Scaling ePub books - are settings available ?

Eddie · 05-16-2010, 09:54 AM

I have a bunch of epub books, and a common issue - the tiniest font is too small, the next one displayed when I tap "up" on the D-Pad is too big. Can I change the scaling up settings ?
Thanks !

Use THIS FBReader there is a Step width adjustment avail
I set mine to a step width of 2

Instructions how to Install are included.

Now if only I could figure out where are those configuration options...

LATER EDIT: Found them. It's just that I didn't know there are two "readers" available (Adobe and FB) and that I need to choose FB as default.

Okay in the book opens a quick menu. Down on the right side there is the configuration menu. Hope that helps. If not, please ask again.

Last question: how do I make FBreader default instead of AdobeReader ?

LATER EDIT: For now, I hacked the extensions.cfg file inside the FBreader install archive and simply removed all the "fbreader180.app, " references (I simply copied the system folder over the old one, as instructed). So far, it works.

U could also take the Config file from THIS Thread (First post)

It has all the settings for FBReader and the Adobereader (as second choice for PDF), so its pre-configured in the correct way.
