Frankly, I am overjoyed that you like the lBook firmware. I will likely switch over also until the factory can get an F.U. out that is really top notch with no detractions.
What this Astak dedicated forum is about is to find ways to make things even better for those who own our devices. If it be Lbook firmware then that is great. However, I will not stop pressing the factory to do it better.
I am appreciative of your thoughts and your post!

Wow I totally must of missed your reply Robert til I saw it quoted in Davimee post!
Right now the Lbook firmware is better then December's Firmware I have used since I got my PP in March. Coolreader 3 and file management really make Lbook firmware worth switching not to mention the contrast is much better. You know how solid I have been on using MOBI/PRC format but it just took two days of using CoolReader for me to switch totally to EPUB.
CoolReader still has some issues. inline Links with files that has spaces or special characters in it are broken. Page breaks are iffy as well. If there is Chapters with a header graphic it ignores the page break. It does not see the TOC of an EPUB file but those are the only issues I have come across.
ADE seems the same to me though I do not prefer to use it.
Also do not turn the reader off while in a book I notice the screen stays frozen on the last page. Close the book first then turn off the unit and you will get the goodbye graphic and a proper blank screen. At least this happens to me in Coolreader.
I think you'll like the Lbook firmware. At first I felt a little lost but the people here were so helpful. One thing about trying Lbook you'll be able to really see the difference and compare what needs to be implemented and improved in Astak's version.
I have not given up hope for better firmware from Astak but I'm very happy there was an alternative to try till the factory does get it stuff together. To me that is what the EzReader is all about, not being locked into any one thing. I can choose many formats, I can buy my books anywhere I want and now I can try different firmware if need be.
I'm a very content EzReader owner.
