Merge with FBReader or peruse code?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

First of all: I love your App. One of the main Features I asked of the
iPhone was to support ebook reading.

However the ebook application from my Nokia 770 (which I dumped because of
the iPhone) had some features that I miss now: (swiftly) handling large
files and (very) good performance for the on the rather weak Nokia
770(compared to the iPhone).

As FBReader is under the GNU GPL I suppose it would make sense to merge
this project with fbreader or peruse some of the code.

The projects homepage is found here:
http://www.fbreader.org/about.php

Cheers

Andreas

I just noticed I should have filed that under enhancement rather than defect 
but I
can't change it any more.

Marking this as dupe to the request to support fictionbook2 (fb2) format.  Dupe 
of
issue #67

I hubly disagree to that. Issue #67 refers to the support of fb format.
Even though the name fbreader indicates the fb-format it is not dogmatic about 
formats:
http://www.fbreader.org/docs/formats.php
* It runs on a lot of interesting platforms (most of them linux-based) including
android. (from a superficial look it seems portable)
* Large one piece (txt, HTML, etc) files are opened quickly and stable without 
the
need of splitting them.
* It remembers the last visited position for every file, so you can read 
several book
in parallel without alsways searching where you left off. (The ipod funktion of 
the
iphone unfortunately also doesn't support that.)

I think it'll pe ported anyway once the SDK is finally out.

+1 porting the fbreader would be the best choice for iphone users. But this is 
not
iphonebooks issue. I think porting of the application is an application itself 
issue
i.e. fbreader.
