@parkher: Okay, here are the results of my tests of CoolReader (jotas) on my T63. If I missed anything, sorry! Please let me know!

1) Do the physical buttons work in file manager and in settings?

Yes to both. I can scroll through my book collection page-by-page with the physical buttons. I can also scroll up or down a list of folders with the buttons.

2) Switching off the indexing of books by the native (Boyue, I presume) software:

I find that if I don't go into Books, the indexing doesn't happen. If I do, the indexing is buggy. So I don't. As long as you never go there, it shouldn't be an issue.

3) Can CoolReader see/access books in hidden folders (like .Bookz)?

No. CoolReader doesn't show hidden folders at all in its list of folders. I added .Books to the internal and to the external SD cards. Neither show up in the Cool Reader folder list. Nor do any hidden folders (like .android) that are already on my device.

4) Is the external SD accessible through Cool Reader?

Yes. Except for hidden folders, CoolReader will show folders on the external SD.

Hope this helps!
