Hello, I discovered Freda yesterday as I was looking for a program to read ebooks in my Xperia X1 (WM 6.1); I have used until now Microsoft Reader (not officially supported in WM), with all the problems derived from the proprietary format, so I figured that it was time to switch to an standard format like e-pub, even if that means converting my library. So I installed Calibre and googled for e-pub readers for WM, Freda was the first result I got, so I installed it (copying and running the .cab as I run Ubuntu and syncing doesn't install programs AFAIK), converted some e-books and loaded them, and it works flawlessly.

One of the features that I like is rotation override: the Xperia X1 has a slider keyboard, if you open it (even a few milimeters), the screen rotates, and if there is an open app like Microsoft Reader, with a book maybe 2000 pages long, when you take it out of the pocket it takes a while to re-paginate; with Freda I can override rotation to 0º and get rid of the problem.

So, thank you for this nice program, and for help me to find this community to talk about e-books. Be kind with my spelling mistakes, english is not my first or even second language.
