Hi p38lightning,

The way you use your Inkpad is about the same as mine. I don't use wifi and browser at all. From day 1 I put the Inkpad on firmware version 4.x as I didn't want the problems with the epub reader on 5.x.

But a month ago, I installed coolreader3 and have been a happy camper since. The battery lasts longer on cr3 than the standard readers, and turning pages is faster as well.

Anyways, is there anything new in the alpha software that you recommend updating for? I'm just wondering if I should try it. Ofcourse it is easy to revert, but I'm doing a battery test and will not update/downgrade for a period of probably two weeks.

One thing I'm miss in firmware 4.x is that the event of recently added books doesn't seem to work. When I select it, I get an empty directory.

[reason is that I want to drain my battery by using it only for reading. I'm on four weeks now and about 40% charge left. Did quite a bit of reading last week so average is 3 hours a day]
