Here are a couple of 2.4.0 bugs I've just been reminded of after loading some more stuff on my Glo...

1. Suppose you have a bad EPUB (error in the OPF file's XML) and you load it onto the device with a few other books. You go to the library, see the blank cover, and realize there's a problem. You delete it from the device (through the touchscreen interface), fix the book on your computer, hook the device back up, and copy it back onto the device with the same filename it previously had. You eject the device, it redetects the book and correctly shows the cover in the carousel...but the white thumbnail remains in the library view. Only powering off and back on will fix that.

2. Say you're reading one book and you hook the device up to load a few more on. ("A few" can be less than 10, but probably has to be at least 5.) You load the books without incident, go into the library view to shelve 'em, and power off. Instead of seeing the cover of the book you'd been reading, you get the generic "powered off" message. Same happens if you put it to sleep instead of powering down; you get the generic sleep message. You have to go back into your library and manually open the book you'd been reading before its cover shows back up on your sleep/off screen.

3. (Just discovered.) Newly-synced-down Kepubs don't appear at the top of Recent Reads as you'd expect. I'm not sure where they show up in that sort; I just sort by type and skip to the end of the list to find 'em...but shouldn't they show up as the most recent reads, just as new sideloaded books do?
