As a person which occasionally read ebooks on my Symbian-powered handset, I also, like Dotsisx, used the MobiReader. Seeing the issues of the ceasing of development for this ebook reader is also one of the reasons why I’ve never bought a book from the Mobipocket Store however much I’ve been tempted.
Well putting that aside, there is a new kid in town and it’s called ZXReader. For one, it fixes the main problem that Mobireader faced on touch handsets from Nokia – being forced to uninstall and reinstall the application when going into fullscreen mode. Secondly, it offers a wider range of customization such as if you want a function triggered when pressing a specified portion of the screen. (Only applies to the touch enabled version of the application).
However, being an ebook reader and free has its huge catches, in this case the support for file formats being .txt and .fb2 files. Text files means that there’s no formatting of the text besides not always being standardized. The FB2format is an ebook format based on XML, which originated from Russia and this means that finding PC software to convert ebooks to this format can be a bit tedious.
