Congratulations! One of the problems with latest firmware is power drain (twice confirmed) so I would advise you too return to 538.

The Gen3 seems to crash every now and then after a about and hour of so of reading. A couple of times It was when reading a text file. The last few times, was when I was reading a comic strip (Gif's on a 256mb SD card formatted FAT32) and It just froze and switched off. Is this normal?This is after the firmware update.
|
Hmm... have you checked for corrupted internal memory? I had couple of crashes, but only while/after reading PDF's.

It also seems to be corrupting a 2gb sd card I have inside it, in the middle of reading. while I have taken it out and reformatted it to FAT32 a couple of times.Haven't tried it after upgrading the firmware. Does the new firmware help in this regard in anyway. I've temporarily got another 256mb sd card in it right now.

Try the other card. It's a known problem - some cards are problematic (or perhaps Cybook is picky).

When trying to read a couple of PDF's with a lot of images inside (25mb), it just shows a blank page half the time, and the other half, just crashes the device.

I
heard it's connected with the new firmware - have no experience myself.
[UPDATE] Just tried to open text only pdf and it crashed CyB thee times before I managed to open it - and that's with 538 (old) firmware[/UPDATE]

Is it possible to set the actual zoom level when viewing PDFs or Jpegs, as opposed to just fitting to screen, to width or to length.
|
No, not atm.

When looking at Mobipocket books created with Mobipocket Creator, is it possible to zoom into images within the book. I've got some scanned religious books that are a collection of images as they can't be OCR'd (In Gujarati). Also if that is not possible, what wolde you suggest would be the best way to read such a book. It is currently in PDF format which is not being read by the Gen3.

Uhh... see my first comment. And someone with similar reading habits should advise you about your options.

Finally, is it possible to remember which Image I was last looking at (bookmark ) or do I need to remember and scroll to the point I was last at.

Remember, apparently. There's no bookmark in PDF.
