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 :)

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.

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.
