ok one last request, I have no idea if it is upstream or easily doable.

swiping the page turn works but makes the annoying left arrow in a box appear. It is not only a distraction, but also blocks you from being able to use the indicator (the little strip on the bottom) to navigate to certain pages because it covers part of the indicator. this is the "show full page" button and can be disab
led in settings. however if it is disabled, I see no way to get out of full screen (short of mapping a physical key to do it).

now at the right of the indicator bar, there is a little space that displays your page in the book. I wish there was an option under preferences/options -- maemo tab that said "tap to right of indicator to toggle full screen".
then it would just move you in/out of full screen without the annoying box.

I hope I am not asking too much here. with the toc now fbreader is really looking up for me. I am using fbreader in portrait mode and have my indicator height set at 60. It is now easy to touch navigate a book cept for the "display a button to exit full screen mode" button popping up every time you either finger swipe to turn a page or try to touch navigate via the indicartor strip.

Thank you very much for listening.
