I've used Coolreader yesterday, and I like it a lot better than beta1.

I like the lay-out options and it is able to present the epub better than fbreader180 imho. I really like the interface and will probably use this reader if some of the functions work a little better.

I couldn't find a way to change controls; I have set the controls in the options menu of the PB302. Both AdobeViewer and fbreader180 use those settings. Coolreader does not (yet?). Perhaps this is not a big deal, but sometimes I jump 10 pages instead of 1 . That can be confusing.

Also I'd like to be able to use a dictionary, I saw in the keymaps.ini that there is some reference to MCMD_DICT, but I'm too less of a programmer to put it to use . I've set one of the buttons to open a dictionary, but Coolreader overrules this.

Is it possible to use the power button as set in the overall menu? It does different things than AdobeViewer and fbreader180 who seem to share the overall settings. This is just for convenience. At the moment I use the powerbutton (one click) for menu, to switch books, switch profiles or to switch it off the PB302.

There are some other small issues, but these are the most important at the moment.
It is a great step forward though.
