I tried the new firmware. The dictionaries work very nicely, but there are some display issues. It seems hyphenation is performed the Asian way, i.e. per character. Please see attached picture "dictionary_cut". Is this fixable?
The links in ePub still do not work. I downloaded the news for Adventure Gamers with Calibre, and shot pictures of the first two pages in both ebookapps and Sony modes. Please find attached ebookapps1-2 and sony1-2. As you can see, it's a complete mess. Maybe this is fbreader's fault?
Also, it would be nice having a history of recent page views, as in the official firmware. It is very useful when you lose track of the last page viewed, or when you use hyperlinks and you want to go back.
I have noticed that after using the ebookapps firmware, Calibre refused to connect to the Reader. I had to delete the "metadata.calibre" in the root folder of the device, delete the ebookapps firmware, reset the device and come back from idle mode. Deleting the "metadata.calibre" is not enough, nor is just resetting the device or deleting the new firmware. Some combination of the above is required. Very, very annoying.
All in all, a very good release.
