FBreader

I have recently come into possession of some html ebooks and I wanted to see if I could give FBreader a try. I am a ebook junkie and every time I look for a new device I look to see if eReader is available for it. Having support for ereader was a serious factor when I was deciding whither to buy the n800.

I did have a difficult time installing the program cause the site was down at the time. But I found the Google group of the software and discovered an alternate location to download the file.

When the program was up and running I loaded a book up and started reading. The default reading settings were horrible. Each time I went to page down the book would only scroll one line. So I went on to google and found a great article at Teleread.com. This wonderful article showed the basics of FBreader.

After I cleaned up the settings I was a happy camper. The program works great with a few kinks. Occasionally the program will continuously page down until I press page up. Also there is no support for bookmarks. Which would be great considering FBreader lost my place when I first ran the program.

FBreader is not perfect but is a good program. I can't wait until they add bookmark support. Now I just have to figure out what format to save my ebooks in.
