Personally this bug is annoying because I have to use smaller images in MobiPerl just because of yjis bug and that means that other platforms without the bug also will have smaller images since it would be a nightmare to try do treat files differently depending on viewing device.
I'd forgotten about that bug, Tommy - yes, that one IS major, I agree with you. Can it happen, though, on books which meet the Mobi spec of images <64k in size, or is the problem actually caused by "Mobi Creator" creating files which "break" the spec by having images >64k? I've noticed that on several of the books I've created, it's inserted images >64k; the code which shrinks larger images to 64k doesn't always seem to get it right. I see that there's a newer version of Mobi Creator now available than the one that I'm using; I'll have to see if they've fixed that bug in the new version.

BTW, After the messages on this thread I wrote to "support@bookeen.com" yesterday afternoon and asked when the next firmware release was due. I got an answer within the hour to say that it would be released in March.
