Hey @kbarni,

Thank you! Your:

cd /mnt/us/kindle_abiword
./launch.sh

did the trick, and probably the DontUseFBInk.

I wonder why you're not getting a menu now. It works on my Oasis. Can you upload your run.log? I know it will be throwing missing icon errors still, but there might be something new in it that I haven't seen.

I uploaded the same script, just using the existing icon in the kindle_abiword directory.

I will be releasing Alpha 1.1 this weekend. Changes are:

1. I figured out the reason for the text disappearing and reappearing while typing. In the original Abiword code there is a white out and redraw happening so quickly that it is imperceptible on an LCD screen at 60Hz. I have added some measures against it, and so typing looks smooth and less annoying. It does still need to refresh, but I mapped it to refresh locally upon backspace and period so it happens more naturally.

2. I added some more missing icon files to quiet the run.log.
