Freda Ebook Reader Updated

Posted February 23, 2010 at 2:00 pm by WenWM

Freda’s Ebook reader was the first of its kind when originally released, it recently received an update in order to keep up with HTC’s new reader. The update brings new features that enhance the overall user experience and especially enhances the smoothness and transition from page to page.

The program is called ‘Freda’ – short for ‘free reader’, since it is free software (both in the sense of ‘free beer’, as I am not charging for it, and in the sense of ‘free speech’, as I am licensing my code under the GPL).

Main new features:

CSS Style sheets are recognised

Controls/gestures can be customised

Line spacing, indent and justification can be customised

Bookmarks and annotations are provided

Dictionary look-up is implemented (using SlovoEd)

Happy reading!
