Hi,
Please note "Booxtor" (not Booxter)

+ View Title setting. It's quite convenient. The setting should work even in recent reading list too but not working.

Actualy I don't like that feature don't use it currently. It is still not finished and devteam is worinkg around it.

- Every update flushes user preferences and customization. Needs a more mature approach for update. It's pain doing everything again.
a. Flushed Webpage bookmarks (stored by user) and default bookmarks ( changed google.com to google.de, similar to wiki link)
b. User installed fonts are removed. i guess user installed screen-savers will be removed too.
c. TimeZone reset to HK.
d. Custom apps need to install again (FM, i guess custom dictionaries too).

This claim is not completely true. If you are hacking on the update file and do your customisation by modifiying it (copying of fonts, dicts, screensavers etc. in it), please don't be surprized when that kind of customisation is gone after update with a new (not modified) file. It is actually not that much complicated to modify the update file again. Regular installed fonts and dicts are not affected during update.

- The dictionary look up while reading is not correctly reading words.
a. Word selection is cumbersome and sometimes user selects a word while the look up shows a different word. Problem is the look up is not even close to the searched word (select septon, it shows epyllion). So needs improvement here. I haven't used star-dict before but color dict is pretty accurate.
b. Usually it's one word at a time we do look up for, so while in dictionary mode maybe it will be good idea to do whole word selection upon click on word. One click selection is there but highlighting is wrong (select space and character from the left side and leave last character from the selected word).

Please don't be so generalising.
The corret way would be to say: there are some PDF Documents where:
a) ...
b) ...

This problem has been already mentioned in older posts and because of some problems with the given Adobe SDK not as easy to solve as we'd like

- Beta PDF reader is missing preferred features of the existing PDF reader. So I think I'll not check further. Maybe best if we improve the existing one.

Beta PDFreader is missing a couple of preferred features of the existing PDF reader. It is still a very beta

- Cannot scribble for about 1.5 cm margin from top and 1.5cm below. There is no margin settings given anywhere. Needless to mention i did pen calibration before doing this.

It is again about modifiying of Update File (copiying of Scribble background templates in it). I have just forgotten to do it. Yesterday I have replaced the Update with the file with correct templates.
I would also suggest you to read my first post about Scribble background templates carefully

- The language selection from settings shows some of the list elements without any text and some with unreadable characters. If a language characters are not supported, no need to keep that in the list. Some of the language files are not fully converted yet so for them labels are still shown in English. I think this was corrected in the previous update of June 1.7. But it's appeared again.

You have obviously changed the menu font. Some fonts of M92 support just latin encodings and you won't be able to see Chinese or Arabic letters.

- Picsel Document Viewer (doc, xls, ppt) needs lot of improvement. Formatting, support for the document readability.

It is actually third party software and unfortunately Onyx dev team has other priorities currently. I would not expect a lot of improvements very soon.

- Upon zoom, PDF images are not displayed and tables formatting is lost. Just text is shown.

It is just a nature of reflowed PDFs.
If you have documents with pictures and tables it is better to use standard zoom and not the reflow feature.
