un-intuitive to set up in the first place (took a while to work out that books I put where it was configured to look still had to be added to the library) but once it's set up, it works like a dream.
great app, i've read a lot with it. improvement wishlist: even after tweaking settings, getting pages to change with thumb can be aggravating. i usually end up tapping it hard with a nail. or giving up and using the tablet's buttons. also, my library has mysteriously disappeared on me a few times. besides that, great, gets the job done!
Absolutely superb. Reading eBooks on the N800's crystal-clear screen is an absolute delight, and FBReader rocks my world with its configurability.
I am thrilled with fbreader. I was concerned that moving to the N800 would leave me without a solid reader. But I am liking FBReader more every day. And now that I have access to the memory cards working I can have my whole library with me.
I especially appreciate the level of configuration control.
Perfect time spent on long sea voyages! Must have for everyone!
FBReader is a great example of how a maemo app should be made. It's intuitive, feature0rich and highly useful.
Essential
Really great software, let's hope there will be bookmarking, annotation and dictionary support, thumbs up
Love it! Excellent reader! Highly recommended! I initially had trouble doing an offline installation of it onto OS2008, but I described the problem to them at fbreader.org and they published a fix for the problem just over an hour later!
Sounds good but will not install on my N810
Loved it on my N800, but the OS2008 version doesn't install on my new N810. Once this is fixed, I will raise my rating.
A few weirdities, but EXCELLENT, allows me to replace my suckwad palm Z31 with the n800 for ebook reading.
Thanks VERY much!
Must have read 30 books with it...
