Screenshots of previous versions

Description:
FictionBook Reader is a simple and easy application for reading fb2, epub and txt books on Windows Phone 7.
The application can download books from your SkyDrive, Dropbox storage or OPDS directories.
Technical limitations:
Windows Phone 7 does not have a memory card. There is no way to access the contents of the file system.
Therefore, fb2 reader cannot read files that have been downloaded to the phone, bypassing the standard tools.

Can you change the background color?

Go to the settings, slide on the second page (right) and there isforegroundandbackground- respectively, the color of the font and background.
You can only choose from seven colors, but I am sure the author will quickly "fix" it in the next versions.

[NatRicK]

why not make the Russian interface language, m?);) In my opinion, this is a great idea, I think)))

Yes, you can change the background color and text color.

The idea has already been voiced. I have already begun work in this direction.

[_agent_007_]

it would also be useful to implement support for opds directories.

http://opds-spec.org/about/

this will enable searching and downloading books directly from online libraries (flibusta, lib.rus.ec, etc.)

[vleschenko]

_agent_007_ @ 10/05/2011, 15:54

http://opds-spec.org/about/

Thanks for the tip. I promise to add support.

Version 1.4 has been tested and is in the process of being published.

THANKS TO THE AUTHOR! I bought, I'm waiting for the functionality expansion in the next versions, a few words that I would like to
There are about 500 small FB2 files in the dropbox, something needs to be done in order to be able to put the daws and they would automatically download; there is also the problem of duplicates, when you accidentally download and install a book that already exists, then a second copy appears in the telephone library; There is a lack of sorting books, first by author, then by title of the work, this is if everything is in a heap, but, in my opinion, it would be more optimal to display only authors clicking on which the list of each works would open, and at the top of the list of authors we could say the last three to display works regardless of authorship, something of the type chosen, so as not to climb

By the way, if I suddenly looked for an API for SkyDrive and someone gives a link to the working assembly, I will be very grateful.

But this is not it?

This is "it", however, it appeared "this" quite recently. More precisely, it was presented at the build conference.

New version released: 1.4

[savagemessiahzine.comcher]

update did not save settings with library
I think at 1.2 there was a clock on the right above, now there are none and it has become uncomfortable to read when you are waiting for something

Post has been editedsavagemessiahzine.comcher - 08.10.11, 20:19

Reason for editing: added a clock

[vleschenko]

savagemessiahzine.comCher @ 10/08/2011, 19:58

I think at 1.2 there was a clock at the top right

in the process of reading this was not before.

in version 1.5 it will be possible to configure. Sorry, there is a problem.

[NatRicK]

Download in the background. And then when the screen turns off, the download of the books says the error and comes to the download and select again. Also, when you look at books in dropbox and when you look at them in the download list, do it so that the names would be transferred to 2-3 lines, otherwise the author and a little name fit into one line. and when books from one series are alike, the titles are similar, and the differences can only be in the last word ...

[vleschenko]

NatRicK @ 10.10.2011, 04:31

... download in the background.

I hurried with the Mango version. I repent, as always guilty ...

NatRicK @ 10.10.2011, 04:31

... so that the names are transferred to at least 2-3 lines

I’ll see what I can do ... I just have a library very well prepared. There is no such problem.

In version 1.5, it will be possible to enable text alignment on both sides of the screen.

However, I want to remind you that this contributes to an uneven increase in the width of the gap, which makes the eyes move less smoothly.
And this in turn leads to a decrease in the speed of reading and an increase in the voltage on the eyes themselves.
Therefore, I really do not recommend enabling this option. But if you really really want, please.

[stetzen]

epub support planned? Because the format is now quite common (especially for non-Russian books).

[NatRicK]

Stetzen @ 10.10.2011, 22:08

2.0.0.0 (planned)
Support SkyDrive storage;
Support for the epub format of books.

vleschenko @ 09/27/2011, 02:12

2.0.0.0 (planned)

• Support SkyDrive storage;
  
• Support for the epub format of books.
  

[vleschenko]

I posted a document in general, which contains a description of future versions. As a rule, there is information about what will be in the next version.
It lies here:https://skydrive.live.com/view.aspx?cid=7FE...DB06F4CF9%21363

Here is a link to my blog:http://www.vitaliy.org/Node/View/163
There I also keep the information relevant.

[mailwl]

size Extra Large is still not large enough on Mozart, is it possible to increase it even more? Slightly less than capital letters in the current ExLarge, and preferably wider than letters?
-
For example, on my iPod, I read the font Helvetica, 22.
Gaps of different widths do not interfere with reading (at the bottom of the screen).

I would also like to press the UPPER LEFT corner to rewind the page forward (the left thumb for left-handers gets there).

[breza]

Are there any backlight controls in the plans? I think if you make this lotion then the number of people who want to use this reader will increase !!

[Hobbitru]

tobreza,
In a blog, Vitaly responded as follows: "The brightness level can be changed by selecting the text color and background. At the moment, the program has a limited number of colors, but I plan to allow myself to choose the colors."
I put a gray background, read more pleasant but still not the same. In Reedu, by the way, this is done, which means there are some api. Hope to see this feature in todo soon.

[mailwl]

Adjusting the brightness, background color and font is all unnecessary. No, if it is, fine, but!
As I see for myself the perfect reader:
1) 2 profiles - day (black on white) / night (gray on black)
2) a large font so that the eyes do not get tired in any kind of shaking bus / train, the text is filled at both edges.
3) for new books, in no case do not reset the "default" settings - everything should look the same as for previous books.
4) do not use extraneous colors for any Italics and other text selections - so that it does not work outyellowon white for example
5) I already wrote about management (it is necessary to take into account left-handers), yet, for this particular program, slow page turning is a bit annoying, perhaps you can get used to it, but I would like reactivity, in fact, page turning looks sad.

I can't describe everything, but there is no limit to perfection.

there the left thumb for left-handers falls

i am left handed. however, outside it is much more convenient to turn the pages with a “gesture”. he is equally easy to do with his left and right hands.
as for the alignment of the text, then it is necessary to make hyphens do them just like that (without melting), I do not want. so when they appear, they will take into account the rules of the transfer of Russian and English languages.

as for gestures. At the moment I do not plan to change something here.

slide left / right ->page turning forward / backward.
tap left ->page went to the right.
Tap on the right ->page left left.
tap in the center ->menu display.

slide down / up - it is planned to change the brightness of the background (for a light theme) or text (for a dark theme). themes are also planned accordingly

In my opinion (plus a small statistic) these are the most convenient gestures.
