How To Start

FBReaderJ looks for epub, oeb and fb2 books in directories listed in the Book Path option. First of all you need to set this path. Open the Preferences Dialog (open menu and select Preferences... item, or just press O key), select the top item (Library) and change the value of Book Path option. This option contains the list of directories containing *.epub, *.oebzip, *.fb2 or archive files. Directories in the list are separated by colons.

Open library (menu->Library->Open or L key), select a book from the list and read it.

Alternatively, you can manually add a file to the library. Start add to library dialog (menu->Library->Add Book... or A key), select a file and edit the file information. Next time you can open this file using library.
