I yesterday decided to really make MM crash. So I downloaded a nearly 100 MB PDF file, put it on my reader and opened it. MM was dutiful enough to tell me that such a big file may need a long time to be loaded. Nevertheless the book (840 pages of digital pics) was loaded in about 25-30 secs! I zoomed to column view, scrolled. Everything worked just fine, albeit a bit slower than usual! She's a mighty one, my mouse!
Formats: RTF is nowhere mentioned as being supported by the PocketBook. It works, however. The original formatting is lost, so no bold or italics and no centered headings. The normal FBReaders formatting applies, though: in my case justified text and indented paragraphs. For smoothly reading a text, this is fine.
The same is true for MS Doc files. The illustrations are gone in this format and pure text remains. PocketBook, as far as I know, is the only hardware Reader supporting this format anyway, so that's good enough for me!
File handling is a breeze with the 360: You choose one file or folder, hold the ok button and a detailed menu pops up: You're now able, to move and rename, to open with different apps, to rename, to create folders and so on! That's the bee's knee's!
Bad news! I tried to flash the 301 firmware on my Cool-er, whose firmware seems more than a bit clumsy to me right now! Couldn't get it to work, whatever I tried! If anyone knows a way to do this, please let me know! It should be possible, as the hardware's largely the same! Ah well!
