Hi

Forgive me if this post seems rude. It really was not my intention and I waited quite a long time before sending it.

I was using koreader some months ago and enjoyed it (who cares?). I thought it was more reactive, more handy (folders), generaly speaking more pleasant. I know there has been recently a lot of work on some very technical matters (for me). But there are two basic things that keep me away from using koreader:

1. - It does not have the equivalent of TypeGenius for side-loaded fonts. I had it for some weeks and it was lost after one update.
2. - Hyphenation quality is under average. We have good hyphenation dictionaries in our language, how come we cannot use them?

For these two basic reasons, I switched back to the main Kobo reading software some two or three months ago. Can some progress be expected on these two points above in the next months?
