I've only had my Story HD a month, but I love it. It does everything I want in an ebook reader. But I'm curious about one feature I don't use: getting ebooks directly from Google on the device. How is searching for a book supposed to work?

When I type in a search that has more than 6 matches, it shows as more than one page--but how do you get to the second page? I can go down as far as "Page 1 of 17", but pushing down, right, or enter from there does nothing. Can anyone make this work?

I asked about it at Google, and they said it was a hardware problem and to contact iriver. I emailed iriver, and they said to try updating to the newest firmware and try resetting the device (thanks, bottom-level helpdesk guy!). Nobody seems to acknowledge this as a defect in the UI. Is no one using this feature at all?
