killdeer, I was also miffed off with coming from a pda with autoscrolling to one without..

The way fbreader is written would make it very difficult to directly translate the work I have started within liqbase into fbreader though.
However the new liqbase library will include a method to just open the screen and do the technical stuff, maybe someone else can go further from the fbreader side itself.

the other alternative will be to expand liqbook itself with the options required to read various formats. Its already under development myself and will be a documented document reader (just with document types I specifically need and others assist with).
Other formats could be coded and used directly from there.
