image The Android incarnation of FBReader, which can handle ePub among other formats, now has “more Androidish scrolling,” according to Freshmeat, which is offering downloads.

Also see the FBReader site for the latest on FBReaderJ, the Android version. “In future releases the list will be extended to support the same formats as the original FBReader. Direct reading from zip, tar and grip archives is supported.”

While cheering on FBReader, I’m also wondering when Stanza will make it to the Android phones.

If I were Lexcycle, Stanza’s developers, I would regard Android development as a at least a partial precaution against possible future moves by Apple to get in on the software action.
