Expecting bug free software is unrealistic. But it is not unrealistic to expect working navigation if you have a couple of hundreds books on the device.
Which is why I'm beginning to learn to accept the FBReader GUI on my WinXP machine. Of course, if someone (who's a better programmer than I) were to add PC1 decryption support to FBReader, I wouldn't have to resort to those standalone Python apps to remove DRM from my purchased Mobi ebooks. (Hint. Hint. ) I'm not saying that FBReader has the best folder navigation interface, but at least it has something!
