I'm running stock 7.00 and -I know- it sucks... Page breaks are random and that makes the reading comfort disappear. However, the HW isn't that ugly.
I'm not using nubico nor any other store (for that I have a Kobo). I create my ebooks myself from the *gutenberg.* (au,de,us) sites. SO yes, I'm basically re-reading things I (should have) read in school - that was +/- in the stone age :-)
I'd like to explore the possibility of creating a 100% open source firmware for this device with a nice doc, so that anyone can create it and keep it updated. As a side effect, we might strip off many things and optimise it. Turn off the WIFI for good and forget about the IP stack, etc. That should win us a couple of cycles and minutes in the battery life.
Is this really SciFi?
