Technology — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 17 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 90% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

20 posts held, back to 21 March 2025 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 2 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 3 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
August update is rolling out FBReader 3.8.32 for Android is already on our site, and will be available in the app stores very soon. Nothing major this time, just a maintenance release with a few nice improvements: 📚 Better Android 16 compatibility 📚 New Wave and Reverse Wave page-turn animations for BOOX and ViWoods eink devices 📚 A refreshed look on eink devices, including a new Mudita Kompakt launcher icon 📚 Bet…
New Android releases are out! Today we’re updating both the stable and beta tracks for Android, releasing versions 3.8.30 and 4.0 beta 122. The main improvement is better ZIP archive support, making ePub and fb2.zip books more reliable to open. This fixes a number of issues, including missing covers in some books and missing sections of text in others. Other changes include fixes for PDF and comics rendering, supp…
FBReader 3.8.29 for Android This update improves FBReader behaviour on InkBook devices. The app now correctly detects InkBook devices as e-ink readers. Additionally, we've updated the licence check flow. On InkBook devices, FBReader Premium can now be installed and used free of charge. We've also fixed a few stability issues in cloud synchronisation.
FBReader 4.0 beta 121 for Android After a year’s pause, the beta branch is back — and we plan to keep it active. This release includes everything from stable version 3.8.28, plus two additions: PDF rendering now uses PDFium, and TTS replacement patterns can contain spaces. The switch to PDFium is a significant under-the-hood change that opens the door to new PDF features. It may also introduce compatibility issues…
FBReader 3.8.28 for Android This update fixes a few annoying UI issues. The reading screen now properly respects Android system gestures, and book covers load more smoothly in the library view. We’ve also removed the LitRes catalogue integration. It no longer made much sense to keep it around. Instead, users in selected countries will now see links to Readino, our EPUB ebook store. As usual, thank you for using F…
Today we’re launching Readino on Product Hunt. Readino is an independent EPUB ebook store built around the same ideas as FBReader: books should remain accessible across compatible apps and devices, rather than being tied to a single platform. If you’ve used FBReader over the years, we’d really appreciate your support. An upvote on Product Hunt costs nothing, but it genuinely helps both Readino and FBReader continue…
Note: the announcement below is only relevant to users of the Russian-language ebook store ЛитРес, so it is published in Russian only. Важная информация для пользователей FBReader и ЛитРес Интеграция ЛитРес в FBReader больше не работает. Со стороны FBReader никаких изменений, отключающих эту функциональность, не производилось. Работа интеграции прекратилась после изменений на стороне ЛитРес. В результате больше н…
FBReader 1.2.6 for iOS The new version is gradually rolling out on the App Store and will be available to 100% of users within seven days. This update aligns the ePub engine with our other platforms, ensuring more consistent book rendering across devices. It also resolves several iOS-specific performance issues, resulting in a smoother reading experience.
FBReader 3.8.23 for Android The main improvement in this update is significantly faster loading of ePub files with complex embedded styles. For some books, opening time has been reduced from several minutes to just 1–2 seconds. Additional improvements include enhanced hyphenation logic (especially for English) and a fix for the Menu Settings page — all items are now moveable.
New Year 2026 Sale FBReader Premium for Android and the Full Edition for iOS are available at a reduced price until the evening of 10th January. The discount is up to 50% off the regular price (the exact amount depends on your country and the app store), and applies on Google Play, Huawei AppGallery, and the Apple App Store. We wish you a peaceful and joyful 2026, with plenty of time for relaxed and enjoyable readi…

Both versions fix bookmark sync issues, significantly improve ePub support, and add a new Esperanto interface translation. The beta version also introduces OPDS 2.0 support and integration with the Readino ebo…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @fbreader. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 12 October 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
