Folks,

Just got my 302. This is my first reader. Had it setup and started reading and
it was great. Mine arrived with English->Russian dictionary, thanks to this site
I was able to do the needful to turn it to English->English.

However I've a few questions based on the problems I've faced so far, In case anyone knows how to get around these please do let me know:

I'm on the 15.2 firmware.
Here are a few things I've noticed:

1. Very often, SD card is not detected. (The only solution seems to be to eject the card and reinsert it.).
2. PDF When zoomed, I'm unable to PAN left/right. PAN up/down seems to work fine. I'm trying to do it in the touchscreen.
3. When viewing a pdf file that has say two coloumns of text, is there a mode where where we can view things coloumn by coloumn?
4. I also find that doing a search in PDF, seems to take a long time (say even in the loaded usermanual) and the time it seems to take is proportional to the length of the pdf (given that the usermanual is just 80 pages, with larger PDFs its almost impossible to use it.) Sometimes when in reflow mode, the search, after a long "hour-glass" time it just exits the book itself.
5. when searching, it seems to alter the zoom prevailing. Once the search is done, it comes back to the zoom level in which it was prior to searching. Anyway to avoid this?

6. Does anyone have instructions on how to use bluetooth to transfer files? (I'm not intrested in connecting to the internet via another device but rather just in transfering files from my laptop to 302.)
7. Anyway to customize how many entries are shown in the "last opened books" list? (By default how many does it display?)
8. I tried wifi with WPA-PSK and that seems to work. But I was trying WPA-Enterprise and have had no success in connecting to hidden wifi network that uses WPA/WPA2 Enterprise and MSCHAP authentication... has anybody had any success with that?

Thanks!
