That's unfortunate: I hope someone will soon step in and take over the development... As far as my feature request is concerned, I searched for some possible icons to be used for marking books as "completed", "in progress", and "to be read". Here's what I found: • completed: http://publicdomainvectors.org/en/free-clipart/Green-tick-OK-vector-icon/9250.html • in progress (perhaps filled in yellow): http://publicdomainvectors.org/en/free-clipart/Vector-graphics-of-open-book/4186.html • to be read: http://publicdomainvectors.org/en/free-clipart/Red-cross-NO-vector-icon/9249.html Please note that these icons are in the public domain, hence they may be used/modified/copied/redistributed without any restrictions. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare!

Valid point. Unfortunately, the desktop version of fbreader is not developed for years. I'd be happy to know if someone picks it up to continue the development and port the thing to Qt5 so fbreader can stay in archive for stretch+1. -- Eugene V.

Bug#849992: fbreader: provides no way to mark books as read or unread
Package: fbreader Version: 0.12.10dfsg2-2 Severity: wishlist Hello Eugene! I failed to find a way to mark books as read/unread in fbreader. I mean: fbreader remembers which is the book the user is reading and the point the user were, when the program was last closed. This is good, but there should be a way to distinguish which books have already been completed, and which books are still be read. It's an important feature, especially when the user's collection of e-books begins to grow beyond the few books that may easily be remembered as read or unread and easily be searched by simply glancing over the list. Is there a way (other than moving read books out of the directories scanned by fbreader...)? If this feature has already been implemented, it should be documented in a more prominent place. Otherwise, it should be implemented (and documented, obviously). Please help upstream to implement and/or document this feature and/or forward my bug report upstream, as appropriate. Thanks for your time!
