Would work in most cases. Though if you have lots of book, it can take lots of time.
Though you're right, the normal user don't really want to have to worry about.

At the very least, it should have worked by deleting only the .bin files, no need to delete the .dat ...

EowynCarter · 06-28-2010, 07:38 AM

Who knows, maybe there is something in the .dat related to metadata.
I guess there is, if you have to delete it.

I got the 2.1 because of the ability to invert the next forward buttons, that and the sleep mode.

Where is the 2.0 PDF smart edge cut in 2.1? Has gone? For ever?

fiery · 07-04-2010, 12:43 PM

First, the provided “Instant Reading” feature is very useful.

However, I noticed the following problems with the v2.1 firmware:
1. "Invert Side Buttons" doesn’t save its state. After a shutdown and restart the option is ticked, but the side buttons work as usual. I have to uncheck and check the option again.
2. The "Menu" button requires long (2 sec.) pushing to work now. Very annoying.
3. PDF crop margins function is removed (gasp).

I mailled bookeen about that, they said it will be back with the next version.

Bookeen advise that v1.6 is compatible with Gen3 512M version / 200MHz processor released May 2008; but is there any functional improvement on 1.5 - that makes it worth upgrading ?
Their guidance notes seem to suggest improvements are for the 400MHz proc.

A "standby" icon on the screen when the device is shut down.

More languages to choose from (and corrections to Finnish and Spanish).

CJK characters in the library.

Faster dictionary lookup.

mmmmm

Thanks - obviously nothing earth-shattering ....

adbosch · 07-09-2010, 04:47 AM

Can we create our own standby themes? If so: how (picture requirements) and where to put the pictures?

NicolasR · 07-09-2010, 07:56 AM

Adbosch : this function will be implemented in a future release, Bookeen said to me.

Fiery : 2. The "Menu" button requires long (2 sec.) pushing to work now. Very annoying.
And I thought I was crazy, or that my button was broken !!! Now I know this has something to do with the new firmware.

Nina182B · 07-14-2010, 11:54 PM

Before the 2.1 update, I was recharging my Opus every 6 weeks. (I usually wait until I see the battery meter drop to less than 30%). With the 2.1 update using the sleep mode and never going to Advanced to turn it off, I have to recharge on the 6th day. I didn't realize there would be such a huge difference with the sleep mode. But then again, back when I using the Kindle 1, I do remember having to recharge every week.

I guess this isn't such a big deal if the battery meter on the Opus was accurate - this morning, it had showed me 50% when I let it go to sleep mode, and the next time I tried to read on it (tonight), nothing happened because the battery was drained.

I confirm this issue. The most amazing thing is not much the bug itself, but that it slipped through testing.

Testing is an art sometimes.
Well, thinking about everything is actually.
