Reminder: Try out Dov’s FBReader line-spacing fix if you own an XO

By David Rothman

dov-olpc Dov’s eager for the world to try out his FBR line-spacing fix. I have, now, and can say the tweaked 0.8.12 works just great. I had to remap the paging keys and others when I installed the new FBReader; also, my keyboard arrow for scrolling works different. Hey, no big deal. Thanks again for your work on this, Dov!

Related: The OLPC laptop as a promising school and library machine—with quick Opera and FBReader installation instructions—as well as updated info on obtaining FBReader for installation by the easier RPM method.

Housekeeping: The post with a few more XO e-reading tips, including the issue of PDF vs. FBR, might come late tonight.

Site news: Yep, Robert and I know that speed is subpar—he’ll be working on the problem.
