I have a T80 with firmware 1.0.2. One of the post said that I can restore to 2.0 so I followed it and found my reader bricked (can't seem to turn on). In my panic, I restored it to 1.0.1 and it was still bricked. And then I restore 2.0 on top of 1.0.1 and it came up with a new wall paper with a boat. Before it is like a boat on a river in a city.

I like the new version much better. Seem faster response rate. The dictionary is very fast and when close, not a black screen refresh. Only the dictionary is English to chinese. Then when I tried Koreader, it works smoothly. Before Koready crashed all the time opening a majority of my epubs (some is ok). So I think i'll stick with Koreader on this ROM as it can use external dictionary and I can reduce the margin. Somehow I'm fine with the margin of the old FBReader but the new default reader has bigger margin.

I noticed on a chinese website, they have two version of ROM: one for local chinese and one for international. Maybe the international version has external dictionary? If it is the case, I will switch back to the default reader for the performance and dictionary.
