Right now, OI seems to be working okay. The big problem is that - as developed for the V3 - Madshelf (the library/bookshelf manager) presumes that books and directories will be selected by use of numeric buttons "0"-"9". As we all know, the Cybook and other Netronix variants do not *have* these numeric keys. So until someone recodes Madshelf to handle devices with navigation control buttons similar to what the Cybook has, Madshelf - and thus FBReader - is basically very limited.

But work *is* being done and we should have some real usability soon.
