So I can't "scroll" or jump forward more than a single page, and I can't jump backwards at all.
Well, the way you are explaining it, it sounds like you are simply using it wrong. FBReader provides several ways of navigation, see if any of these work for you:
1. Table of contents, if the book has one.
2. Scrollbar, which is ugly so I have it disabled.
3. "Old style" status bar that shows page number and a book progress bar which you touch to jump through the book.
4. Page number entry field which I had to disable in Maemo5 due to lack of toolbar space.
5. Undo/redo buttons that let you quickly switch to positions you previously navigated to. Think of them as autobookmarks.
So, one of these should work for you. Personally, I use #1 and #3.
I suppose I'm doing something wrong or have some Preference set in a way that causes problems, but I can't figure out what the problem is.
As for #4, are you saying that direct navigation to a page number is somehow accessible, just not from the toolbar? I can't find that method either.
So, answers as to how to do #3 and #4 would be greatly appreciated.

is there a way to fremantle-ify the preferences menu (tidy it up for fremantle basically)? at the moment some of the input boxes in preferences and book properties are clearly cut off.
and on a side note, thank you for all your effort in porting fbreader

I guess it's possible that feedbooks.com is being blocked for me for some reason -- does this feature work for anyone else?
I posted an inquiry about this in the googlegroups fbreader group.
Here is the answer from the FBreader googlegroup:

I can't get books from feedbooks.com on two different versions of FBreader, one on my Nokia N800 and one on my Nokia N900. feedbooks.com is checked in the preferences. A Russian book site, also checked, works fine. I wonder if it is blocked in my area (to defend against spam, say) or it is a general problem.

Hi,
That's because the feedbooks API has been changed. New feedbooks API
is used in 0.12.* that will be released for maemo platform in February
2010.
Best,
-- Nikolay

You might want to check out the Republic of Pembroke web site if you are an Austen fan.
The point is that FBreader makes it easy to download books from certain sites listed in the preferences. Did you even know that? Project Gutenberg isn't a choice. There are only two choices, a Russian site and Feedbooks.com. Feedbooks.com appears to get some books from Project Gutenberg.
However, Feedbooks.com does not work in several versions of FBreader on my tablets, meaning that zero English-language books can be dowmloaded using FBreader at my house.
No one has confirmed this problem; but I suspect it is general.
Edit: By the way, Kathy, you might check out the last post in the thread you thought I might like. It is from me.
No, I didn't know that frbreader will look for books. I only have the version from extras so far, and I haven't found that function. Reading your post it sounded like you were having trouble finding books. Clearerly you're not. I apologise for misreading your post.

Is it just me or has the full screen exit icon gone opaque for everybody else, after upgrading to PR1.1?

How about search function? Any plan to include that in final release?
