Interesting. I had a previous version, but it didn't update. I have uninstalled the old version (which I never apparently registered and didn't seem to work correctly with the sample content when I tried it out just now).

Also I thought the previous version (or maybe it was just the iOS version?) was a version of Bluefire. That doesn't seem to be true of this thing.

I'm trying some ePub3 sample files, will see how that goes. Ah. There is a 'Reader Extension' app that you need to install as well. Now we're getting further.

* The japanese (vertical writing) sample does not display any script but the embedded 'read along' audio plays, and the pages turn 'backwards' as they should.
* the linear algebra sample (MathML) opens but so far I'm not sure I'm seeing any MathML.
* one of the fixed-layout samples ('cole-voyage-of-life-tol-20120405.epub') seems to work also

Lots of crashing though.

Well, this is fun! But I have to run for now.

At this point I have to think Sony sells more Android tablets than PRS-T2s. This app appears to be exactly the same as the one they ship on Xperia (based on the app icon).
