FBReader for MacOS: first public version to be available this Wednesday. Native interface, network sync, and secret ;) features.

We expect to update iOS version and release first public version for MacOS next week.

Full release as well as the Premium update planned for this week.

FBReader 2.8.11 rolled out for 10% of Google Play users. Even more tolerant XML parser, fixed LitRes store registration issues, and a number of minor fixes.

FBReader 2.8.9 available for 10% of the Google Play users. Full roll-out planned for the Thursday. The most significant change is an updated parser, that is tolerant to some XML errors. It makes a number of "broken" fb2 & ePub books readable by the app. Another addition is opening files from Chrome downloads and from some file managers. Similar update of the iOS version coming very soon.

FBReader 1.0.3 for iOS is coming this week. You can turn pages using volume keys (the option is switched off by default) and set up arbitrary tap zones for page turning.
