E-book reader for Sailfish OS.
The core functionality is based on FBReader source code with a few modifications. In theory, it should be able to handle all E-book formats supported by FBReader. Books are imported from the ~/Downloads
folder, where they are saved by the browser or email client. Alternatively, you can manually copy your books to the ~/Documents/Books
directory. Removable storage (SD-card) is supported as well. Switch between SD-card and internal memory by flicking left and right. Use volume keys, swipe or touch to turn the pages.
This is pretty much a copy of the Jolla Store version, except that settings are moved from the app's pulley menu to the Settings → Applications grid.

Your file doesn't seem to be utf-8 encoded. There's a problem with accented characters. Can you somehow save it as utf-8?
(never mind, it seems to be in CP819, I was able to convert it myself)

Good idea. And it shouldn't be hard to implement.

A few other people also mentioned to me this Transifex thing, so I decided to give it a try. I honestly spent couple hours on it, couldn't get it to work correctly with numerus forms and gave up.
Specifically, I played with the Russian translation. First, it failed to parse the existing translations for numerus forms. Then it insisted on having 4 numerus forms for Russian plurals even though Russian only has 3 forms. Then I received an email from them hinting that it's just a free trial. No, thanks.
I'm glad to accept translations as pull requests on github. Here is the English source:

I wrote it down so that I don't forget:

No ETA though. I've got plenty of other things that I would also like to be done.

An advanced option that would be useful is the function to bookmark and add notes to the selected text.

Have you considered adding cbr/cbz support?

When/if I have time, although I have to admit these are not high on my priority list. I would probably do fb3 first.

Using it from Jolla Store since first release, amazing to know it's here now too! The best SFOS E-reader.
