I just found this thread after searching in Google.

I have like laurai had several lockups during the night (I also always lock the keyboard when not reading), implying pointer problems (eg. programming errors, memory leaks and the like). The lockups during the night and the fact that one can continue reading after the lockup has been cleared, show that the problem is not just a bad character (a problem jinke anyway could solve very easily).

Another thing is that I like to have some idea of how far into the book I am: the page calculation routine does not work at all as the last page indicated is ridiculous; in fact, it does not work on any of the formats I have tried. It should be changed to show the number of bytes out of the total read as a percentage instead. iSilo does this and that is fine.

The software in BEBOOK Mini seems to have been rushed out and one could get the impression that they are using their customers as beta-testers.

This is a shame as I like the screen, the design and the ergonomics and the fact that the reader can (well, is supposed to) read so many formats.
