Ectaco just informed me in their forum that a new update will be out the end of May. It will provide dictionary support for the new file formats. I also hope they address some bugs I have been experiencing.

The most important for me is the failure of auto power off to work all the time. I went to bed the other day only to wake up with a "low voltage" pop up. I was on the road without the charger too. This bug occurs frequently for me.

The led sometimes just starts to blink every couple seconds. I'd love to be able to turn it off completely in settings. I don't want to be reminded I am holding an electronic device every time I turn a page. I want to stay in the book.

When opening books several things might happen. Thankfully most of the time the book will open, but sometimes the hourglass just continues endlessly, requiring a reset. On other occasions, it will revert to the home screen, the one with "Ectaco jetBook" at the top.

That's really all I can think of at the moment. All but the LED are rather easily dealt with, but it would be nice if they were remedied.
