1. The battery cover lock mechanism simply doesn't work, and excessive force is needed to remove the cover. Not a problem in common use, but eventually I may want to install a SIM module. By the way, we were told that was part of the deal...
2. The power switch is very easily triggered. The included firm sleeve buckles at the corners, and therefore turns the device on in the bag. I worked around this by adding a little padding in the middle.
Meanwhile problems that are not addressed include quite useless zoom levels, crude panning controls (broken more recently), inability to write on SD,
power switch triggering immediately, and so on. It looks like more effort has
been spent working to make repairs impossible (for instance, an apparently GnuPG based update prevention system - which you haven't published as the
LGPL requires) than to clean up issues. I want to have my reader as a usable tool, not a minefield of defects - intentional and not. A point that really makes
me frustrated is that the SDK isn't actually any work to produce - it's the same tools GIK already use.
Oh, and welcome back, mtravellerh.

Iam just here for tech support as I realized that nobody is doing this anymore.
1)agreed
2)problem should be solved with 2.0.6
As for the rest of your mail, no idea what you're talking about, my man
