With FBReader by Geometer Plus and Nokia N9 you don’t need
a special e-book reader to access your library of digital books. Thanks to a great black and white contrast
given by the amazing AMOLED display, it’s very enjoyable to read on a N9.
FBReader is fast, highly customizable and has inbuilt access to
several online libraries. We tell you what makes this application so good, how to get new reading material and import commercial formats, like Amazon Kindle books.
What FBReader offers
The application supports many different book formats,
including ePub, fb2, mobi, chm, html and plain text. PDF documents seem not to
be supported, but everyone who already used an e-book reader knows that PDF files
aren’t very convenient to use this way.
Using FBReader is a joy, it’s very fast and easy to use -
pages can be switched by tapping the right or left side of the screen or by using volume buttons. Since the application is highly
customizable it will fit any preferences of readers. Thus you can choose from many fonts or switch
between a so called day&night-mode.

Customization
Pretty much everything can be customized on FBReader.
Around 60 fonts are available in any size and style. Each sections like book
title, chapter titles, main text etc. are changeable with fonts, line spacing
and alignment.
Other options are different colors (font and background),
margins, the way progress in reading is shown or how you prefer to scroll. Does
that leave any wishes open? I happily say no…

Book sources
FBReader offers many ways to import books:
-Use mass-storage mode to drag&drop books on your N9
-Transfer via Bluetooth
-Integrated network libraries of FBReader
The inbuilt network library access is amazing! The application comes
with 9 pre-installed book sources and it’s very easy to find books with the included search function. Of course you
can add any of your favorite sources (OPDS catalogues). The con is, that you
can’t buy any books or add commercial libraries like Amazon or Thalia. Only an application
published by those companies could do that. Still, there is a huge amount of
famous books freely available, especially older ones from authors like Jules
Vernes or H. G. Wells.
