Misha,

I'm impressed with everything the FBReader has. On the Maemo developer list is information about adding fonts to the system, so I will be quite happy when I can install the font that I prefer to read text in.

The formats that people have requested seem all to come from the Palm world, but there's no Plucker Viewer for Windows, for instance, and I think this Palm orientation must leave out a lot of titles. I think MS Reader and Mobipocket formats are ruled out because of their proprietary nature, but you might want to look at eReader.

On a feature checklist of e-book readers, you have many features already checked off: fonts, rotation, place marker, library. I know you're planning bookmarks, which are essential. I think, too, that highlighting and annotation ought to be considered essential features for a complete e-book reader. I hope you will consider adding them.

Thank you,

Roger
