i had been using fbreader pretty well for about a couple of month. but now when i try to open it, it shows busy for a while (rotating circle on top) and then just goes off. it doesn't start. i rebooted. it worked for a while. then after about an hour or so it became the same again. plus i tried looking in /usr/bin/FBReader, it says file too large cannot open. is this the problem???

Have you tried renaming the file and seeing if the reader opens then? Maybe that file is corrupt.

after reboot it works just fine now...waiting for the problem to reccur again. can't rename also.... when i type some other name and say accept it doesn't accept it. does this problem have anything to do with openssh client and server?

This happens to me from time to time, not able to start it from the icon.

The fix.

Open up an x-term window and type "FBReader" (without the quotes). You only need to do this once. After this you can continue opening it from the icon as usual.

For extremely large medical books, Kchmviewer is by far the best app to use for those.

I've got Cecil Medicine 23rd edition (193 megs), Harrison's 17th edition (166 megs), 5 Minute Medical Consult 16th edition (41megs), Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment 48th edition (50 megs), Guyton Textbook of Medical Physiology 11th edition (19 megs), Pathophysiology of Disease: An Introduction to Clinical Medicine 5th edition (17 megs), Pathophysiology of Disease: An Introduction to Clinical Medicine 5th edition (35 megs), Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics 18th edition (219 megs) just to some of the books I've used with Kchmviewer.

There are a few of those where it might take like 2 minutes to completely load, but once it does, the app is super zippy, though there is no portrait mode.

And yeah, FBreader can't handle any of these from what I remember.

Anyway, congrats on receiving your first thanks here in this forum!

But try to earn your next one. *lol*

Peace.
