I'm about ready to give up on Whispernet. It's been trying to download a particularly large book since yesterday, and repeatedly failing and restarting. The 'documents' directory is gradually filling up with temporary files from the partial download: seems the code is not smart enough to resume a download from where it failed. It's also not smart enough to notice that I've already installed that book, via USB!
Some sort of download progress indicator would be nice.
I've cancelled my trial subscription to The Independent (UK newspaper) after one day, because this morning, instead of the paper, I had an apology letter saying that today's issue would be late due to technical problems. It's a shame they didn't iron out the bugs before launch. If the morning paper isn't waiting for me on my bedside table when I wake up, I might as well read it later on the web, for free.
The clock is an hour slow, and I don't see any way to reset it. Perhaps Amazon's DST tables are faulty? We're still on daylight saving, for a few more days.
