Just thought I'd mention that the fbreader .pet, above, includes the required linebreak library.

Please update to last version, because this bug has been solved:

A conflict between hyperlink clicks and touch scrolling has been fixed.

Thanks in advance,

José Pinto

I have converted this .pet into ch-fbreader-0.10.5-i486.sfs (usr=puppy, passwd=linux) for use in ChoicePup4.1.2 or any other Puppy4.xx.

Great program and good book download links.

Thanks, J

umm, this version says that liblzcore.so.0.10 is missing. I had this program working before I reinstalled puppy, but I think it was 0.10.5. Is this a bug or have I done something stupid? I'm using puppy 4.1.2 if that makes any dffernce.

@bob_v5,

I've reuploaded it with the missing symlinks added.

cheers, works well now. The new version even seems to display my books better. Which is odd as nothing like that is mentoned on the FBReader news page... Perhaps I imagined it due to my brain melting from the many hours I spent trying to fix somethng on a more mainstream but strangly badly documented distro.
Ah well. Thanks again.

I've uploaded the latest beta, v0.11.0.

its somewhat strange that if you look at the formats on this page http://www.fbreader.org/docs/formats.php that most of the common formats aren't support and the more exotic formats are, what a strange reader this is, but I guess It closes the gaps that abiword and epdfviewer left open.
But still I think they should fully support chm,djvu, and of course full pdf.
