There's some things that are very buggy in Coolreader.

It get's in a state where a single page turn takes 4 seconds of intense green led flashing. This is particular to the book you are reading. You can open a new one and the page turn speed is normal - then go back to your first book, and the speed is still slow.

Also, make sure to set a bookmark before you fiddle with the menu. It can crash out completely to the PP file list, losing your place again. It's done this to me a few times now.

Just before I typed this, I watched it go through about 60 seconds of thrashing the green light before it bombed out. After this it crashed the PP when I tried to reopen the book - had to reset it. The upside of this crash is that page turns are now back to normal for that book.

Also, never plug the reader into your computer via USB while Coolreader is open in a book. It will totally forget where you are up to in the book.

Another small gripe - 'Show manual' from the menu just dumps you back in the book.
