MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - DR800 ANN: DR800+. Port of some DR1000 features to the DR800

Finally got my Irex up and running again and installed the new DR800+. It is a shame it is running so well and Inigo and Mackx are helping us to improve the device all the time. Now what excuse do we have to buy a new device? Besides, nothing on the market now even comes close. I wonder why nobody makes 8" devices? Seems like the perfect reader/notebook size to me. My only regret is that the DR800 doesn't have a Pearl screen.

Thanks again Inigo, the newspaperdirect app now works perfectly. I was just wondering, is there a way to prevent it from shutting down automatically when switching to another tab? That way it would be possible, for example, to take notes. Now the app loses its position when closing and it takes quite a while to start up. My guess is that that would be difficult because of memory constraints?

One question, why it is not possible to put programs (FBReader and XJournal come to mind) directly into shortcuts? Now we have to put the whole "Programs" directory into shortcuts.
