Hi, everyone - just got my 360 Plus and and am brand new to this forum.
1. The system font is too small for my eyes even with glasses - anyway to change it? I mean the font that is used in the browser address bar, for instance. It looks like you can change the style but not the size?
2. Using "sheeps" theme, I create a "Games" folder and copied the apps there, but the folder keeps disappearing and I have to recreate it. Do I need to change a config file?
3. In the browser:
a. How do I use the back and forward icons at the top - can't seem to get to them.
b. How do I bookmark a page?
c. Can I change the start page to a homemade page of my own links (I do this on my Zaurus 3200).
d. How do I backspace and erase letters when I make a mistake in typing an URL?
Also, the screen background is a dark shade of grey making it very difficult to read ebooks, Anyway to lighten the background? FBReader on my Zaurus allows you to change the background. Wow, I really love my Zaurus backlit screen but the PB360 blows it out of the water in sunlight or very bright conditions. In lowlight conditions the PB360 needs a whiter background though.
e. I can't sign into Yahoo. A line on the page says the CAPS lock is on but it is not on.
f. Wish this had the Opera browser - anybody port it yet?
g. What is the "Links" feature? Is it a browser? How do I use it?

I know this is a lot of questions but I am pretty much lost on this device. I did manage to get the FBReader180 with wrist turns installed and it seems to work fine. I did not copy or change any config files when I did that - should I have?
Thanks in advance. I have searched the forum but have not found answers to these questions...maybe I did not phrase the searches correctly.
