I see the 360 have hyphenation. Is that FbReader ? ADE ? Both ?

How well are the css dealt with ?
Yes, the hyphenation works on FBReader for all the formats read by FBReader! CSS is ignored in FBReader. Instead your own configuration is used!

That's well, less cool.

And what about ADE page number ?

ADE does of course have page numbers. FBReader doesn't display them because - well, it's not ADE .

I mean, page number when you use ade
They force you to have an outragously large margin, or overlaps on text usually.

Yes, ADE has the usual page numbers. And, unfortunately, the Pocketbook does not appear to use the margins specified in the book, so they do overlap the text. It's not a major problem, but it is slightly annoying.

Our member SciFiFan has compiled his own version of FBReader. It has page turning by use of accelerometer, it has page break before chapter, and ... drum-roll ... it has hyphenation only for words at least 8 characters long.

And I love the zero status bar mode.
As soon as I found out how to make FBreader the default for epub I jumped on it. I had my fill of ADE forcing stuff down my throat on my Hanlin v3.

Yes I am a big fan of FBReader, just got it all set up nicely with the font I like best so far (Andika Basic, TTF from my Win PC) and is such a comfortable read with my .epub files.

I like to look at the status bar periodically to get an idea for where I am in the book - ie how much more I have to read. But otherwise I like to press a button and have it hidden away so I can focus just on the text itself.

In case anyone else wants to know, hiding the status bar can be done via:

Menu | Settings | Key Mapping | Appearance | Hide Panel

Assign this to a button and when in FBReader use it to show/hide the status bar at will.

But you don't "gain" any additional space for the text by doing so.

I am so impressed with the FBReader I must say, it really works great.

But what I like the most is that 1. I can bookmark my books with one click (I used the keymap function to allocate the bookmarking to one key) 2. I can keymap any button 3. I have epub as well as prc files, and it is just so comfortable to be able to read both on the same reader without any problem. Speaking of which, I opened a DJVu file with the pb yesterday, and it displayed it perfectly. I am just soooooo impressed !!!

I do - I gain a whole line of text which appears right at the bottom when I switch my status bar off.

Maybe it is dependent on page settings. I have font size 34, line spacing 100 and page margins set to small. It seems to work with all the different fonts I try to, although I use Andika Basic at the moment.
