I would like to know if it's possible to set a custom home page for the web browser app for FW 5.x. I found the following code from an older thread, and placed it in /applications/name.app but it only launches with an error:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
exec /ebrmain/bin/webbrowser.sh -platform PocketBook http://www.mayersche.de

Also, would be great to know how the web browser is reading fonts. My local library allows reading ebooks from a web browser, and this works pretty OK on TL3 except that, instead of a sans-serif font, it displays a serif font. This works fine on desktop browsers. I see that the page's css file refers to a font called Inter. I placed this in /system/fonts/ but the browser still displays a serif font.

1. Desktop browser

2. Pocketbook browser

These are really quite minor things but would make my reading more enjoyable, and in the end less tempted to buy a new and better device.

(It has lasted me 4 years already, let's see if I can make it 5!)
