I've just tried Plato 0.2.0 on my Aura One (the latest firmware and latest KSM) using tshering's script. I'm not at all familiar with Linux so I've no idea what's behind the code, so I can only comment on my user experience. It executed and it just looks beautiful, clean and sharp. Colour inversion, browsing, the bitonal setting, search and sorting all work very well. With tshering's script, the rotation is properly maintained, and everything is pretty much seamless on that front.

I'm no expert, but I presume some of the issues I've encountered might simply be a consequence of a lack of setting things up as Plato wants/needs things to be. For example, some settings don't seem to do anything, and I'm not sure if my device is at fault, or if it's because they aren't there yet. The brightness doesn't seem to work, nothing happens when I press the font button, etc.

Also, Plato found 4077 books in my library across 453 pages (the actual number is nowhere near that, it's something like 400 at most). Without going into the complications of having to compile a database, might a simpler solution be to simply display only the supported files? I have noticed that the list included various xml files from KOReader and files from Callibre folders, dictionary files, etc. I have found that I can actually navigate through the real files reasonably well, the main issue being wading through the junk files.

It might be prudent to make the alt key a toggle. When you're trying to input a 2 or 3-digit number into the page skip, it can get annoying. Also, I think that the authors' list needs a way of becoming larger, just to speed up the process of finding an author.

Finally, trying to open a larger epub file crashes Plato back to KSM. My specific files were Delphi editions of Balzac and Dickens, 31 megs and 50+ megs respectively, so it also might be due to the way the files were built? Either way, you can find the log in the spoiler below.

I realise it's early days, but I really like Plato, and with continued development, I can see it becoming my favourite software. I'm here for any and all testing that needs to be done.
