Thanks for your help guys, it worked perfectly... Turns out I was trying to make that context menu appear but in the wrong place, and it was driving me crazy. I was trying with the direct accesses to the "last read" books that appear in the main menu, and of course no choice of reader. When I go into the library the choices are finally there!

parkher: Sure. The keyboard languages I see are English, Spanish, German,French, Russian, Greek and Ucranian. Keep in mind that to see all these one has to go into the configuration menu, but not all of them are in the same combination of keyboards, that is, you cannot change easily from -let's say- greek to spanish without going into the configuration menu. There are preset combinations that you have to choose. In my configuration menu, these are EN, EN-DE, EN-ES,EN-FR,EN-HE-RU, EN-RU and EN-RU-UA, so for example if I have chosen combination 3 I could easily switch from English to Spanish keyboard the way you told me, but it only offers me those two options, Spanish and English. If I want a Russian keyboard I cannot do it on the fly, I need to go into the configuration again. Maybe they do it this way due to memory constraints, to avoid having many different keymaps loaded? Anyway, it is not a big deal, but if you read in many languages you may need to make that small configuration change every time you start a book in a new language.

Btw, my EURO final firmware has the exact size you give in a previous post.
