So I finally got around to 0.35k and in my opinion it is the best firmware yet! Glad to see ECTACO is working on ... something. What I've noticed:
Improvements to ePUB:
-ADE page numbers are very small and do not scale with the font. Neither do the images scale -- yay! Instead of a font "zoom %" it's a bona-fide size selection and doesn't mess up the images. I'll have Calibre give all of my books a small right margin and it will be perfect.
-Search feature is back (missing since ADE) but no dictionary yet.
Improvement to PDF:
-NEW search function (not there in any old version that I know of).
Overall:
-Saves settings in ePUB/PDF.
-"8" key on TOC is broken. I remember this happening on some Libre firmware I tried so I'm not sure why it "leaked" over here.
-PDF TOC issues with nested TOC?
-No option to remove title bar in ADE (I hope they bring this back)
-No dividing the screen into 4 or 9 parts in PDF (I didn't use this feature)
I do like 0.35a2 for the custom fonts but the ePUB works well enough that I think I'll stick with this for now. Having to constantly change zoom settings when reloading books was a pain.
