The desktop reader is on version 0.12,2 now, I think. The fbreader versions on PB are all based on an earlier version 0.08.sthg. It has to do with a speed issue, if I understood right. Mobi is also a lot more beautiful on the desktop reader.

PB FBReader is based on 0.8.15
I've tried to port 0.12.1 but it's very unstable on PB. FBReader never was the correct HTML/CSS renderer. And I think it will never be. HTML/CSS is supported fragmentary, only to get readable content. Quote:

So if for some reason I dislike newer version (which I truly doubt) do I just paste original version into system/bin as I did with fbreader180 to replace version that is now on my pb360. |

How About FBReader on 301?
I wonder if my 301 has the superior ebReader.app file discussed in this thread? If not can I use the 360 fbReader file designed for the 360?. I know it doesn't have an accelerometer.I can only select 4 orientations. That's OK. If the answer is yes! I can use the fbReader files designed for the 360, I think I need much more info about how to install it and/or how to edit it so it can be used for my 301. I looked here on the forum but didn't find it. [the Goggle God was unhappy with me] Here is info about what I have now on my 301. I have SW W301.15.1 [I assume that means Ver 15.1] When I looked for the config files that everyone was talking about; those files that will be changed/replaced by the new fbreader.app file for 360, I did not see anything like that in my 301's system folder. My folder /system/config only has 4 folders /fbReader.cfg /global.cfg /handlers.cfg /styles.xml /system/config/bin is empty, /SYSTEM/config/fbReader.cfg contains the following files: " border=1 encoding=auto font=default,25 hyphenations=1 linespacing=100 loadimages=1 preformatted=0". /System/config/global.cfg contains the following [I have not listed all the "key...." files here.] "antialiasing=1 bootlogo=@snapshot ctime=1271457120 firstchange=0 font=LiberationSerif font.b=LiberationSerif-Bold font.bi=LiberationSerif-BoldItalic font.i=LiberationSerif-Italic imgquality=1 invertupdate=1 keeporient=0 key.10.0=@KA_menu I have omitted many of the "key." files here. key.power=@KA_lrusThen the following entries close out this "global.cfg" file. They are: key.power2=@KA_none keyboard=EN-RU-UA keylock=0 language=en listview=0 offlogo=@logo_none openlastbook=1 orientation=1 poweroff=1 restorecfg= showclock=0 sort=0 sortdir=1 theme=default timeformat=1 timezone=America/New_York" /system/handlers.cfg only has a reference to the book I am reading. Styles.xml has a list of 30+ style definitions. It refers to a "base family=Georgia" There are some formatting choices that FBReader.app supports that will make my reading a bit more pleasant. I was an early adopter of Sony's 500. I loved it. I got used to a 6" screen so I bought another 6" screen reader. I am now reading my first book. |

If I'm not wrong someone asked it already. Yes, you can use the FBReader mod in the 301 as well, though it obviously won't support the buttonless page turning since it has no G-sensor. In the same way, the PB360 supports MP3 files to play, though it has no audio jack. But the firmware capability is there, since it's the same for both readers.

Great I Will Try It-THANKS
Quote:
I think I understand somewhat how to install it. My factory configured 301 is set up differently than the 360 install. It seems safe enough to try it. Many thanks. One of the reasons I bought it was the support from the Pocketbook user community. |

Version 0.8.3
* configuration dialog was restructured, some items were moved to submenu "Advanced settings" * added border mode "custom" and individual settings for page margins in "Advanced settings" * fixed 15.1 firmware incompatibility |

is there a wiki somewhere that shows what all the settings do? While I can glean the majority of settings but not all. Anything out there floating around?
