Thanks for the feedback. I'm guessing that you only want stretching when fitting the whole image into the display. I'll think about it, but it looks difficult to implement the way the current code works. Accommodating all the various fit modes is hard enough as it is, and adding different scale factors for the X and Y directions would make it doubly so. If there's a simple way to accomplish it, I'll do it, but I'm not promising anything at this point.

The CBR/CBZ/CB7/TAR archives don't have any metadata stored in them (e.g. TITLE, GENRE,...). Even if that information was stored in some special file inside the archive, I don't think the PocketBook devices would be able to automatically fetch it and add it to their database. So, organizing the archives into folders and choosing by file name is pretty much the only option.

If you launch an application from the Applications tab and then change to another thread (Main window, Library app,...), the application is still running in the background. If you try to relaunch it again from the Applications tab, it will just show you the currently running version. That's why it looked like it was opening to the last page you were looking at. If you quit the application (tap at top-left, or select Exit from main menu), then you'll get the directory chooser the next time you launch from Applications.

The directory chooser is only for choosing directories with image files in them; it doesn't choose files inside of them. PocketBook designed their interface so that file choosing is only done within the Library app. They don't offer a file chooser widget in the SDK. So, if you want to choose a particular archive file, you have to do it through the Library app.

I'm not sure why Calibre is so slow. I don't use it for transferring files, so I can't really comment on it. Maybe someone else can say something about it.
