I have noticed one problem with it.
Using it in protrait mode reading epubs, occasionally it seems to miscalculate the screen width. As I move forward through the book, each page is shifted a little more to the left, until characters are missing from the each line and the first characters from the next page are beginning to appear along the right-hand edge. Easy to fix by rotating the device to landscape and then back to portrait, allowing the device to redraw the screen.
The problem is erratic. It doesn't always occur.
Yes, I noticed that with Aldiko as well. You can fix it by altering any font or any margin - even if you change it back to what it was before. Its quite annoying.

I have also installed the Nook reader - which if it wasn't so horribly tied to the B&N bookshop (which I can't use in Australia) is a really nice interface. Good font - nice page turning. However, I think it is only half baked. Log out and you can see one book in your library at a time. Scrolling is horrible under those circumstances. I also see no way to bookmark and it loses your place. Login, and you can see none of your own loaded books

Ah well - still a nice device and a good bookreader.
