FBReader 0.7 released with Plucker support
A new version of FBReader has been released and you can download it from a new place. I'm very sorry for not providing packages for the Nokia 770 yet... I was quite busy as of late.
New features in version 0.7 include:
Currently FBReader works on Sharp Zaurus with Qtopia-based ROMs and pdaXrom, Siemens Simpad with Opensimpad 0.9.0/Opie ROM and Linux desktops. A port for the Maemo platform is under development. Last edited by MishaS; 10-27-2005 at 03:31 PM. Reason: added important features |

This is good news, Misha. Congratulations! Adding those additional formats should make FBReader even more flexible as a reader.
I take it that images in html are still not handled though? What about images in Plucker files -- are those OK? Roger Last edited by rsperberg; 10-27-2005 at 08:07 PM. |

Misha, let's talk about supporting some real mobile devices here, like powered with Windows Mobile (ok, I am hiding behind the tree now).
Any plans, and if yes, ETA? |

Well, seriously, as for Windows Mobile, there're not ETA yet. To quote the author "A Windows Mobile port is not reasonable enough -- there's quite a bit of readers for that platform, while FBReader does not have enough features". I'd say it's certainly not going to happen this year |

Experimenting with the Plucker viewer on the Nokia 770, I learned that it cannot display the full contents of Plucker pdb files made from a single long file. (If you break it up into smaller pieces and link them, no problem.)
I wondered whether FBReader has any problems with such files . . . for instance, if you download the Project Gutenberg Plucker version of Hermann Hesse's Siddhartha, at http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/2500, are you able to read to the end? Thanks, Roger Sperberg |

I've been able to try out the FBReader for Nokia 770 the last couple days. it's pretty terrific. And it installed easily.
I will be working up documentation on how to use FBReader, and prepatory to doing that I made some screen captures of the program to get a sense of how much text you can see on-screen, as well as how useful the portrait mode is (very). You can view these captures at topicalweb.com/making-ebooks/fbreader-captures.htm I'm traveling, so I won't be able to post more on this till the weekend or after. Roger |
