Any hints? I've just been killing it from the home view, but that gets rid of all my font/margin settings.

When it didn't work for me, I just went to <a href="http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/7/i386/" rel="nofollow">the parent location</a> in my desktop browser, then grabbed the current FBReader package name, giving me http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/7/i386/fbreader-0.8.10-1.fc7.i386.rpm I did a little work on making an activity to launch FBReader last week; I took the Opera activity and modified it, but I have a problem that it creates two icons -- one for the activity which is blank and another unnamed one for FBReader. It's usable that way, but after quiting FBReader, you have to manually stop the original activity. I also had to do some configuration of font sizes; making the leading 200% fixed a lot of overlap, but that feels like a workaround rather than a true fix.
