I just downloaded and installed OI in my V3 and I'm already in love. Great job, guys!
Two things, 'though: 1) Please, add lock button support as soon as you can. Thank you 2) Is it possible to donate using Paypal? I've not a ChipIn account and I don't feel like creating one just for this. I wouldn't mind donating directly to any of the developers using his/her Paypal account, either. |

What kind of battery life are you getting? I did a couple reflashes and the meter went from 100% to 90%. Anyone having short battery life? Im also using the SD card.

On the BeBook firmware I'd get about 4 weeks before it dropped to 1 bar. Looks like OI is going to give 3-4 weeks assuming the gauge is accurate. |

Reflashing and reading from the SD card consume a lot more energy than just reading from internal storage. Also, shutting down and starting up the device uses more energy than just reading from internal storage. I am reading mostly FB2 from internal storage, and I think that I am using about 2% for every few hundred pages, but that is just a wild guess. I never turn the device off.

Yeah I think I need to learn how to do that, transferring the book from SD to internal. I cant go back after openinkpot. The way it formats the book to the page is amazing. Also, when I try to shut down the book it just hangs at "kill "and does nothing after that.

If you can normally turn on the device with the on/off button after turn off, OI is behaving like it should. If you can't turn it on after shutdown, that's another matter. |

Your right, I get it. How much power is the ebook using while idle? Whats the point of powering down?

Don't know which idling implementation OI devs use, but it's very efficient. So I don't see a point to turn it off as the screen doesn't burn or somthing similar |

Hi,
I am trying OI on my Hanlin for the first time, and it is really great compared to the original Bebook firmware, mainly (for me): - I can now use all the fonts I want (somehow only some of my user fonts were useable with the original firmware) - hyphenation, although not perfect, is MUCH better with FBReader than with CR. This was the one thing that annoyed me most with the original firmware. - ability to set margins, indents, etc from the FBReader menu (would be good to be able to set spacing between paragraphs as well) My main question is: would it be technically possible to make either the CR or FBReader use a custom hyphenation dictionary, similarly to what is done in MSWord or OpenOffice Writer? Small problems I have noticed so far: - could not get comms via USB (WinXP): upon installing the linux.inf driver, I can see the network device but it has a yellow exclamation mark, and nothing shows up under Network Connections. Did anybody get this to work under WinXP? - FBReader does not "see" the manual page breaks in .rtf files. CR does a good job of detecting chapter headings in rtf files and putting a page break before them even if there is no manual page break. - when doing a word search in FBReader, I am getting a selection of Russian characters instead of English ones. Not sure why that is, maybe FBReader not properly detecting the language of the book as mentioned in other posts, but I would not know that since I cannot access the .xml file to change the language because of problem with USB above. Basically, both FBReader and CR implementations have useful features. At the moment I prefer FBReader mostly because of the outrageous hyphenations in CR. In an ideal world, of course, ONE reader would have all the good features of each FBReader and CR, and get rid of the annoyances... All in all, good job guys and keep up the good work. I will keep testing for a little while, and if I decide to stay with you, I will make a donation. Last edited by daviddem; 02-10-2009 at 07:53 PM. |

Hopefully, they'll have a fix for this issue in an upcoming snapshot. You can copy books individually from the SD card to internal storage in Madshelf, if you wish. Last edited by Moe The Cat; 02-10-2009 at 09:38 PM. |
