I've installed Freda on my new-to-me Axim X50V, now with WM 6.1. I've only had a little time to play with it, but initial reaction is positive. (I also installed ZuluReader at the same time, so I could compare them. But I find Zulu's UI pretty confusing--hard to see how to open a book, for one thing--so I'm more interested in Freda right now.)

A couple of things that I'd like to see addressed, if you haven't already:

Like someone above, I found that switching Library view to Details didn't stick, and I wish it would.

When I adjusted the font under Settings, I couldn't get it any larger than 12 point. That's fine for ordinary reading, but when I'm reading in bed in the dark, I like to use a larger font, so that I can read myself to sleep without my glasses on. (I do this regularly with MobiReader.) I also tried tweaking the color (I find red on black to be very comfortable in a dark room), but that seemed to work only up to a point.

Anyway, I look forward to see the program develop. Thanks!
