I hope this information is sufficient, if there are any questions don't

Kind regards,

So, a bit disappointing, I'm really looking forward to the DR800 but it drives me crazy when companies make announcements but don't deliver.

they appear to have a 3 month development cycle (assuming that the release of the notes match the release of the firmware) and so, following this logic, I would predict this will be mid-November. Why they cannot release bug fixes I do not know but I guess they must have their reasons??

If they do not fix these lock-ups, I have to say I will have just about run out of patience! ]]> iRex Digital Reader curbarthedog http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60752 Printing to Irex Digital Reader http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60542&goto=newpost Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:16:38 GMT I was wondering if there is an option to really print to the Digital Reader in a streamlined way..

The problem is that right now, I have to :

1. attach the device via USB
2. choose 'Connect to PC'
3. Print the document
4. remove USB connection
5. Pick the right folder
6. Open the document

This isn't really fast and requires a lot of action from the user.

Is there some way to make it really easy for example:

1. attach the device via USB
2. print the document
3. document is on screen so you can detach the devivce from USB and directly start readying the printed document

So basicly the device should automaticly watch a folder for new pdf files and directly open them when a new file is found.

And on connection a USB cable the Reader should automaticly answer the question with yes (or make this a setting in the configuration of the device)

And 3th the device should make it posible to show files when connected to USB.

Anybody know if there are such posibilities ? tools that makes this kind of things happening ? ]]> iRex Digital Reader Antonieb http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60542 Severe case of battery drain after 1.7 http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60325&goto=newpost Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:02:43 GMT sorry if it's a double post , but as far as i have read , nobody mentioned this behaviour:
after upgrading , i seem to have been encountering an old problem with increased frequency : after a seemingly full charge , which is over 3 hours with the battery icon on device shows fully charged state , i disconnect , mind you , i don't do anything , it's my macbook that feeds the device , so i just disconnect it( i never answer that question on DR , that says do you want the device to be used as a storage of something to that effect ) . and i happen to not be able to use the device for a couple of days ( uber busy , i know ) and then , bam , there is not an iota of energy in the DR , not even to boot. it takes 10 minutes in charge , just to turn the red light into green , essentially enabling the DR to boot.
any suggestions?
i am sick of it , i might as well use some sort of charger , i just am worried , any unofficial wall charger might hurt the battery.

So, I have a bit of a problem...

I have been marking up a 145-page document pretty completely. A lot of notes. Just now I went to merge the entire document with my notes, and the companion software hit p.45 and then just STOPPED merging. A few seconds later, it told me that the merge process was complete but that there was an error on p.45.

I went to open the merged file but there was nothing wrong with the merge on p.45. Instead, five pages later, on p.50, that's where the merging ended.

I went to check file sizes. The original document was 845 kb and my imperfectly merged file was 10.5 mb. Is there a max limit to how much notes can be merged? How is this calculated?

So now, I've got a slight problem. I want to merge all 145 pages of my notes into the file. Obviously, the slow but certain method would be to erase my notes and then somehow re-copy them later, throughout doing a few merges to merge my 145 pages of notes 45 pages at a time, but I'm not even sure how I'd get that to work (take pictures of my notes with a camera???)...

Suggestions or advice appreciated!!! Am I missing something obvious???

Well, I've owned my DR1000S for over two months now. Generally speaking, I'm very pleased with it. Every once in a while (esp. between Day #30-60, maybe once a week during that period), I encounter a random bug and have to reset, but it's not enough to distract me.

Some of my documents are very large (.doc converted to .pdf), around 900+ pages each. Basically, each of these documents is a long collection of journal abstracts that represents a 'library' that I like to mark up.

A couple times now, I've added 100+ bookmarks to these large files, and screens start freezing regularly. At bookmark #140, I'd turn on my device and without exception, it'd freeze just a couple minutes after opening the file. In contrast, few bookmarks = no problem. ]]> iRex Digital Reader cmhsieh54 http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58876 Alternatives to the DR1000 http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58801&goto=newpost Thu, 08 Oct 2009 23:22:53 GMT Hi, What is out there or will shortly be out there as an alternative to the DR1000 having a similar or larger screen size?
