After uprade to the new software version (W626.5.12.366) I have serious issues with the PocketBook Touch Lux 3:


Issue no. 1:

- epub books closing on its own on page turn (when epub file is opened with FBReader the file doesn't close - the issue is only with the default PocketBook epub reader). I hadn't had this issue before the upgrade (i.e. with the previous version of the software).

See here: https://youtu.be/AIeFqf-eMmE

The other issue I see is this:

Issue no.2:

- when you once open a file with FBReader (by using long press on the file and then /Open with/FBReader) this file will be from now on always opened with FBReader even if you next time just click on the file (not using long press/Open with/FBReader). That means if you once open some book with FBReader then from now on you have no way to open the file with the default PocketBook reader. (You can see if the file is opened with the default reader or FBReader because of the difference in showing text in italic - default reader is always showing the italic text with the same font no matter what is set in the options. FBReader is showing italic text with the font set in options.)

The third issue is related to the previous but pertains the default bookmark:

Issue no. 3:

- when you close the book opened with the default reader it remembers the place where you stopped reading. Next time you open this book it will open in the place where you stopped reading - that's the desired behaviour. Now is the issue - when you open the same book in FBReader it will open on the first page (not the one where you stopped reading in the default reader) and you have no way to find the place to continue the reading because you have no way to open the book with the default reader (because of the issue no. 2.)

Really big bugs have been introduced with this version. I hope it will be solved soon as this makes the reader pretty inconvenient to use.
