		<description>While I&#039;m about 2 years late to the party, I want to say thanks for this informative article... what a difference it has made!  FBReader&#039;s setup options are not very intuitive, but understanding them is critical to making it a great E-Book reading experience.... which it now is for me on my Sharp Netwalker.   The secret is to understand that those two little obscure arrows on the title bar of the setup screen allow you access to a lot of different setup options that aren&#039;t displayed on the initial screen - and they are VERY easily over-looked.  When you figure this out, FBReader becomes a great reader!</description>

		<description>David, thanks so much for posting this! I was driving myself crazy trying to figure out how to scroll by whole screens. Why don&#039;t they make stuff like this a little more intuitive???</description>

		<description>Ellen and Paul: Big thanks, both of you!

E.: Delighted to do a PDF, and I hope you&#039;ll feel very free to print it out and spread it around for noncommercial purposes, as long as it&#039;s clear that folks hope to refine it. Yes, you can enlarge the type. Just follow the instructions for remapping zoom key off to the side--the + and the - stuff. You can also change the type size within one of the  tab-style menus. I believe it&#039;s the style one.

P. Yes, from what I can tell, this should more or less apply to the N800, but I am concerned there might be nuances I&#039;m overlooking. One little difference, which might take time to ferret out, is how much the remapping will stick. There are certain trouble keys, as I&#039;ll call them, on the 770. Still, I think you&#039;ll find the remapping to be well worth the time. You were one of the people who, in effect, prodded me to write the post. I remember your concern about ergonomics issues. While the Nokia still isn&#039;t as light as the Palm TX and even after the key remaps can&#039;t replace the TX scrolling button in ease of use, it&#039;s a &lt;em&gt;much&lt;/em&gt; better e-book machine than without the changes. And of course the screen is nicer than the TX&#039;s.

Thanks.

		<description>This is very useful.  I have both the 770 and the 800 and there is very little, if any, difference that I can find between them in anything that has been posted above.</description>

		<description>Thanks David,

The info for key settings was exactly what I needed.  I would never have figured this out.  Could you put these tips in pdf form?  I would love to be able to keep this info.  I guess I could just copy and paste it...

Can I change font size?  Sometimes I wish I could make it bigger because it&#039;s hard to see.  Or will bold do this?
