No dialogs. Poetry turned into prose. Damn! They added some very important features (UTF-8 decoding and improved fb2 reader) and fixed a few bugs, but introduced a new bad one in the process. Somebody here said it was a feature, not a bug. Hopefully, Ectaco will fix this "feature" ASAP. Should be an easy fix.


Interestingly, however, all the plain txt us-ascii titles I've downloaded from Gutenburg yesterday ALL display perfectly!

Their Library (on the Reader and on their webpage) should probably be addressed - and very quickly, at that - or there will be some very unhappy customers. Only a few of their txt files display correctly. -- But, as mentioned, the quick solution is to re-download them from Gutenberg.

I'll be downloading more txt files today from Gutenberg, just to make certain that I wasn't "lucky."
