Question to those of you who tried downloading eBooks via the webbrowser, from gutenberg,org, dropbox or whereever - can you confirm my problem that the reader gets stuck on the screen "processing data" (meaning the book is being added to the library) or does it work smoothly?

Edit: I downgraded to fw 1.9.14 and now the downloads work fine...

Advice on Fonts:
If you can and have available, put at least the Roman / Regular, Italic, Bold and BoldItalic - Files in the folder, not only the Roman or Regular. Kobo uses them accordingly within the book which looks much nicer than the Reader trying to substitute that.

A good free font to have in the collection, is Charis SIL, it provides the mentioned 4 Styles and is a slab serif font similar to Caecilia (which is not free) that is used on the Kindle. If you install the 4 Styles on the Kobo it will show only the font-family name in the list once, and use the styles automatically when needed. http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Charis-SIL
