I've been scanning these forums for help as I learn to use this new reader, but there aren't a lot of ones specific to the 623. I'm hoping some of our regulars can help:

I've seen a number of references to fbReader as being standard on Pocketbook. I can't find anything in mine that lets me switch. Is there a hidden way to switch, or does anyone know if it's not included on this one?
The user guide says any TTF copied into the system fonts folder can be used by the reader, but it doesn't show in my list of font opens when I try to switch fonts. Are you aware of any tricks or tips for this? ETA: I figured this one out!
The user guide says Dropbox should show up under my Accounts and Synchronization menu...no luck. Does anyone know if this was taken out of their firmware or is there another setting that needs to be turned on before I see the Dropbox option? ETA: Figured this out, too.

I'm sure I'll have more questions, but these are the ones I've pretty much given up on finding myself.

Thanks!

ETA: I checked again - the first thing I did when I got the 623 was to head to the website for the last firmware update...but apparently while I downloaded it, I didn't install it. Installing it answered question #2.
