User guide
Q: What to do if one of my screens is blurred?
A: There is sharpness button in the menu just for that.
Q: I see wrong charaters in some files. What to do?
A: Make sure your ebooks are UTF-8 encoded. You can do so by opening them in windows notepad and saving them as files with UTF-8 encoding. For fb2 books you also should correct declaration. ebubs are by default in UTF-8, but epub format is not properly supported.
Q: Something else is wrong! Can someone fix it?
A: Maybe. Write to [email protected]
