I downloaded the Gentium fonts (thanks to RobertB and guys!). Starting to play with it. On my first glance it looks like fb2 does not recognize it...

Dear Irenas:

I will talk with the factory. Dale tells me the FB2 version on the Pocket PRO is about a year old. Everything else is fresh. I would like to see this brought current as so many love FB2.

hmmm... i am confused.
According to FAQ on EzReader website, the installed fonts will only display on DOC and TXT files?
Most of my e-books are in epub and fb2 format, so i just assumed i have to stick to supplied font types... Am i wrong?

I am trying to figure it out... I installed about 5 different fonts, all truetype. I see them in the "settings" and can change default font. When i am reading my book, which is in fb2 format , and want to change fonts- if i press settings, i see only 2 fonts- Arial and TimesNewRoman and can only switch between two of them.
Does it make sense?

Dear SmartyPants:

The part of the FAQ sheet about font style changes came from Jinke. They say you can only add fonts on word and txt. I am not sure why that is the case... so I will go back to Jinke and see why this is the case and what can be done. Dale DePriest would likely be better able to answer this question, maybe Wallcraft. Let me see specifically about a way to do this with FB2.

Thank you. This is a good question that will help us all!!

Just leave it alone. It is not for you independent use. It is used by the ADE software when you read the book.

The Digital Editions folder can be used to keep eBooks in but you should not use the annotations subfolder. The Digital Editions folder is where ADE on a PC or Mac will put the eBooks it downloads to the device.

I am still deciding on what format i like better. fb2 vs epub.
I like that fb2 has page#/pages and the ruler on the screen, as well as the clock. In
epub i need to press big button to see what page i am in. But it looks like the text formatting itself is better in epub. Also, epub has search option, but i am not sure how useful it is.
