Mobipocket V4.9 released

Alexander Turcic · 06-25-2005, 01:39 PM

Mobipocket Reader has been updated to Version 4.9. The upgrade of the Pro version is free for 4.8, 4.7, 4.6 and 4.5 licensed Reader Pro users. What's new:

Support of VGA screens and full compatibility with Windows Mobile 2003 SE
More complete support of JavaScript and support for ASP and RW databases
Auto-scrolling stops where you are instead of jumping to the next page
Setup program for PalmOS devices is simpler (no need to specify resolution or colors)
Rendering of frames in content is faster
Various bug fixes

Thanks to Jason for the heads up!

Bit disappointing tho´
Unless I'm doing something wrong I'm not all that impressed with the way the new update displays the fonts especially in comparison with e-Reader or even pocket informant.
I use Venetian 301 (a Centaur True Type clone) or Berling antiqua - these fonts look amazing in VGA - but not really with the Mobipocket update...

Greg, these two fonts you mention look really pretty. I am afraid they are not available for free, are they?

Alexander,
I think the berling font was installed together with Microsoft Reader.
If you've installed Reader on your PC it might be there.
Berling was created by created by Karl-Erik Forsberg and to my mind a Swedish export easily on par with SAAB or Volvo.
Not sure if Venetian (centaur) is free or not... can't figure out how to send attachments in private messages - if you send me a private message with your e-mail adress I'll send the TT files to you for 'testing'
Cheers, Greg
