After upgrading to the new firmware, I no longer experience long delays opening long books (like War and Peace), I also no longer experience delays when changing text size!
The new PDF reflowing funtionality is also pretty awesome, I can now use this to read PDFs. Unfortunatley, I'm still having issues adding some word docs to the reader. The Reader software converts them ok, and can display them on the PC, but the Reader displays an "Invalid Page!" message when trying to open it. |
