Is somebody interested in FBReader?
Its the only reader that supports tags and series well enough and its open source.
Moon+ Reader also supports them, but with great lags (for a lot of books) and not so intuitive ...

I second that!
I already setup my Glo, and I don't think I'll ever return to the Kobo's interface.

There are a few answers that I'm looking for though, like,
"How can I change the pic that is used for suspend (in what path can I find it)?"
"Why no ad-blocking program can write to the hosts file?"
but already we have enough.

If there is anything simple (not a programmer here ) you want me to test for you, just ask.

... and thanks, all you brave programmers ...
