Update on the situation with bulleted lists. I have just upgraded to v3.0.49-14 from the CoolReader web site. This appears to solve the problem, although the bullets are not perfect. The standard appears to be a lower-case 'o', while the square is very small. However, its certainly a great improvement!
In case it's been as a result of my comments, one minor related point: the line indent for the following lines in the list is a little less than the position the first word on the first line. Same is true for Windows version. Be great if that could be corrected...
