Hello everyone,
not a tech expert so hopefully you can make any possible solutions fairly simple.
First problem which is REALLY bugging Me(pardon the pun) is the reader app in My pb 701iq.It keeps blackscreening while reading or after a couple of mins. not reading or just putting down for a few seconds,then says,after taking 4 to 5 times longer to find the same page or going back to the front of the book,"sorry, reader application closed unexpectedly" so i choose the "force close" option,and then have to start all over again.I haven't changed anything in the machine and it seems to be happening more and more frequently even though I have only just over a 100 books in the iq,which I read in the epub format which is nice and simple for downloading and reading.Is it a machine problem or a reader app problem or can I replace the reader app totally?Very frustrating.
Also,there appears to be a 2.1.1 update for the iq which requires a 2.0.6 update to be updated from but,I don't see a 2.0.6 update on the Greenreader website for the iq,only for the pb 602.The only new update for the iq is the 2.0.3 which the iq came with already installed.
Is the Greenreader site THAT slow to get updates or can I get this 2.0.6 update from somewhere else or is there a simpler solution?
Re;the first problem,I saw on one of the forums someone suggesting the "coolreader" app.Would this be better and would it solve the problem the present reader app seems to have and where would I find it?
Sorry for this very long thread,trying to give all relevant info.
Here's hoping someone can help
Thanks very much.
