yes, just hit the return key

regarding the comment about collections and folder aboves: kindle's collection system is pretty bare-bones. all it does if form a list of pointers to the locations to your books, so if you ever move that book, say to a new folder, the Kindle drops that title from your collection. this needs fixed by Amazon imo, pretty dumb coding.

for using Duokan and Kindle OS in harmony here's what i did/do:

1. Organise all my documents & books into subject folders, which Duokan supports making navigation much easier.

2. Doing this for the first time might loose some existing collections in Kindle OS, so i simply make my collections again.

3. Thereafter as long as you don't move files to different directories both OS will be happy

since my earlier posts i've being doing some comparisons on PDF documents in Duokan and the latest Kindle DXG firmware The differences in performance are staggering, especially with large files.

Carl Jung, 'Essays on Psychonalaysis' 8.8M PDF

Kindle OS open time: 20 seconds
Duokan open time: 10 seconds

Kindle OS page turn speed: 5 seconds
Duokan OS page turn speed: 1-2 seconds

In conclusion these guys at Duokan have done some seriously nice work on the PDF renderer...Amazon should hire them because the original firmware just isn't up to scratch.

The image viewer in Duokan is also superior if you, for example, like to read Manga on your DX. The Kindle OS has issues with images overlapping each other, and the overal render speed is yet again superior on Duokan.

For every supposed issue with Duokan I can find you an equal number of problems with Amazon's default efforts.
