So far as I know, you can't go to R in the author list directly. The best you can do is go to `PRQS' from the first page of the index. If you've got 4000 books, then probably the PQRS section has about 40 page of flat index. So you then got to hunt for the author you want by to-ing and fro-ing through these 40 pages, where each button press takes a second or to to update the screen.
Unless there is some clever way of doing all this, which I have overlooked, then it just strikes me as unrewarding. Not impossible, sure, but irritatingly time-wasting.
I am interested in the OpenInkpot effort, also. But simply to improve the navigation on the PRS shouldn't require replacing the operating system. Or so it seems to me.
