After updating the OpenInkpot firmware, I ran in to a couple of formatting problems. The alignment of the text on the .epub files is always centered even after changing it to justified or left under the settings. The menu seems unresponsive.

The Hanvon no longer remembers and displays the last book you read on the main menu after shutdown. I have to go through a series of menus just to find my place again.

Overall, it seems that I lost functionality after the update. There wasn't really anything new aside from some changes in the interface that I did not like. I thought that screen that prompts you to set the date and time at start up would have been removed from the Hanvon version of OI by now seeing as that Hanvon does not support timekeeping. I was hoping that the sound recorder function of the OEM firmware might have been restored with this update too. But maybe that is asking too much; OI has been pretty good considering.

Is there a software fix to this? I doubt fiddling around with the menu will do anything. Is it safe for me to flash back to an earlier version?
