Hi I do love this app. Would there be any way to have a sort by last read in the library? I open in library mode and would love to just have the books appear in the order they were last used (kind of like a compromise between opening last read and opening in library mode).
Thanks again, as the above poster says the updates to fbreader are one of the great points of the n900.

Does tap to scroll work? I checked the checkbox in Preferences. I need an easy way to do next page with the keyboard open, because I often use Ctrl-Bksp to switch windows. I use HiveMind together with FBreader for great note taking.

Right now, the open in doctionary is not working for me. Even when it was working, the implementation is not right IMO. ie, the text selection is way too accurate. ut when using fingers, we usually just want complete words to get selected to open in dictionary. What happens now is that when we select, even partial words from either side of the word we wish to select are also getting selected.
Is there any way to change this text selection behaviour so that it automatically selects complete words? For reference, you can check out the default behaviour of MobiPocket reader.
Thanks!

I think I'm set up the way I want now, thanks.

With text selection and scroll by dragging enabled, I can only get text selection to work. I don't think both of these options are compatible.

I have FBreader 0.10.7-1 on a Maemo OS2008 and I would like to use to search/read reference and translation dictionaries
I know that FB Reader can only read mobipocket format without DRM, however, my ebooks have no DRM or I think so.
One is wikipedia(Spanish), and in theory since it is not a commercial book I think it shouldn't have DRM, when I try to add to library, FBreader gives the message "Couldn't open: Unsupported compresion method"
In other thread someone told me about one python script to remove the compression, do you think the problem is the compression? is the script mobihuff.py?
The same error happen when Oxford ALD, and Chambers dictionaries
On the contrary I could open one mobipocket english dictionary (Wordnet) and I can access to the data. However, there isn't a search index, to search in the topics. I can use the normal search function but to search in the entire content instead of topics but it is useless.
Are you using FBreader with these kind of data?
any way to have wikipedia in a maemo OS2008?

I, too, would like to second my appreciation for the work on FBReader.
Is this supposed to work?

(This is about fbreader on the n900)

As a random comment, I would have really liked a way to get fbreader to read out via espeak.
Thanks again.
