Rather than begin a new thread, and call possibly undue further attention to my plight and frustration, let me add the following thoughts:
OpenInkpot is a wonderful and highly successful endeavor, though still evolving yet arguably coming ever closer to virtual perfection. But it is apparently the only porting for FBReader to BeBook and other HanLin readers. I can download from the FBReader site adaptations for the Windows PC, for the Nokia N800 (which I have used for years) and the iLiad ebook reader. All those portings (which I've checked) contain and offer the full range of FBReader formatting preferences (including variable spacing BETWEEN paragraphs). In my ignorance I fail to understand why OI is unable to offer the same. I know that's it's not simply a matter of copying the FBReader source code, but others have apparently done it successfully. I wish I myself were qualified to pitch in and do so myself. OpenInkpot would become my only ebook reading firmware if only this matter could be resolved. My appreciation, though, for the ongoing efforts of the OI team is ALMOST boundless.
