I am always changing how I hold the device on my commute and it would be nice if it could follow me and I often extend the keyboard for easier one handed operation (I have a whole bunch of keys set to turn pages)
Thanks
How do you set a 'whole bunch' of keys to turn pages?
The up and down arrows on the keyboard turn pages, but I'd like to set A and Z to turn pages too. It's in Options I guess. I'll have a look.

Just figured it out.
It's in Preferences - Keys.

Now I just need a way to toggle a bg/text colour profile - e.g. flip from "dark bg/ light text" to "light bg/dark text" like you can in mGutenberg, but I don't think FB Reader can do that.

You can already do this - you'll need to tap the little dots at the left/right of the visible tabs in order to scroll to the other tabs though.
However ... there are a few problems with the preferences.
Choose "Format", then "Regular Paragraph", and observe the "Line Start Indent" property - only the "-" (minus) control is visible; and that part-way. The same goes for other controls in the 'right hand column' so to speak.This, and the difficulties in getting preferences to stick for EPUB files is among the major problems I, personally, have with FBReader at the moment.

Does anyone else have trouble selecting books that have already been added to the library?
If I single tap on a book it moves the list up or down 1 screen. Double tapping will open a book after moving the list, so I have to guess where the book is at, double tap and hope.
Any ideas? (Same in last 2 versions)

PS: It is in the Settings. No, look for it.

Tapping above the title doesn't seem to work (unless I haven't found that magic height).
Tap scrollings:
unchecked - Scroll on finger tap only
checked - Scroll by Dragging Only
Tap and Drag both seem to work? Any other settings that should be changed in conjunction with those?

I just discovered this nice app....
is there any way to see the table of contents on an epub document? I have a bunch of oreilly technical ebooks. the .mobe does not format well in fbreader on my n900, but has table of contents. epub formats really well...but with no table of contents. how to navigate a giant oreilly technical epub book on a 3 1/2 device with no table of contents. btw I did look at the fbreader site and they say toc was enabled some time ago. my dpkg -l grep -i fbreader says I have 0.10.7-11 version. Is this the latest? I have not tinkered with any non standard rwepos for fear of bricking my device. Thanks for listening.
