Hi

I just thought that I might report on two anomalies that I have uncovered:
1) As an experiment I tried putting my normal kindle documents folder in my fbkindle book path. this appeared to work as I then saw multiple pages in my library view. however, when I attempted to open a book it appeared to crash fbkindle. I was able to restart it easily though. So much for that experiment or stress test.

2) I have an epub with a lot of footnotes. (Fool by Christopher Moore) Fbkindle shows the indicators for the footnotes but doesn't appear to support any way to display them. When I attempted to use the 5 way controller to scroll down the page as I would do with the Kindle reader I was able to once again crash fbkindle. This is a more serious problem since it could be a common thing to accidently touch the 5 way button while reading.

Other than these two items I am enjoying the alternate software and do realize that it is still a work in progress.

Many thanks for this delightful option.
