I upgraded to the new firmware today.
For all those who are confused by the date: This is the November 5, 2009 update, whether it is listed as 20090511, or 05112009, or any other format. Remember, we American's use a different dating format than the rest of the world. Personally, I prefer YYYYMMDD, it makes it much easier to sort on computers. However, I adjust to however it is listed.
It does have the date and time you can see in the settings selection. Setting it is not intuitive, until you play with it. Just hit the number keys in order, don't try to 9am by hitting just the 9. Hit 0 then 9.
The zooms are better in PDF and probably epubs (I don't use epubs, so I can't confirm this)
I am still having trouble with the wheel on the right. I can't seem to press and move it at the same time. It doesn't matter to me since I don't use that. But I couldn't get it to access the "volume" for the TTS. But in playing with it, I noticed that the TTS sounds better....
Robert...did they upgrade the TTS voice? It sounds much better to me now. Or am I getting senile? (senior moment)
I can't speak to the better battery, since I've had excellent battery life from day one. But, there again, I always turn mine all the way off when I am not using it, even if it is for a few minutes. And, yes, the new clock does reset when you do this.
Where does the clock come into play? Is it needed to check out library books, or in the FB setttings as a previous post here said. Or what?
Thanks, ASTAK and Jinke's....looking forward to more improvements as you make them.
