I'm most interested in Duokan for its ability to read pdf. Epub is so easy to convert to mobi, that it is hardly worth using Duokan to read it, but, at least in Duokan you can use a dictionary with your epub (that's a problem with FBKindle -- no dictionary). And the dictionary in Duokan works with pdf. It doesn't in Kindle.

Curstpriest and WS64: it is great to have you guys around to explain things. I'm just an old fart who likes to read on my Kindle. I know squat about programming, etc.

By the way, that Duokan change log just popped-up today. Usually the posting of the change log precedes the release of the update by a couple of days. It looks as though they intended to get this out by Nov. 28th, but haven't yet gotten it done.
