Is that because it doesn't use the standard folders (.config, /usr/share/icons or similar, etc) because it isn't really "installed" but rather self-contained?

A couple more observations using the various option windows and file requesters:
- Plain text: margins are still ignored (still my new default text viewer!)
- Copy & paste works, nice! (ctrl-C, ctrl-V, ctrl-X) (Tab-completing doesn't, careful!)
- Finally a glimpse behind the scene (the actual OS filesystem)

Which leads to my next request: Any chance for a Terminal application? It would be handy, if only to rename documents, create subfolders etc. since none of that is supported in the current interface. Generally provide a little more independence from having to connect the reader or pop the card out to do the above. Yes, it can be dangerous, but hey it'd be only for people who like living on the edge

And of course the reason I have always been jealous of Iliad owners, being an old school gamer: GARGOYLE or any IF VM (Frotz...)
(I am embarrassed, after searching around a bit, to find out I already asked for it on the Iliad, even though I never got one... some things don't change... Oh and I like the Iliad software keyboard design much better)
