I don't use DjVu, and I switch off the beep first thing after a firmware update. But yes, fb2 support seems to be quite a bit quicker.
I've gone back to the 2008-01-29 lBook firmware, though, mainly for the following reasons:
- the lBook firmware uses CoolReader for .txt files, while the stock Jinke firmware apparently uses their own viewer. CoolReader is so much better than the Jinke text viewer, it's not even funny anymore. This also explains the different experience with .txt files I noted in post #26 of the Using the V3 thread
- the new CoolReader version uses menus to configure fonts etc., which is quite nice and contains a few new options. But the fb2.css approach no longer seems to work, or at least only works with limitations. The way they deal with font sizes has also changed: when using the FreeSerif font, the font size at the "smallest" setting has gone from perfectly readable to 4pt Flyspeck, and when setting the font size to "medium", the interline spacing is ridiculously huge even at the smallest setting, reducing the amount of text per page by a third. I prefer being able to use my finely tuned fb2.css with sane formatting to being able to use the new options.
- the new firmware seems a bit less stable, and I had to reset the unit once already.
