"Rough around the edges" isn't quite the term I'd use for the Linux version. I "installed" it, then spent about 15 minutes trying to figure out what else it needed (that I didn't have loaded) before wiping it off my hard drive - mainly because I didn't want to load all of Mozilla to view the 1 or 2 eBooks that are in this format.
I don't expect too much from a beta version, but it's got a long way to go before it's useful. The top of the list for me will be the elimination of the web browser to view content.
