Given all the positive posts I updated yesterday. The main reason I did that was because I wanted to get the Families 1.1. app.

The Edge is a very useful device for a genealogist. I use the Legacy family tree software on a PC and with the app Families 1.1. I can maintain the same Legacy families on the Edge.
Under Dingo the app did not install. The developer made a customised version for me that worked (and for free).Under Ermine the official app installed with no issues (which is good news also for the developer because he gets his well deserved pay).

The eReader and Journal features are for me the most important features. I only need some basic apps.
PDF is not my favourite format for ereading. In prefer epub and the landscape function works ok for epub. The books I bought all display in two columns; the free books like Anna Karenina are just displayed wide. I would love to know what setting in which epub file component causes the two column display.

What I still like to have is a link to the Ermine update.zip file. Just like a copy as back up..

I sincerely hope that the software development continues and we get a final release of Ermine. The Kno (another double tablet I like, but I prefer one e-ink screen) seems to have abandoned/outsourced the whole hardware stuff. If Entourage could strike a similar deal then the future could still look bright.

ps.
Do not open a book from the tablet while on the e-ink a menu item is opened. The open menu item seems to get hidden behind the text of the new opened book thus 'freezing' the e-ink. Keeping the double arrow button a few seconds down resets the e-ink. So it not a big issue. Could already have been a Dingo 'bug'.
