Book readers: FBReader or AnyView?

[andyydna]

Gentlemen,

I haven't tried any of these applications yet, but before trying I would like to know if they support page specific bookmarks?

Meaning, presently I use browser/html to read my documents; but say I have to abort the reading, then there is no way to go back to the page / paragraph I was reading and its really frustrating to scroll back to page trying to find where you left off the last time

Cheers, Andy

FBReader. Period.

Wow! This is exaclty what I was looking for, meets all my needs. Thanks for the reco. xetaman. A native app too.

FBReader is a lovely app. I changed the colors with black background / grey text and its just so easy on eyes, hoot if you are reading in dark.

Is there any app which can read the text for me? I thought the talking phone app already present in the phone could be straight away used, but there doesn't seem to be away to make it read html docs.

you can try Moto text although it only reads text files

Yea, best part is that it's wonderful to read ebooks on it. totally doesnt strain your eyes (easy zooming), and you can just read it on a bus, train, whatever.

hi, i tried fbreader and it is really good for reading ebooks. what i wanted to know, is there any way to use fbreader for pdf books or is there any way to convert these pdf books to some other format on the phone itself

[xetaman]

No sir, sorry about that. FB wont read pdf. And i doubt there's a pdf to html or rtf convertor that'll work on the phone itself.

I just do it on a comp and transfer it to the phone on a monthly basis or so. Like "okay, these 3 books for this month".

thanx for the information xetaman, brother i would like to know how you convert it on the computer?
