Well I definitely noticed but am unable do anything about it. Oh well I am sure it will be fixed soon enough. Can't beat it for the price! I am just so happy to have discovered a decent ebook reader for the n800. Book reading is my definite number 2 use. Thanks to the developers.

I agree, big thanks to Nikolay Pultsin et al (?!) for this software! BTW in the OS2007 version you can simply configure the nav buttons as you like - I do not miss finger scrolling anymore (there was no such configuration in earlier versions for 770, was it?).

I don't actually miss finger scrolling; it was just nice to know it was there for those awkward moments when you can't seem to reach any of the preconfigured buttons.
And to put things in perspective: FBReader is the single most used application on both my 770 and my N800. Of course, the Internet Tablets' amazing screens take a lot of credit for that.

I remapped the center button on the 4 way pad to scroll one page at a time, and that is very useful and makes for fast reading.

Without supporting it with my right hand, the N800's just a little too heavy to hold and scroll one-handed (no sniggering at the back please) so I wanted to be able to hold it in my left hand and just tap the screen with my right when needed. But I find that screen tapping's not working

The center button switches to landscape mode (because ever so often I need it).

This works for me.

I admit finger scrolling would be good to impress the neighbor in the train :-)

IMHO the greatest thing about the finger scrolling is that it's silent. Like completely silent, not like the oh, it just makes a small noise kinda silent. I often read books in bed if I can't get sleep. Now, it's not very nice to be making clicking noise every 30 secs beside someone.

It's not a big deal since I didn't use it that often, but it most likely has to do with the new way the N800 handles finger-touches on the screen.
