Re: Commercial ebook reader
Make sure you have the very latest version of FBReader (0.12.10-27 I believe). After the recent flurry of updates it's damned well close to being a perfect smartphone reader.
IMHO, of course.

Re: Commercial ebook reader
Nope, just locate the downloaded file - save to your desktop for example - and copy that onto a directory on your N900.
Then start the Dorian application, tap on the icon that looks like a little...

Re: Commercial ebook reader
Well, an EPUB file IS a zip-archive, so that isn't too surprising. Try, to ensure the book is properly downloaded, installing the epubreader extension for Firefox, and use that to open the file.

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
I'm ... speechless. Ok. Will you add an upstreams bug, or shall I?
Thanks for looking into this, tho. Atleast I've got a workaround until the ... problem can be fixed.

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
Thought. Rob1n, can you tell me - I can read source, but you know it better - what level of support FBReader have for CSS in terms of its inclusion?
i.e. does it support STYLE elements? Or just...

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
I've just tested this with a Calibre-produced ePub, which sports a CSS with text-indent and margin-top on paragraphs. The text-indent still works; the margin top ... not so much. Alas :(

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
Having an odd problem here. As mentioned, FBreader has a problem with the CSS involved in epubs. I can't seem to get it to add a margin between paragraphs.
However: I just tried adding the same in...

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
You can turn the N900 to 'upside portrait', for lack of a better phrase, and set FBReader to turn its display the same way. Then you have the volume rockers with which to page up and down under your...

Re: I will stick with N900
Depends entirely on the specs of the N9, and of the OS it runs. If it is better than the N900, then, perhaps, we'll replace ours (we use the N900 as company phones/PDAs). When we get a good deal on...

Re: N900's one major shortcoming: ToDo List
Excellent. Now compare it to AgendusPro, and you'll quickly notice a difference.
If emacs cover your needs, great. Despite being a long-term emacs user, a todo-list it isn't. Not for me.

Re: N900's one major shortcoming: ToDo List
None, I have found, of practical value. This remains a serious shortcoming in the N900, at least for business use.
While this is, of course, a highly subjective topic, I find that the following...
