PyBookReader eBook Reader
 
Very good ebook reader application for Linux. Not optimized for Mameo but works well. I just thought I'd create this thread to let people know about it. And I'll post some screenshots sometime.

The only problem I've had is that the application wont go fullscreen. Maybe some interested programmer could have a shot at getting that to work? I'd contact the original programmer but I doubt he has a IT or else he probably would have already optimized it.

Well the most interesting feature is that it is able to automatically scroll the screen for you. You press a button and it will roll the text forward at whatever speed you want. So you're not constantly clicking to jump a page ahead.

From browsing the code, it looks like just plain text, FB2 and HTML. (Also gzipped versions of those.)

I was able to get it to go fullscreen by using the menu control...

It worked fine the first few times I tried it. Now I get this error...

I'm not very experienced with terminal and python and all that. So maybe I've done something wrong?

I think you've run the application as root inbetween. Now it cannot access its database file anymore as normal user.
