Hey Hey

Here I am again

I Played a bit through te new firmware (14.2). First results:

FBReader has a few new decoding options (cyrillic, East Asian and so on)
When jumping wuith the outline TOC to a chapter, the beginning of the chapter is always on a new page, a pageturn does not turn to a new page entirely but takes a part of page 1 and adds some new text. This strange behavious stems from the fact that the old paginating is set back. This is quite frustrating as far as the reading flow goes!
Someone (jojoxyz I think) mentioned that it might be a good idea if it were possible to make a 180 nin Patience and Battleship! That would be way more ergonomical.
I'm using the Longman dict now. Man, that's the wordiest dictionary ever, i tell you (3 pages of text to explain "way", for example) The dictionary swaps from all the way up to all the way down in ADE now, couldn't do that before.
Adobe Reader seems to be a little bit more obedient now, especially as the cropping of margins is concerned. Way to go, guys!
Sorry to say that, but the ADE viewer still only jumps back to the virtual page you were last reading and you still have to turn a few pages before you land where you stopped reading before! The PB boys are working hard on this, it seems!
FBReader incorporates now a few ameliorations that SFF (one of our german users) incorporated in FBReader. Now all the graphics and links are working faultlessly!
MM did an involuntary stunt again, thanks to Mister Stupid here! I had it linked to my netbook and took a glass from the table, thereby tumbling MM to the tiles one meter deeper! MM is none the worse for it! Again: please don't do this @ home!
