Perfect, but i am not able to set charset windows-1250 in documents with czech. Will it be possible in future?? I tried all formats and charset, but without any effect.
ReplyDeleteThanks you!
Please upgrade your app on Market..
ReplyDeleteThe lastest release supports windows-1250
Thanks,
ReplyDeleteencoding is now OK.
But i have one more question. Exist any option for continual text like in a FBReader or JJReader.
If exist PalmBookReader will be my favourite reader for android.
Thanks
PalmBookReader will remember the lastest position of the book you read. When you open the book again, it will show the latest position you read....
ReplyDeleteAre you mean this?
No,
ReplyDeleteI mean fluently text no buttons next page and previous page.
Only status on left side like in FBReader
http://www.fbreader.org/FBReaderJ/
I think that it is not possible now, but in future maybe...
Thanks
does`t support "search" and copy & paste button
ReplyDeletethanks
Very handy app!
ReplyDeleteJust a suggestion:
When you use the track ball to scroll to the end of the page. Is it possible for the track ball to highlite the prev or next button? This is so you don't need to use the touch screen to flip the page.
Thanks.
Hi,nexsus
ReplyDeletethanks for your suggestion, I'll try to do this in the next upgrade....
Thanks for the upgrade! This makes it easier to read on the subway.

So, Android supports .pdb files in general? I've searched everywhere, with no luck. I'm now using an offline travel guide with starting/arrival times of my trains and buses. This program is extremely crucial to me... Would it work on an Android phone?
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance!
No, You need to parse .pdb by yourself. This app is open source. You can visit the page and get the source.

I am used to take notes directly from the book i am reading. Do you have any plans to add a copy function?
ReplyDeleteSearch would also make it a lot more useful.
Between the iPhone 3Gs and Nexus One I didn't notice that much of a performance difference, but there is a difference. Between the older iPhone and iTouch devices there is a HUGE boost.
ReplyDeleteDoes it read plucker format.
ReplyDeleteNo...it does not support plucker format...
ReplyDeleteLove the app. Really needs a sleep timer. When i fall asleep reading the screen drains my batery and my alarm doesn' t go on in the morning!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work
could accelerometer technology can be included in this kind
ReplyDeleteI am very new to Android but have many pdb files left from my Centro. But I am confused. I installed the reader and moved it to SD card. Then I downloaded 2 books from chuggnutt. I can not see them in Android. When I connect to PC using USB I see them in a folder named download. I do not know where to move them so they will appear in the list in Android.
ReplyDeleteHi, Albertson
ReplyDeleteYou should sync sd then you will see it on the list.
In first page of PalmbookReader and press menu->Sync SD->All PDB
I can see my Palm Books on the list after sync, along with text files. Text files will open. Books do not open even though they are on the list. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Bro,
ReplyDeletepalmbookreader is realy great app. Was using Haali reader on my WM6.1 mobile, but after migration to Android, PBR is my favorite. I only missing possibility to open single file via "Open/find location" hope you know what I mean. And charset changes should be applied also for the file names. :)
This app is really interesting and hope it will run smoothly with latest Os Updates.
