I've played with 1.1 a bit, and here are some initial reactions:

Table of Contents is now working properly! Good work. In fact, I just tried a book with multi-level ToC, and it worked very nicely! Thanks.

I see you've added some option refinements, which is good. Except...it's now one more step to change from windowed to full-screen. I'd really like that to be a quick toggle. Someone suggested offering the option of a center tap being that toggle. I second the motion.

Page turns seem slower than in Freda 1.0, a little like the lag in an e-ink reader. (I have two nearly identical Axims, one running 1.0 and one running 1.1. Page turns are definitely quicker in 1.0.) Though, as I play with it more, I find the page turn speed to vary a lot. I suppose it's a cache or buffering thing. But it's probably the single thing that troubles me the most, as I'm sometimes hitting the page control twice, when I think it didn't detect the first command--then it jumps too far. Then I've lost my place.

The animated "Paging..." was a little irritating when I saw it. But then I stopped seeing it. So I don't know what triggers it. But if it's going to be there, I'd prefer maybe just small, animated dots--so you know something's happening, but it's unobtrusive.

This isn't new, but I'm very happy to be able to select justify or not-justify.

The Bookshelf was all screwed up at first. But I think that was from the update. I cleared it, then opened a few books, then checked it again and it was fine.

Great progress! I'm really glad to have this option on my PDA. Thanks!
