I'm wondering if these FBReader functions work properly for other people. (They don't for me.) I'm using FBReader 0.10.7-1 and the final maemo OS2008. Everything is freshly installed.

One problem is with text selection. I just can't accurately choose what's being selected. Usually I'll tap the screen and nothing will happen; sometimes I'll have tapped in a single place, but a large random chunk of a paragraph will have been selected. Can anyone actually select what they want with this program?

Secondly, I can't open books from the FBReader library. I can get them into the library by using the book+Plus-sign icon. Books that I've recently opened even show up in the drop-down menu next to the Library icon, and can be opened from there. I can open the library and see the list of authors, with little + signs next to them.

However, if I click on the plus sign, I don't get a list of that author's books. I can't launch anything from the library list. At most, clicking makes the list jump to another place. As a result, I've always opened books by going through the Add-Book-to-the-Library screen, which isn't very convenient and limits me to choosing them on the basis of file name rather than author or title.

Similar or different experiences? Solutions?
