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.

FBReader is a great example of how a maemo app should be made. It's intuitive, feature0rich and highly useful.

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

Rated **   by zabbler (2007-12-12 23:25 UTC):

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.

Rated ***** by vykk3 (2007-12-05 21:17 UTC):

A few weirdities, but EXCELLENT, allows me to replace my suckwad palm Z31 with the n800 for ebook reading.

Thanks VERY much!
