[Bookeen] Further explanations on Mobi Firmware

Hello,

I am Michael and working at Bookeen.

I will try to answer to some of your questions. In the "Mobi version" of the firmware:
1) Better Menu structures: the menu structure has not changed but the "Key Repeat" feature has been added. It means that you no longer have to click 5 times to reach the 6th entry of your menu, just hold down the key. As we have also accelerated the video driver, the operation is fast. Among all the readers, Cybook Gen3 should have the fastest interface. By the way, the "Key Repeat" feature is also available for hyperlinks.
2) PDF support has not changed. Hyperlinks are not supported. Reflow is not supported.
3) No "NON DRM" ePUB support on Mobi version.
4) HTML, TXT support has not changed
5) Font size increasing and decreasing on + and -: this feature has been asked by many customers (some of them are Mobilereaders) so we added it.
6) There will be MOBI and ePUB firmwares available for all versions of the machines.
7) We have been recently been certified by Adobe. We are the first to receive this certification.
8) Reading while charging is not available. I am not sure we said it would be. But I am ready to stand the critics on this point.

"Mobipocket" version should be released first, few days before "ePUB" version.

We will add a post to describe the "ePUB" version features.

Best regards,

Michael for Bookeen
