From within a book bring up the menu that has your fonts and stuff.
Select "settings."
Select "system."
Unchecked the "enable system status" box.
Return to reading.

You can use "ToogleFullscreen" external app. It has "Hide title bar" option.

I record short video with bluetooth mouse and internet browsing on my i86ml:

Actually it's working better on finger touch. I86ml has multitouch, so finger zoom in and out works flawlessly and A2 mode is not necessary.

I have the late June 'first production' batch i86, no idea if they would've changed leds between mine and the newerish one Darkcookie got. It's blueish to me, but I am fairly biased towards wanting a really red light at night - I've been using f.lux on all my machines and my phone for years though so my eyes are used to screens being a fairly warm hue at night.

This said, I have found the i86 backlight as-is useful for daytime scenarios like reading on a bus / cloudier days. That's partly why I haven't felt too motivated to tear it apart for the kapton tape hack.

Heating the glass substrate unevenly sounds like a recipe for disaster if it is like ordinary plate glass (i.e. expands when heated). Does anyone know if the substrate is made with glass with a low expansion coefficient (like Pyrex)?

I've got blue leds too, but in my perception background seems quite white as in my tablet LCD. I had imagined before that I will have definitely blue colour background while reading.
It is blue led without doubt anyway, but I am accustomed to this type screens.

Yeah, just to clarify I'm thinking you'd only need to heat the far edge of the device (i.e. where the page up/down buttons are) in order to get the soft-plastic frame cover off. IIRC there's some type of glue/tape used on the left edge, so this would just be a small amount of heat. From there you might then be able to find the latches/screws.

Still, you need to be careful if there's any tape around the edges where the actual eink screen is. If it's like the nooks, it's a very thin/fragile tape.

Does anyone have a working English dictionary file for the i86? My device doesn't seem to have a dictionary built-in.

Some you need compress to .dz format (you can use "dictzip" program). Default dictionary tool only supports compressed dictionaries.

I wasn't aware, but the work you did was brilliant! Thank you!

Have you tried the mod with red kapton tape?

Question for other i86plus owners:

Is the ribbed plastic bezel above the pagebuttons pushed upwards a little to above the outer shell, creating a little bump ?
You can notice this to look from the side and without the cover.

Thanks...

I honestly have no problem with my device. I haven't seen any of the bending of the case like in some of the test production models.
