The latest version is in -Testing.

Is this version one that searches for books out on the Net, or an older version? The one in Testing seemed not to have that feature.
This feature is still present, but you have to invoke it from the menu. There wasn't enough space for it at the toolbar.

On N8x0 version, is it possible to scroll or jump multiple pages and, using that same interface, also see page numbers?

Very nice application. I use the volume buttons to scroll. Just wish that the scrolling was a little easier when using fingers.

What power settings are you guys using when fbreading? I can only find the "power setting mode" in the N900 settings (...)

Edit: never mind, found it in the simple brightness applet, which leads me to think it was elsewhere too, I just didnt realize the icon led to a sub menu.

It is a known problem. You have to target those little icons in the book list precisely. Then it works.

I still can't find the way to search for books on the net (my favorite feature).

If I go to Library/Add book, it gives me a local directory.
If I go to Find, it lets me look for text in whatever selection I have open.

My text background is the nice color you mentioned, so I guess this is a recent version.

I just checked myself and have not found it either. No problem though: I will add it to the menu in the next version.

Thanks. In the meantime, the program Mgutenberg works fine for the same purpose.
