Hello, Nikolay,
I would be very grateful if you write at least a little recipe for me
to compile it in windows using mingw. I already tried to compile it
using the MSYS+MinGW environment, without success...
Thanks in advance,
Luis Fernando Teixeira

Re: Link error while compile FBReader with arm-cegcc

Hi,
FBReader was never compilable for pocketpc platform, sorry.
As for your error message, looks like you try to link objects compiled
with incompatible options (I think, -frtti & -fno-rtti).
Best,

First impressions re FBreader

rjeffr...@gmail.com (Ron K. Jeffries) — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 17:26:27 UT

Just finished reading the 1904 novel Calumet "K" [1904...] my FIRST
ebook, using FBreader on Vista64 running n a laptop w/ 14 inch screen.
It was delightful!
As a first time FBreader user, a couple of useability notes:
1) out of the box, it would be friendly to guide the new user to
adjust the font and font size.

Love FBReader, just wanted to say "thanks"

I've been using FBReaderJ for Android for about a year now and I love
it. I have a huge collection of DRM-free ebooks and have been able to
enjoy them first on my G1 and now on my Milestone.
I just wanted to thank you for the work you put into this e-reader. I
mostly read ebooks on my Kindle (I find the eInk screen can't be beat

Thanks AlanW!
I hadn't realized that mobi/pdb files are supported. I've tried a few
non-DRM'd books from Baen and they work well on my phone (HTC Magic
with FBReaderJ 0.5.23).
Regards,
Kevin

Thank you. I totally missed trying the "gear" wheel.
Now the question is, what font do people find most
comfortable when reading using a 13 inch notebook

Re: epub and DRM and Android

I suggest looking on the Forums at mobileread.com for discussions of
DRM issues. Look for ADEPT in the thread title (since Adobe's DRM is
called ADEPT).

Hi Ron,
Run the Preferences Dialog (click a gear icon on the toolbar or just
press a hotkey 'O'). Then select 'Styles' tab. You'll see options
named 'Family' (you can select a font name) and 'Size' (this is font
size in pixels). Select your preferred values, press 'OK' or 'Apply'
and enjoy. :)
Hope this helps.

How to adjust font and text size

rjeffr...@gmail.com (Ron K. Jeffries) — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 18:40:53 UT

I am just starting with FBReader on Windows. (plan to also use w/Ubuntu).
I am puzzled that I can't figure out how to change the font or font
size in FBReader.
My eyes are imperfect. ;)
be well

No. FBReader doesn't support DRM'd formats, sorry.

My public library lends digital books, some of which are in epub format, others in Mobipocket, others in Adobe PDF. The epub books are supposed to be usable on the Sony Reader, but fbreader doesn't recognize them at all. In contrast, eReader sees them and says they have DRM. Is there any way to read them on Android using fbreader?

From the release notes for FBReaderJ 0.5.0: "Experimental Mobipocket
format support has been added. FBReaderJ support only modern non-DRM'd
Mobipocket books."
The ebook you reference probably is in the "modern" MobiPocket format
(i.e. it has the metadata needed by FBReaderJ), but all ebooks you buy
from mobipocket.com have DRM (i.e. are encrypted).

Testing wanted: FBReader 0.12.1 for SmartQ

geome...@fbreader.org (geometer) — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 15:39:22 UT

Hi All,
I've builded a test version of 0.12.1 packages for SmartQ device. At
the moment I have 1 report from a SmartQ 5 user that this version
works well on his device. I'm not sure about SmartQ 7. Unfortunately
my own device is broken so I cannot test.
If you have a SmartQ 5/7 and you're ready to make an experiment,
