<subtitle><p>How To Start</p></subtitle>
<p>FBReader looks for <code>ePub</code>, <code>fb2</code> and <code>OpenReader</code> books in directories listed in the <code>Book Path</code> option. First of all you need to set this path. Open the options dialog (just click on <image l:href="#settings.png" voffset="-6"/> in the toolbar) and change the value of <code>Book Path</code> option in the <code>Library</code> tab. This option contains the list of directories containing <code>*.epub</code>, <code>*.fb2</code>, <code>*.orb</code> or archive files. Directories in the list are separated by colons.</p>
<p>Open <code>library</code> (click on <image l:href="#books.png" voffset="-6"/>), select a book from the list and read it.</p>
<p>To read a file in another format, you need to add it to the library. Start <code>add to library dialog</code> (<image l:href="#addbook.png"/>), select a file and edit the file information. Next time you can open this file using <code>library</code> (<image l:href="#books.png" voffset="-6"/>).</p>
