Convert it to one of the supported formats

According to bookeen's website, F2b is supported with firmware 2.1.
What happens you don't see the files at all ?

I'll see if I can find a f2b files somewhere to test.

WELL aware of the supported formats.... The website says it supports it... The library shows the fb2 format however when I open it only has a link to table and it lists the page numbers. When I try to advance to the next page it crashes and goes back to the library..

I was just hoping for fb2...I like the format..

Your particular fb2 seams to have a problem.
Try installing fbreader on you PC see if fb reader can read it.
You could also try a fb2 to fb2 conversion in calibre.

Oops, sorry, I guess I either missed it when it was added or have a short-term memory

What do you mean, is there some function missing ?

for the PB360 and Hanlin V5 you can do a lot of options in changing the layout and design of the text, spacing, fonts, etc....

Oh I see.
Maybe you could try and ask bookeen. Though I guess they would have other priorities.
