Every 5 or 6 times, I can actually get to the right screen ('Go To', for example, shows me 'Go to page #' or 'Go to position %'), but most often, it just crashes.
Is there a version that you can recommend which will run in v1.5? (I'm not sure what version I've installed - I downloaded from SourceForge a couple of weeks ago, but I can't seem to find a the version # within the app and I've deleted the original apk file.)
Thanks,

Most likely, it's known OutOfMemory error, occured when trying to allocate surface bitmap buffer for dialogs. It's reproduced on some devices (not only Android 1.5). It's occurs if where is SurfaceView widged present in activity window. This buffer is shared among applications, and it's size is limited (8Mb usually.
Only first versions of CoolReader (w/o page flipping animation) don't use SurfaceView, and hence don't have such bug.
I'm working on fix - to get dialogs working w/o window surface buffer, but not successful for now.
