Since I did it, I also modified the source to enable two-column view in portrait mode also: if the i86 ain't big enough for that...

Please rename the file, removing the final '.zip' (that was needed to upload it)

You can install it with a standard
Code:
adb -d install FBReaderJ_ice-cream-sandwich_ALT.apk
after having enabled debugging in the settings.
I am sure there must be other ways: copying it in the memory and opening through the device should do...

Please note that FBReader has by default a grained texture set as a background wallpaper: it is just sensible on an EPD display to disable it; please go in
(menu) > Settings > Colours n Wallpapers > Background
and set it to 'Solid Colour'.
Do not forget to do it: you may not notice it immediately on greyscale

Also note: you can install your chosen fonts and have FBReader use them; default path is /mnt/sdcard/Fonts (you can find and edit the default paths in the Settings, first option row)

Enjoy!





Cheers for this, but when installed, settings & onboard file browser are a blank screen & the app refuses to go fullscreen, so it's impossible to change any settings or load any books, or view fullscreen....
