Yup, Mobipocket looks
good now. It's very readable, it's just not yet really usable: Apart from the configurability (more fonts, configurable font size, interline spacing, etc.) I have two major complaints about the Mobipocket app, both about the navigation.
1. Using the TOC is
way more involved than it has any right to be, and it seems to be unreliable, too. The standard behaviour on the V3 clones is for the "7" key to bring up a
navigable TOC, and then for 1-8 to select a TOC entry and for 9 and 0 to page through the TOC, and that's what it should do for Mobipocket, too. Having to switch on Follow Link to actually
use the TOC sucks.
And for some books, it doesn't bring up the TOC at all, even if one is available. But that may be an issue with those books - the Mobipocket Desktop navigates to the title page (or to whatever page is immediately before the TOC?) for those same books.
2. Bookmarks don't seem to work. At all. But at least it remembers your current position in the book.
While they're at it, I wish the BeBook people would follow the example of previous lBook releases and use crengine for txt files instead of the Jinke txt reader. That way, PG text files would be readable directly without conversion...
