FBReader: An E-Book reader
http://www.fbreader.org/about.php
This is a reader for ebooks. I've uploaded it here: fbreader-0.12.8.pet or here. (1833kbytes).
It also needs liblinebreak.so.1, which is available from Aragon's .pet here.
To run, Menu->Document->E-book reader
Links to ebook sites here:

N.B. This is the latest beta version

There is no /usr/bin/FBReader installed on my system. There is no /usr/bin/FBReader present in the .pet package that I downloaded. Rather odd.
The only files present in the .pet package are /usr/share/FBReader and /usr/share/zlibrary folders with contents. There are no other files included in the package.

No problem. I figured it had to be something along those lines because you are very reliable with building packages. I do not need it right away (and if I did I would have done it myself). I just grabbed it because the most recent releases have additional features including the ability to conduct a search and download books from inside the application.Hello dawnsboy,
woops! I just remembered the upload was quite sporadic...due to intermittent connection...bear with me & i'll re-upload 2morro.
cheers
Thanks for making that package available.

Ah, thank you!
The older 0.8.17 release was running fine here in Puppy, but it's nice to have the newer one.
I think FBReader is the only application that actually uses the linebreak library added in the 0.10.x versions, it isn't included in the FBReader distro, and the only place I could find it was a source archive.
I have a large number of books in Plucker format (about 3,200), and a growing collection of Mobipocket titles, so it's nice to be able to read them in Puppy as well as on my PDA.

Please update to 0.10.7
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,

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
