I"m using Cool Reader on a CM7 SD rooted Nook Color. I loaded it from android market, and read 3 or 4 epub books. Worked really well, and has become my favorite epub book reader....

A few days ago, my wife (who has an identical Nook Color, rooted in exactly the same way), complained that Cool Reader wouldn't load one of her epub books. So, I tried a couple of my upcoming reads, and indeed, some would not load. They'll load in Aldiko and Moon Reader, but Cool Reader just hangs.

I rebooted, uninstalled Cool Reader, deleted the folder with the settings, re-downloaded and installed, still exactly the same problem. I killed every task I could, trying to free up memory in case it was a memory problem. No difference. Some epubs load quickly, others don't load at all.

Went out to sourceforge and grabbed version 3-0-45-07. Installed fine, and ALL the epubs I've tried load fine. My "menu" button didn't work any more, but I could get into the menu by pressing the middle of the screen. BUT, with 3-0-45-7, changes from user options took a "Next Page" and approximately 35 seconds to reformat the book. Page turns were fine, but changes to the options took a VERY long time.

SO, went back to the market and downloaded 3.0.54-09 from the market, updated, and it failed trying to load the book I was reading, which was one that wouldn't load previously. With this (current) version, it won't load now.

SO, I went back to sourceforge and started the "brute force and massive ignorance" method of finding the last version that worked... Having tried every major version from 3-45 through 3-54, I finally got it down to 3.0.49-07 works fine, 3.0.49-08 will NOT LOAD SOME EPUB BOOKS.

So, at the moment I appear to be stuck using 3.0.49-07. Is there some change I need to make - library? font? something else? to get back to a current working version that'll reliably load all my epub books?
