Carver.epub" and "Sunborn - Jeffrey A. Carver.epub" from his site, but freda is not able to open them on my HD2 device.
What a suprise when I renamed Sunborn to "xxx.epub" and freda could open it.

Hi, Joker! Thanks for reading my books.

I've been using Freda for about a month now. I never thought to check and see how my own books looked in it. I guess I should.

One feature I'd love to see in the library would be an ability to sort by author. But whether that's worth the complications you described, Jim, I don't know.

Maybe what I'd like more (if it's possible) is a faster parsing of the page count. Anytime I do something like resize the font or change from full screen to window mode, there's this gray screen and a wait. I think, if a wait is necessary, I'd rather see the last screen of text with an indicator to say that it's repaginating.

Oh--and something annoying that just happened to me last night, while reading sleepily in the dark--was that I hit something (no idea) what, and found myself at the end of the book. I tried to Go Back to where I'd been, and the Back button was greyed out. I took me a lot of paging around to find my place again. I'm sorry I can't give more information on just what went wrong, but it did seem as though it should be possible to go back to the previous location.

Thanks, Jim, for all the work. I hope you had a nice rest over the holidays.
