Any news on a fix for the image scaling bug that was identified some time ago? Images still don't scale up to the full screen size like they do in other readers, and the settings in the options seem to be ignored.

I've tried changing the settings by manually editing the configuration file in a text editor, to no avail. All images including the book cover are tiny.

I use Cool Reader primarily on my Nook STG, and I'm very grateful for such a fantastic replacement (and improvement) over the stock reader. But I'm still a little unsure about all of the features and what they do.

Could somebody please tell me what effect font gamma has? I think it's set at 1.5 by default on the Nook. I can't see a difference changing it: is it supposed to make text appear darker or lighter? Is that what checking font kerning does?

My biggest question mark lies with the screen refresh modes: What is the difference between Fast and Fast 2? I have been using the former, but out of curiosity, would like to know what the latter does.
