As I said in the inital post, some fonts make it crash (e.g. DejaVu Sans).
I was really puzzled about this and also the program displaying different fonts with different heights even though the same height was set.
After installing a self built version of the FreeType2 library (that is used on the Touch for handling fonts) all the problems just vanished.
It seems Amazon either installed a broken FreeType2 library on the Touch (but didn't notice it as their code doesn't really use the full functionality of freetype) or they installed a stripped down customized version of it that's not as thoroughly tested as the full build.
I'm not yet sure how to fix that for the next release.

Not yet, that's one of the other reasons why there's no GUI launcher integration yet.
You have to kill -QUIT it from the command line. Or let it crash
although since I've added the new freetype2 library it didn't crash for me anymore.

The global settings should be saved as soon as you leave the settings menu and return to the text. But note that different format (epub, fb2, ...) have their own settings.
I think the settings for individual e-books aren't saved. That may be due to the missing of a proper way of quitting the application. But I haven't looked into that yet.
