Recent commentsHow about SVG support?
FBreader works great with my new 10" netbook, the combo makes a great ebook reader! Thanks!
Re: Blackberry support
In principle it is possible to create a Blackberry version of
FBReader (or of FBReaderJ, the Java FBReader clone).
The only problem is I live in Russia and Blackberry is not
usable in my country so I cannot test such version.
Blackberry support
Are there plans for Blackberry support? I love this reader on my eeepc, and would like it on my phone as well.
Brilliant, Thanks
I have to say, the zipped fictionbook format and this reader has won me over. Simple, effective and open. I hope it catches on like wildfire.
