Hi!

First post

I'm happily using Duokan 0.5.13.8827 Beta0318 on a Kindle DXG to read Manga.
I used to use Mangle (draw frame, no dither) and the Kindle OS but switched to Duokan since it's much faster.

1)I do have a problem with screen refresh - I have a lot of ghosting! I did set "Full Refresh(Pages)" to 1. I can set the value in the menu but it seems to have no effect. I always have to force refresh with "Enter"
I don't know if it's related but the date/time on Duokan is 1969 -1-1 and even if I change it to the current date it will reset once I re-enter the settings menu.

2) since I stopped processing in mangle/draw frame most manga I have in Duokan is fullscreen overscan - I can see I loose some image on the sides (some text is missing), I verified this by rotating the picture and sure enough the text was there

3)last but not least since I stopped using Mangle to save time I lost the nice auto rotation on the double page pictures. I guess there's no other way than "alt+g " on duokan - like auto rotate- right? It would be nice to avoid the mangle processing step and just keep transferingpng/jpg on duokan.

Thanks and apologies for the wall-o-questions
